View Full Version : BlackBerry vs. IPhone

I have had a NiggerBerry for several years and just got a iPhone the other day.
I still use the NiggerBerry for certain project dealing with bussines. The first thing I did when i got the iPhone was log into vnnf. Vnnf is my testiment on if I was going to be happy with this phone over the NiggerBerry.
At first I didn't think I would like visiting the forum too well with the iPhone. The NiggerBerry stacks the seagments of the forum pages up on one another so you scroll down as you read the pages. As for the
iPhone you have to use your finger to navigate the page by touching the screen and moving your finger on the screen to what you want to read
The NiggerBerry uses a push button keyboard where as the iPhone uses a touch screen key board. The iPhone key pad is better and larger than the Vu phone key pad I had. I hardly ever visited vnnf with the Vu phone it was just to annoying.
The iPhone is much faster at loading pages than the NiggerBerry. The iPhone can also zoom in on a picture and words where as a NiggerBerry can do so. The iPhone has a better spell check once you download an app.
To get the iPhone to work more effeciently you have to download seperate applications (apps). There are also programs out for older iPhones where you can jail beak your iPhone to let you download apps that the Yids at Apple want to charge you for.
I have not been able to find any jail breark programs that will sync with my iPhon since it has the newest software. Maybe someone here might know of a program that will not make me have to reprogram my phone every time I shut it off.
Over all the iPhone is way better than the NiggerBerry. I'm still working on getting used to the iPhone.

How does VNN load on it? I assume badly. The recent videos/music columns must look messed up

The formatting is fine, but could be improved upon for mobile users. The lettering is way too small in vertical mode, but in landscape it looks pretty good.
The only media that will play are youtube videos and mp3s.

On this phone vnnf loads pretty quick with G3 and it depends on how many bars you have with edge on how fast it downloads.
On the iPhone the formatting looks like it does on a laptop. You will have to zoom in on how large you want to read the print, which isn't a big deal. Flow of navigating is pretty steady.
I wish vnn had an app for the forum. That way you could go directly to vnnf from the front page without going to bookmarks, plus an app would look cool:D

this is the phone I have now.. The browser isn't that great. It's kindve similar to iphone I guess, since it has a front touch screen. I don't pay for any subscriptions/apps or internet/webbrowsing on it though.

The iPod Touch is just about the same. It's quite awesome, although you have to adjust the type. On this phone vnnf loads pretty quick with G3 and it depends on how many bars you have with edge on how fast it downloads.

What is the fascination of tele fucking communications? Why would I want to talk on the phone to lots of different people who aren't going to tell me anything I don't already know. Maybe it's just me but I try and lessen contact with the outside world as much as possible not increase it by yacking with people who may well be millions of miles away and have nothing of importance to say to me.
And what the hell is up with texting? A slightly more cumbersome and frustrating way of communicating would be carrier pigeon(but not by much) because with texting you have to type it out on a super dinky keyboard with a bunch of arrows and buttons that you're not sure what the hell they do. I once sent a 20 word text message that took me about an hour to compose(and see) only to press "send" and then get a reply that said: "Thankyou for adding 10,000 hours of air time on your cell phone charged to Steve b credit card.....oh, and merry xmas."
And why would any sane person want to view a video or VNN or anything on a screen that is about 2.5 inches diagonally? Doesn't it kind of like ruin the effect and viewing pleasure? Yeah, maybe if I just squint enough and look at it from an angle I'll be able to make out the cool new top youtube video or perhaps watch a rousing game of chinese table tennis.
To me tele communication is mostly aggravation. However, it can be vital at times as in, "Congratulations Mr. b, this is the state lottery commission and you've just won the 100 mil grand prize."
Or..."Mr. b, this is the fire department and we have a report of an out of control inferno burning in your garage presumably started by your careless use of your homemade distillation of alcohol contraption ."
And even better, "Hi Steve this is Hortense, great news... the test came back negative....I'm not pregnant."
So yeah, important transmissions via the air ways is umm important but not for stoopid shit.

I had the LG Vu. The touch screen stopped working in December and my up grade availability for a new phone wasn't due until January. I had insurance on the phone.
I paid the fifty dollars and got a new Vu sent to me. I gave the new Vu phone to Theresa for a christmas present and got a cheap go phone until I could up grade to a new phone.
The iPhone blows the Vu out of the water.

With elderly parents who live 400 miles away from me in the summer, it's the best mode of contact. Plus, last minute changes for meetings at work and social gatherings. Landline is going the way of the Dodo. Plus, long distance charges are too high. You don't have to worry about it with a cell phone. In fact, I dropped my old carrier because there was a pricetag for all the add ons. I went with a company that doesn't make you pay for all the addons. It's only $35. A month with a free phone. My iPod Touch works on free wi-fi. Good enough for my budget.

What do you think about putting VNN Radio Broadcasts on iTunes Podcasts?
I could set it up, it's real easy. In fact, iTunes Store has some WP Music. How could they reject it? :D

Neither.
A phone is supposed to... let you phone. Not take pictures, record pixelated video mess or browse the web. :)

My carrier is one of those cheap $50 a month for everything plans but not even the voice service works. My calls are almost always broken several times during the conversation.
This particular carrier has come out with a Blackberry phone which is on the Sprint (3G) network. My phone is currently on an ancient iDen network so I'm thinking about buying a Blackberry and getting the unlimited package for $60 a month. It has to be better than what I've got now and a BB to boot.
I'm not paying for any contracts at this point in life. There are to many other options available for that unless you want what the advertising execs think you should own.

A friend of mine traded his iphone for a blackberry and now he regrets it.
The iphone webbrowser uses the Webkit rendering engine so it renders webpages very well

That sounds like a good idea, Dale. Could you be able to make an iPhone app for vnn and vnnforum?

Yeah, iPhone is way better than the NiggerBerry by far. The one main down fall of the iPhone is that is does not allow adobe Video streaming yet.
The ipad looks like it might be a cool product and much more conveinant then a laptop or desk top.

I have sprint's knock off of the iphone, called the Instinct..... EVERYONE I know has an Iphone and my internet is def faster. I can also get decent browsing speed internet without even having to plug my phone into my laptop....
What I mean is that I can use my phone as a wireless high speed dial up modem for a pc or mac. Im not supposed to be able to of course but its pretty simple to do.
On top of that it has some damn good meter by meter gps that blows any other phone gps away that i have ever seen..... and mine is the older model.
I really do love this damn phone.

That is the same phone as my Vu. It is a pretty good phone, but I can do way more with the iPhone. Pluss the iPhone screen is bigger.

I have an hTC Touch 3G clone, so it's basically an hTC Touch without the 3G LOL. I am one of the wish I had an Iphone crowd I reckon. :D I have SPB Mobile Shell (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/) running on mine tho' and it's much better than the default option.

These are free tools and good resourses to reach people.

Funny how people today can't function unless they have all that crap. All I keep is a Seiko watch and change for a payphone, and I'm typing this on a model 2003 emachines.

When I first started driving over the road. I was put in an old cab over International. The thing had no A/C, no air bags, no am/fm radio nothing but the bare essentials.
The common person could not afford cell phones at that time all I had was a map and pay phones that you used with 1-800 numbers. I didn't get a cb radio until a few months out on the road and I bought it used for $20.
I wonder how these new drivers would handle that life style if they were cut off from all of their luxeries and had to drive with the bare basics? I would venture to say that they would be misserable. Just you and the highway and nothing more. Not even a ATM card.

I think a generic app that reformats v-bullitin forums for iPhones/iPads would be a great idea. You could even sell it and make a profit. However, it's very unlikely a VNN specific app would be approved by the Apple Store.
There's a similar problem with creating a FB page since once the anti-whites find it they will demand it be deleted. Also, very few WN's are out in the open, and technically you are supposed to use your own name to join FB. Not to mention the fact that FB is increasingly undermining users' privacy.

saw this on JdNs blog..:cool:
"Tesla..saw wireless energy as the only way to make electricity thrive.
He wrote in the magazine that, one day it would be possible to transmit wireless messages all over the world...
imagined such a hand-held device would be simple to use and that, one day, everyone in the world would communicate to friends using it.
This, he added, would usher in a new era of technology."

I don't even own a cellphone. How shocking that is for people when they want my number and I say ohh i don't have a phone. I have a magic jack which i unplug and only plug in when I need to call my husband to pick up milk on the way home from work. So peaceful. I hate phones.

I went years without a phone. When I was finally pressured enough by family and job to get one, I hated it. I kept it unplugged almost all the time and used it only to call out.
Oddly enough, I find that a cell phone works well for me, now. I have no land line. I get really cheap cell phones with prepaid minutes. I average between 3 and 8 minutes use a month. I disable all ringers on the phone and keep it in the pocket of an old parka in the closet of my home office. I check it once a day to see if there is anything I need to respond to. If I get a voice mail from a number I don't recognize, I delete the message without listening to it.
Every blue moon, a friend or family member insists that I have to be available to answer a call at some approximate time. I bring the phone out and stare at it until it rings (Actually it doesn't ring, but some light flashes.) These times really are miserable.
I hate phones.

Not being rude, but are you guys actually bragging about being behind in technology?
Amy Moore
May 15th, 2010, 09:36 PM
Why yes I think I am. Although I don't see it as behind on technology I see it as me not needing to rely on said tech gadgets. Txt'ing pisses me off I just won't bother to do it. If you can't spend 1 extra second to write "you" as opposed to typing "u" then fuck off and don't txt me, if it's that important then bloody call me (after you've emailed me to tell me to plug in my magic jack so you can call .lol). Ok sorry off topic there a tad.

The issue, or a part of it anyway, is the creeping over-dependence on high technology, and most people's worship of the acquisition and use of such gadgets to the point those gadgets and gizmos become an end unto themselves and not simply tools to accomplish a task. I do wonder if kids today can even conceive of a time before cell phones with nigger-rap ring tones became a mainstream commodity, internet in every household, and the other 1,001 technological plagues of distraction and environmental shitnoise. It's easy to mock if you have no memories of that time, but I feel bad for you.

If you have a problem with me then deal with it in PM.
I didn't have a cell phone until i was 16. Even still i only use it a few times a day.
Im just saying that the use of a cellphone is a great tool, you don't have to be dependent on it.
