@SublimeGreen: You're joking, right? This has to be a joke.

@georhehagi: What the hell are you even arguing?

@mrm: So bumpers are just for making the iPhone look good? I thought they designed it to look good. What gives?

@TangoTL: Then what was it made to do?

Pleeeeaaaaaassssssse buy one, Gizmodo!

@Nemesis311: If Android isn't the platform for you, I understand. If you take issue with some of the features, or lack of features, Google has implemented, I will debate you spiritedly. If you think Android "stands no chance," well, that's just laughable. There is a mountain of evidence, no... a mountain range of…

@phinn: You'll never look back. Android might not be the utopia of speed and fluidity that iOS is (I can't think of any software designed to work across multiple hardware platforms that is,) but the freedom to choose the phone you want, and then do with it whatever you want, is worth it ten-fold.

Someday we're all going to have to face down these blatant stereotypes.

After your first crash in the top helmet, you have the wear the bottom one.

@TheNimboo: I'm not really disappointed. The only advantage Swype has over SlideIt, as far as I can tell, is that it was designed for WVGA resolution, which is something I'm sure SlideIt will have fixed soon. In any case right now I'm using SwiftKey, which makes texting amazingly efficient (and typing long e-mails…

@paulrules: Mercifully.

@TheNimboo: Check the last page of that thread. The beta isn't working anymore, you need a code.

@Hearthatvoiceagain: Yeah, SwiftKey is what I have installed right now. I love it for texting and writing e-mails, but it gets tedious for Internet browsing and searches, which is where I think SlideIt really excels. Since I do more texting and e-mailing, though, I'll probably stick with SwiftKey. I wish the…

@Ic3Cold: Well I made an account and downloaded Swype, but the program says the trial period has expired. No one else in that thread is having this problem, so I'll have to go back to SlideIt for now (unless you have any ideas.) Thanks for the link, though.

@Ic3Cold: Really? Where? I have not found any mention of this anywhere.

@Owned Wolf: Are you sure you weren't in Bizarro New York? The two are easy to confuse.

I don't understand why websites keep talking up Swype when I can't even get it. Okay, maybe it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but that doesn't do me a lot of good if it isn't available, does it? Rather than waiting for the next 5-second window to get in on their beta, I'll just stick with SlideIt, which…

That image is awesome.

@kingcrim84: I blame that entirely on Gawker's "audition" system of approving commenters, and I wish other sites would follow suit. It's amazing what good discussions can result from a little well-placed moderation. If anyone here is familiar with the Something Awful forums, I think those should be a model for the…

@Zaixionito: Here's a tip: accusing Gizmodo of accepting bribes doesn't make you sound edgy and provocative, just stupid and uninformed.
