Huwei Ascend VS IPod / Iphone

I

iPod

Lurker
I got a free iPod touch 8 gig in the mail today and I am just floored at how smooth everything is. By comparison the ascend is slow and choppy. Does anyone here (who owns an iPhone or touch) know if rooting my phone will make it as smooth or if there is a way to make the ascend more clean like an I-phone? Also I only have 5 apps installed on the ascend. And I am writing this on my IPod touch because my ascend was too laggy... ;)

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes look in All Things Root Section as Nutmegg said. If I were you I would flash CM7. its very smooth and doesn't have that choppy/laggy feel. I highly suggest you do this.
 
Nobody is going to ask how they got the free ipod? Figured it was put out as bait, i'll bite. How did you get the free ipod?

Sorry for not being clear. I hate Apple and would never consider owning any of their products. I wouldn't have gone out of my way to actually pay money for one but Cablevision (Optimum Online) is doing a promo where if you get the tripple play, tv, phone, internet, they send it to you for free. Or you can get a $300 gift card...

Thanks for the help!

just by rooting no. Now if you install CM6/7 it can come close. But I think even the specs for the ipod are better than the ascend, so no not quite as good.

Now with a better android phone most deff!!!!
 
I dont know, I gotta say my buddy has the Iphone 3g and he and I did a comparison while hooked up to wifi (im on metro) only way it would be fair. And I must say my phone with the latest Cm7 build is a tad bit quicker. Just did this tonight. I love the new cm7 rom. I was considering switching to a provider with atleast 3g but I am enjoying my phone alot more now. Gonna wait on the 3g service for now,

Glad to hear you wouldn't buy anything from apple. Lol. I certainly wouldn't either.

I'm the same way. I wouldn't use an Apple product if someone gave it to me. The biggest reason: I don't want to have to install their software on my computer in order to transfer files to the device.

I know right. And I just can't stand that itunes. One time I was trying to install it for family member, I download it and it tells me that I don't have th 64 bit version, but on their website there is no option to choose if you want the 32 or 64 Bit version its complete crap that Itunes. Then it just has to have background services and it must be on startup or else it won't open. Now I remember all the issues from that iTunes a couple years ago.

I love being able to just use Windows Explorer to copy the files over. No special software required. But it just wouldn't be Apple if some proprietary software wasn't involved.
