As someone who's returned more +'s (two, one my brother's and one for a friend at work) than you'll own, I can only assure you that if I had even the SLIGHTEST amount of jelousy I could have easily had myself an iPhone Titanic.
Just because someone points out flaws in a device doesn't make them jealous lol... by your logic, Apple fanboys are all jealous of Samsung's plastic phones.
If you're happy with a phone that lags because of hardware OUT OF THE BOX, then fabulous. I'd venture to guess you aren't as OCD as most fanboys, and for that I really do applaud you.
It doesn't change the fact that you are compromising a lag free experience for .8" of screen real estate, but it's your choice to do so.
I'd prefer to have a device that DOESN'T jitter and lag, but hey, I guess that makes me jelly? Okie Dokie
