I was more or less talking about the design of the OS and software within the 3, but the body is still up to par. As it sits, it's better. When it gets the JB update, it will sit on the throne unless Apple does something big with the iOS. Let me state that I'm a huge fan of the iOS. It's smooth, fast, and pretty. However, I've had the chance to fool around with JB and it's superior in just about everyway.
What I meant by using a smartphone was knowing how and using the 'ecosystem,' ect. Most tween iphone users you come across text, call, and play words with friends.
While I see and understand your argument, that is not true IMO. Check out JellyBean and see if you still think the same.
To my knowledge, 4.1 hasn't been rolled out yet to the masses. I have a friend with a GSIII running 4.0 who had GPS issues. He's technically more inclined than I am. He couldn't get it to work properly, so he took it back to VZW for another one. Same problem. Third time was the charm, but really...why three times for something that should work right out of the box?
My iPhone is jailbroken for 2 reasons only: SBSettings and Zephyr. I love those apps, but they're buggy, which is probably why Apple hasn't implemented them yet. If they can perfect them, then you'll probably see them in a future iOS update.
