I just don't understand why someone would want a phone bigger than 4 inches flat. Ill admit 3.5 inches does seem rather small these days but lets be real 3.5 inches wasn't even an issue before HTC started throwing out these giant screens.
What I see in android now is that they are maturing as an OS. Its becoming more fluid, the screens are beautiful, but they still have a ways to go if they intend on gaining customers who are ecosystem aware.
It's impossible for android to get customers like myself to committ because I'm in tuned with what iOS has to offer and am not willing to give apples A class hardware up for cheap materials. It's comfort in knowing that the phone and OS I choose is supported by so many brands and companies. When I watch tv, I'm constantly seeing ads,commercials, and plugs telling me to download this app and download that app. These apps being advertised are always iOS apps. They are never android apps or windows apps. My phone and my OS is and will always be the best because it's able to offer me more as a consumer and provides me a stable environment to be entertained in and be productive in. It may never be the biggest or the fastest, but it's definitely the only one that the world can't live without.
Cheap materials? C-mon dude, the iPhone is made in friggin China!!!!!!!!! They didnt bring the plastic and all the parts from the USA just so the China people can just slap it together. Are you really serious with that? The glass on it shatters into a thousand pieces and the plastic on the phone prior leaked light and cracked around the edges.
I dropped my Galaxy S Vibrant the other day facedown on asphalt in a parking lot and thought it was a gonner from 4 feet up but when i picked it up, the screen protector had a few divits in it from it landing on the pebbles/small rocks that is on asphalt and the screen was fine! Now my screen protector just dont look real good now.
So please....STOP with the iphone is made from gold and titanium type BS and then say teh Samsung Galaxy S II is made of cheap materials because you guys sound real lame when you do that.
As for your App rant...who cares? There are over 250,000 Android Apps. Many of which are the same ones in iTunes and of those 250,000 Apps, i think im using about 80-90 of them. So the other thousands of them ....much like in iTunes are useless to me.
You also just got Siri and the Android voice sysem works very similar and in the GS2 vs IP4S video...worked just as well and in some cases took less steps to do the same thing as Siri..
Apple is still trying to catch up and now you have to wait another year to make progress while Android has a newer, better phone coming out already in a couple months.
So i hope you enjoy seeing those comercials telling you to download this app and that app because it means nothing in the grands scheme of it all except that....NEWS FLASH...The iPhone is a popular device!
Its just not the best!
