Er, most of the review sites I see don't rate the iPhone as the best. AND there are most Android phones sold than IOS.

If there were loads of manufacturers installing iOS then iOS may well be the biggest....when ten gazillion different people manufacture devices for Android it's always gonna be that way.

Then come the massive fragmentation issues ;)

You would say that, what with you being a Fandroid.

(I learned a new word)
 
There's loads of different phones that are classed as Android.
There's only the iPhone that uses IOS.

The crux of the Apple argument. Non iFans LIKE the choice that Apple doesn't give. Different hardware combinations, differnt usability features, different pricing structures.

Its still the same platform.

Truthfully, I'm not that arsed about Android. I'm not sure I should have bothered with my new phone.

Just like the iTouch, the whole thing is massively underwhealming to me.
 
My plan now is buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 on or around 1st May, sell my iPhone 4. Trial the samsung, see how good Android is these days, then decide if I wanna buy the next iPhone or keep Samsung.

My plan is to buy an Orange San Francisco for £70, root it, install version 2.3 and have a play with it to see if Android has any potential

iOS gives a user friendly platform from which you can make your own to a near infinite extent via the world's best app store.

It's not a lack of choice, it's a focused approach to customisability. Once you start making something too open, it becomes buggy and shit.

If you bought a BMW then you wouldn't want to replace the steering wheel, as you can trust BMW to provide you with a great one in the first place.

I particularly like the steering wheel as its chunky and feels sporty

You always tend to find that these anti-Apple gimps are the type of kids at school whose parents wouldn't buy them adidas boots or summit.
You'd then get them spouting all this shit about how their BHS versions were better because you could use studs that weren't adidas or how you could swap the pointless interchangeable tongues and stuff.
Chips on their shoulders, all of them.

Android has LOTS of potential, loads better than iOS for plenty of things but the sanfransisco is a poor spec to try it on mind..

I did that with the HTC desire HD, have the 3GS was waiting for the next iphone. Had the desire for a month and sold it, biggest thing for me was the browsing, just not a patch on the iphone

Like I said mate, its the crux of the apple/not apple argument.

Apple fans like being given the 1 hardware device that runs in 1 way.

Other people like to have options.


I have my choice, and I can understand the choice made by others. Seems though, frankly, that many iFans can't understand this bit at all.

you can have the iphone and have all the options you want, just jailbreak it, imo the iphone out of the box is very standard and nothing special at all it's only jailbroken that you get the full potential of the hardware

I can.

I think if you're the type of person who links 'tinkering' then you'll find Apple's stuff quite restrictive. I hate having to fanny around with software, which is why I like Apple stuff.

tbh, the only people who have an issue with personal choice are the people who, for reasons known only to themselves, have a deranged bitterness towards Apple.

:lol: Oh the irony......have you never seen the countless threads about other phones hijacked by iFans who seemingly think that unless you have an Apple it's an object of ridicule?? Youre as bad as each other, no doubt about it.

I'm writing this on my new iPod touch btw (simless 3GS) while my battery charges on my new phone. I'm finding typing/formatting a lot easier on android I must say but it's personal choice. I told Boris the other week that I may go back to iPhone in future, but to justify the cost of the handset and contract it would have to be market leader in virtually every aspect of a phone, which I just can't see happening.

Should have got an iPhone tbh.
