Having the ability to customise may not necessarily be a good thing. In a busy life a lot of the time you just want an OS and phone that just works. The lack of uniformity in Android developers and having to tinker too much can sometimes be a hindrance.

As for battery life, it is also different for everyone. Some people stay in areas with exceptional reception with their carrier for the majority of the day but some people may be in low signal areas a lot and hence have bad battery life. For me, the many Android phones I’ve tried never last as long as any of my iPhones.

Still would love to get the perfect Android phone and OS version. Maybe one of this years phones with Key Lime Pie???

I am sorry, but when was this every about the developers, and how much they make? It is about user experience.

YEAH MY ONE S HAD GREAT BATT AS DID MY EVO LTE

That’s really the most powerful argument for Android. What does the device do for me. Android beats iOS in that fight all day long. Especially the Galaxy Note 2. It’s much more useful than other smartphones, particularly iOS.

Funny, when I pick up most Android devices they feel outdated to me – sure the screen is busier and there are more “features”, but the response and overall performance/feel of the OS makes is seem like the hardware is a lot weaker than it is on paper. Going back to Safari alone on iOS is like a breath of fresh air – hey look, the screen actually responds to fast swiping and resizing.

You’re making the same point though. How much money someone makes on which device is as unimportant as simple raw numbers of devices sold, unless it directly translates to things like software developer interest, 3rd party accessory interest, etc. Fine to want a larger screen of course. But the original point was that Apple isn’t “in trouble” just because more devices sold happen to boot up into one of the many versions of “Android”.

Okay, I’m neutral in all of this, but if you want to talk about who stole what, Android was a straight ripoff when Schmidt was on Apple’s board. Android was revamped from being like Blackberry to being like the iPhone overnight, when Schmidt saw the prototype.

I don’t care who makes how much money from what device. I care what the device does for me. I have an iPhone 4 that I’m about to upgrade. I want a larger screen and if Apple doesn’t deliver, I’m looking elsewhere. Apparently, I’m not the only one who feels that way.

Saying something with no facts to back it up because youre upset i said that apple sales are down for the iphone 5 is the acts of an “immature teenage boy”

t-mobile is good for me, but then again im in NYC, i heard it blows outside of major metropolitan areas….I might get a Note 2 eventually…Plus the One S’s battery is fine, why would you return a phone because of the battery ? did you actually think it was a defect ?? and really battery life is bad in most phones in general, not just HTC. The note 2 has a bigger battery so of course it lasts longer.

Marketshare doe not matter.

You are very wrong about that. You also sound like a particularly immature teenage boy.

Apple reports units sold. Sold to actual people. They also report their profits. Samsung reports units shipped, many of which are sitting in warehouses and they won’t say what their profit from mobile devices is.

Kids say things like iSheep. Run along now.

Users don’t matter when every Android manufacturer except Samsung is losing money. Lots of money.
Android sells in large numbers due to cost. Yet Android developers make a tiny percentage of iOS developers and users don’t use their phones nearly as much. This is why Google makes more money from iOS users than all those Android users.

Market share is meaningless sans profits.

And let’s not forget about a gigantic slice of Key Lime Pie….

And if they can do that for the same price as my Nexus 4… I’ll be in line along with all the android crazies!

An improved screen, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and their shiny new octa-core chip would work for me… 🙂

I’m not a white dude with skinny a$$ leg. I used to play soccer and worked them out. I also have a big ass to be a man :p yet I still manage to wear skinny levis and CK jeans.

I’ve been on both sides. I rock a Note 2 (and a Nexus 4) for my phones and don’t really see me going back to iOS for the phone purpose, but having used the Nexus 7 (and various other tablets) I’ve stuck with the iPad Mini and don’t see me switching to Android for tablet use. The only Android tablet I’m even considering in the near future is the Note 8.0 – Simply for the S-Pen because there’s no iOS stylus that even comes close to the S-Pen.

I’ve played the heck out of NFS Most Wanted. Still bummed out they didn’t include the open world. But I’m with you on the gaps. RR2 would be stellar on the Note 2!

Skinny jeans… but bulky legs? Is such a thing possible?!
