    Maybe you should get your head on straight. An emoticon doesn't clearly state your emotional state. Sorry dude. As he said, there are plenty of Android phones that are just as expensive as an iPhone.

    Are you fucking kidding me? You actually want to escalate my comments into some sort of flame war. You definitely are lame... and on ignore.

    Android does a lot of things, none of it well.

    iOS does fewer things, but does it all with polished smoothness.



    I say, go and get your Android phone. You're not the market Apple is after. May even sting a bit to hear that, but that's the truth and no disrespect intended. For everyone else, lets keep it simple like our lives should be.

    Myself, I find it amusing when Google fanboys go to the trouble of registering on an Apple-centric discussion site so they can wave their tiny dick around. It speaks of the confidence and ease they have around their choices.

    I find it funny how easy it is to bring them out in the open...

    They could do that, but that's even edgier an edge case, because it only solves one problem. For the number of people who need that feature it's just not worth developing at this stage as an OS level feature.



    4G which was the other part of your request appears to be a horrible battery drain right now with available chipsets. Apple isn't going to be supporting it for the small number of people who need the bandwidth and live in a place with good 4G if it gimps everybody else.

    No way in hell are there that many Symbian smartphones in the world. Everyone in Europe would have to have two high-end Nokia phones on their nightstand for these numbers to be true.



    Nokia's biggest market is Asia (population: 3.9 billion), not Europe (population: 0.73 billion).



    Remember that smartphones aren't just high-end phone these days. You can pick up an Android phone without a contract for $60 in Europe.

    If you are referring to me, I own two MacBook pro's, two minis and an iPad. I am hardly a Google fan boy or an Apple fan boy for that matter.... I tend to think for myself and do not simply parrot Steve Jobs......
