How about the fact that it is made by Apple and is therefore underspec-ed and overpriced? Good list though, nice and concise.

Agreed. Android is much better better in any given problem. The fact that android is Linux for the most part is alone enough to kick iCrap in the nuts.

But, the apple geniuses marketed the shit right, made it monkey proof, and gave it an above standard user friendliness level. Now they have half a trillion dollars. Maybe we should make something mediocre and market well too.....

Apple creates brilliant products for the new-average mass media consumer, tough i dislike their way of staying in this master place.
Always complaining and getting people in courd who offer the people other things they do not offer, that is pure piracy, making money on forcing a monopoly position.

This is definitely a system that not only caters to mediocrity, but encourages it. Just look at McDonalds.

I would not agree with the camera. While the N8 does have a better camera (Nokia makes really nice phones), the iPhone tends to have better image quality than other smartphones regardless of pixel count. Images are grainier even on higher megapixel cameras.

Big point on not getting an iPhone is #2: Closed OS. You get almost no options for modification and no settings beyond simple notifications and appearances. Every time I use someone's iPhone I get frustrated by the inability to tweak anything worth tweaking.

About the jailbreaking.I think you need to do something very simiral with android to put roms on it,it just has a different name.This is not "allowed" by the companies that sell you the phone either.
One is rooting(getting root acces) , and the other is jailbreaking ,both banned by te companies that fabricate the phone.

There are other products that are better than iphone and less expensive (e.g Galaxy S2)

Please don't call Android Linux...
Android is a variant of linux but if you study it a little more deeper you'll be able to see many differences, from the SDK to the core itself. The fact that is Java and awesomly, still not cross-platform.
Sure Android is great, when compring to winblowz, but honestly, it's a stain in Linux name.

Sorry Phandroids, but iPhone rules. And I don't understand all that rave about Android? Google is masterfully sucking up all your data in their cloud, with you willingly handing it over.

Neither of these system is good in terms of privacy and anonimity, thus leading to me dumping both of them in the near future.

iPhone is a phone. Android is a crappy pocket computer. That's the difference.

lol fanboy. Only know what some news sites post. Very conspiracy-ish eh :D
Google does not collect anything if you don't allow - same with apple crap, so don't go around saying that Android is shit when it pwns iPhone. Also android is not a pocket computer, unless you turn it into one. You couldn't make an iOS like that even if you wanted to!

I root and install a custom ROM on my phone.

I still don't understand why people are still fascinated by Iphone and Apple products in general. Personal choice, Yes. Real comparison with other smart phones, No

I read a news once saying that a few users prefer IPhone to android phones because of the experience. And I also read that a Steve Jobs presentation used to be compared with a religious experience. So many people don't mind paying more because they are caught by all that marketing. At least that is what I think.
