Finally ? People with a brain

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

Exactly ? I never understood what is so special about iphone. It's a piece of crap

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.

But it works none the less.

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.

But it works none the less.

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

I was talking about the marketing, not the device.

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.
