This is absolutely my #1 complaint about android after going from an iPhone to a nexus one. Even though the hardware is probably 4x more powerful than my old iPhone, the scrolling still manages to be significantly slower and less accurate. With the iPhone the illusion is complete - that your finger is connected to something physical that you can move effortlessly. With android you are acutely aware that you are working with a rough approximation of something physical. It may or may not behave as you intend.
- thristian 16y agoI assume Apple got there first and filed as many patents as they could.
- bad_user 16y agoThat hasn't stopped Google from adding multi-touch. Another thing that bothers me is that many (expensive) phones feel like being made from cheap plastic. So I'm inclined to believe that many phone makers are just clueless imitators.
- hvs 16y agoThe Samsung Captivate (AT&T's Galaxy S) is very well made and still very thin.
- moe 16y agoAnother thing that bothers me is that many (expensive) phones feel like being made from cheap plastic. That's because they are made from cheap plastic. I'd really love to know why on earth they don't use better materials on all of their high-end phones. I mean, sometimes they get it right and use a nice rubberized material. And then they blow it again, like on the Galaxy S where the plastic back-over is a harsh insult to the otherwise excellent hardware. Is that rubberized plastic really so much more expensive? You don't need to reach to the expensive glass or metal to make a phone feel less like a kids toy!
- GiraffeNecktie 16y agoI don't understand why they make phones like the Samsung Captivate out of slippery smooth plastic. Phones are for holding not for squirting out like a bar of soap.
