... 'Overall U.S. Smartphone Subscribers [that can't update their phones]'. I am really tired of my new full time job trying to maintain my outdated $500 Android phone with is non-functioning GPS. Samsung is a shitty manufacturer. I don't want to run their stupid Kies software... but I did. Samsung Galaxy S is not capable with VM fusion. I don't own Windows native machine. I can't sync my phone, I can't update my phone, It locksup and freezes, the GPS doesn't work, I can't copy and paste, it's filled with bloatware and crapware, and on and on and on. I really can't wait to get my iPhone back. I shouldn't have to void my warranty, invest hours hacking hardware, and risk bricking just to get a working communication device. Just to repeat a recent stat 'Android users running newest version 0.4%. iOS users running the newest version 90%.'

On the flip side, the Nexus updates just fine. You don't even need a computer to do it. Plus, syncing is automatic over the network. No need for itunes. Finally, you dont' have to void your warranty and risk bricking it just to get functionality like wireless hotspots, non-market app installation, carrier unlocks, and new system components and UIs.

  Yes I know. I gave my N1 to my boyfriend when I 'upgraded' to the 'more advanced' phone. The majority of phone are like my galaxy S not the N1. The environment seems to have a very deep flaw. Yet there are a bunch of diehards that cling to the N1 and NS model as the representative of the majority. Then there are the bunch that believe it's ideal to buy your phone then immediately flash it with a hacked together unfinished mods running unofficial kernels that guzzle battery and lockup like grandma's bowls.

Wow... if you have had that many complaints maybe you should have returned it and moved on. Or just eBay and get a different phone. >Just to repeat a recent stat 'Android users running newest version 0.4%. iOS users running the newest version 90%.' Uhh, what? Reference? The real stats beg to differ. http://insights.chitika.com/2011/61-of-ipads-already-running-ios-4-january-ios-and-android-os-breakdown/ http://insights.chitika.com/2011/61-of-ipads-already-running... I usually hate to call people trolls but I am not sure you aren't one.
