And you think that is a good situation for Android users? Want the new OS, buy a new phone without a subsidy. That is one hell of a tag line for Android

- technomancy 14y agoThat's what you get for trusting your carrier. Luckily you can get Android devices that you have control over yourself.
- dllthomas 14y ago> Luckily you can get Android devices that you have control over yourself. Forgive me for asking something that some googling could answer, but... is there a good such device (sans rooting) that has a keyboard?
- brazzy 14y agoI am using the Xperia Pro from Sony, am very happy with it. Bought it unbranded and unlocked, has a great hardware keyboard, and was updated to ICS two weeks ago. The only downside is the rather small amount of builtin memory.
- jshen 14y agoThis is true, but that is my point. Most people don't want control, they want a phone that does the latest and greatest. This makes the iphone a much better choice for most, including myself.
- technomancy 14y agoIsn't that just another way of saying most people don't think through the long-term consequences of their choices?
- tadfisher 14y agoWant Siri? Buy the iPhone 4S without a subsidy. Sure worked for Apple...
- ryanhuff 14y agoYou know perfectly well that Apple handles this issue much better than the Android stakeholders. And I am an Android user.
