        DROID23, 15 Mar 2015lol...your comment is a waste of time, remember the last iO... moreHave you seen how many software updates iOS has had since iOS 8 launch? People usually wait less than 3 months between regular updates, and serious bugs get a fix almost immediately.

        Sorry, but if Apple is good at one thing it's keeping its platform up-to-date.

        We all have to admit that every OS WILL have bugs, especially after years of development and feature additions. Software developers are people, and when an OS grows big, it's prone to more mistakes.

        But how quickly someone deals with the bugs is what differentiates the platforms.

My dad uses the Lumia 920, and aside from the build quality and amazing camera, the Windows experience is CRAP. It's more limited than iOS even but doesn't provide the software features that one would expect to find on a phone like this.

          Between Windows, iOS and Android, I find iOS right in between the others. Enough features and stellar usability.

          Android is too rich IMHO, Windows not rich enough and too simple.

            Ayush01, 16 Mar 2015Yet no real multitasking, apps not up to the level of andro... moreMannn. I've been using android for 4 & half years, constantly (yeah, constantly, like daily driver) used CyanogenMod with latest android for last 3 years on Samsung & LG phones. About 2 months ago, I bought a new Nokia Lumia 635 for $49. Using 2 phones for last 2 months. One is LG G Pro with CM12 crap, other is WP 8.1. Even as a diehard android fan, I'm in love with windows phone interface. Yeah, their store is a bummer, but the experience, battery life & camera.... MINDBLOWING. Only a high end android phone with latest software can compete with the consistency of the Lumia 635! Yeah, LG G Pro (e980) with 2GB RAM is not high end enough! Shame on google.

              That's why the best current version of Lollipop is 5.0.2.
              Probably most of the manufactures will stick to it for a while, coz 5.0/5.0.1 were bad, filled with bugs. Then 5.1 came to some of the Nexuses and it kinda fixed lots of stuff, but it seems it also introduced new ones.

              Oh well, stick to 4.4.x or 5.0.2 and you should be fine for now.

                          Update 5.1 fixes a bug from 5.0.1 ?
                          Am i missing something ?

                          Because i have 5.0.2 on moto G and this issue does not occur to me.

                          5.0.2 is working better and faster than 4.4.4.
