                Winning against all the other companies it would mean that all the following companies like Google, Microsoft, Intel, ARM, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC, Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, Asus, Acer, NEC, Sharp, Toshiba, Dell, Foxconn and all the other 84 companies in the world that form the Open Handset Alliance that develops Android have to go bankrupt.
                Just think about it is it that even possible ? :)

                        What im looking here?

                        What you try to prove with that video? Its slow? Also its very laggy and non responsive, it works very weirdly, sometimes it registering your touch and sometimes not.

                        Look this video: http://youtu.be/FkhidD0Yql4 3-0 for iPhone

                        "Apple growing faster than Android?

                        Really?

                        Who cares what happened years ago? Look this year stats.

                        http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-RU-monthly-201301-201307 clearly iPhone growing faster than android.

                              How about something more than opinion without fact to back it up. The one one time you did try to show facts you had no idea how to read them. Example, that link you provided about Apple vs Android growth...

                              "This shows very different picture, actually iPhone growing faster than android, quite interesting

                              To which you still refuse to answer my response...

                              "Apple growing faster than Android?

                              Really? How did you come to that conclusion?

                              Do you know how to read a graph? Obviously not.

                              The baseline for both Apple and Android on 1 April 2011 was:

                              Apple ios: Approximately 12%
                              Android os: Approximately 12%

                              The last date on the graph, 11 July 2013 the percentages were:

                              Android os: 43.17%
                              Apple ios: 29.28%

                              So explain exactly how Apple has grown faster than Android yet it has a smaller market percentage."

                              So are you going to explain or just report this comment so it will go away?

                                That all you can do is point to the browser not loading a page properly. Really? People here aren't as stupid as you. Most people understand that web pages load only as fast as the internet connection allows the data to be downloaded. "

                                I have heard this same like hundred times, strange how symbian users always had bad connection ;) even if two different phones compared together in same wifi network, strangely the symbian device has slower connection ;) strange, right? :D

                                By the way i didnt say anything about page downloading speed, but well now when you said that, the reason for that is very slow and ancient processor (iPhone 3g used almost same processor 2008) and nokia used that same 2011 FAIL. People here arent that stupid that they dont know why symbian phones are so slow.

                                You do know that, right?

                                No i dont understand why same wifi network can have such different speed for two different phone, if its like you said that only operator speed make the difference ;)


                                Oh wait, same guy who pointed to a graph that showed Apple had less market share than Android and said Apple was growing faster when they both started out with almost exactly the same market share"

                                hint, see the last year. Apple now growing faster than android in russian.

                                Never mind ;)

                                By the way, I had a Nokia X7-00 and the reason I chose it over Android and ios was at the time it beat them both in terms of performance and design."

                                X7? i feel sorry for you :D i didnt even know anyone could buy such a bad phone it was one of the biggest flop in nokia history. X7 beat the performance? Sure... You symbian fans are so hilarious.
