        ...rich in entertainmnt?? hahaha....though battery was poor..resolution also was poor..

              As for the rest on the nonsensical waffle you just spouted, You selling your iPhone for 'a very cheap price' was your loss and someone else's gain!

              I mean out dated CPU???? what on earth are you basing that on??

              And as for no entertainment, please, the widely acknowledged richest mobile ecosystem on the market and you couldn't find sufficient entertainment!

              And it seems to me that your pro Android bias was always going to lead you to the ridiculous conclusion that this article is some kind of joke, so why read it at all????

                Carol, 28 Oct 2015You are right. Also a Mac does not deserve to be called PC,... moreI don't see mac is years behind. I keeps an eye on Macbooks and they are same as PC in term of performance but they are far ahead in term of battery life ( which pc based laptop catching up now ) beside battery. when you buy Macbook you know you get the one of the best keyboard and trackpad. with PC based laptops thats really an issue you spends a heft but you either are disappointed by keyboards or track pad. also high res display on macbooks works very good. on windows things seems small but on Macbooks it feels crisp.

                      AnonD-460538, 29 Oct 2015Great liar... Half of ex-iPhone are switching to Sony...Anyone else reading this see the kind of nonsense that gets posted on here!!!

                      And Sony fans are among the worst offenders, Sony's mobile division has been on shaky ground for several years now, so much so that Sony have at least entertained the motion of selling it off. Now it seems they are looking to at least make a fight of things (and good luck to them here) .

                      However, if half of those switching form the iPhone to Android were going straight to Sony (as you have stated) it would probably be enough to put Sony straight into the number 2 spot right behind Samsung.

                      As we know this is not the case, please justify you remark?????

                              Anonymous, 29 Oct 2015You are wrong totally wrong .........if u haven't got updat... moreYes that kind of flexibility I would call consider a strength android enjoys over iOS.

                              However it's was official support to which I was referring, that's OFFICIAL SUPPORT, I say it twice to make sure you get the point as you quite obviously missed it the first time.

                              Official software support is by far the better option for the majority of smartphone users, and in this regard iOS walks all over Android.

                                And as an individual with long experience of both platforms, I stand by my comment.

                                      Who still uses bluetooth to share anything, are we back in 2005? Not a serious argument.
