      Android increase just because a lot of choice. Innovation is less, only motorola z module, fujitsu arrows iris sensor last year, others android only increase clock speed & camera. The rest is boring, hopefully firefox OS & linux growth faster

              And yet every single manufacturer feels obligated to follow Apple's ridiculous policies. How F****d up is that? Don't you get it? We don't want iPhones. The minority that does, will buy an actual iPhone.

                    The high end Android phones are much more than high end iPhones(if we can call iPhone7 and iOS 'high end' lol)
                    The only thing left to brag about, is opening the games(made for iOS) faster, iboy.
                    So hide somewhere, and calm down.

                        Nothing to be proud about. Just like people buying tissue paper, use once and throw.

I used it for a few hours and I threw it in a drawer. It's still there, gathering dust and wasting precious drawer space.
                                        That's how much it impressed me..
                                        I'm thinking about a cool way of putting an end to it's misery :)) Any suggestions? :D
