[deleted post]Buying smartphone is about compromises, there isn't same perfect smartphone for everyone, So it's kind a stupid say things like you just did. Do i want phone with limitations which really isn't even big thing at all, or do i wanna very fragmented Android with viruses and malware which apps are different league compared appstore, i could continue this long time but my point is, there's many reasons to buy iPhone just like there is reasons to buy android phone or wp7 phone or which you prefer.

Also if you want Flash for your iPhone you have four different browsers to support it. I have puffin browser, interesting how rarely i use it, not really :)

    HTML5 has proved be as fast as a thunder......and this depends on what platform you will use it..

    From my humble point of view my best navigation experience has been with iOS. And even MeeGO is very very fast leaving Android in just a "good experience"

    But are just my two cents...

I haven't never seen laggy or slow html5 video, but i have seen so many slow Flash videos. i dont know what your source is, but yes Apple plays html5 videos.

          Even Safari, BOLT, Opera Mobile among other browsers are not using Flash in order to preserve battery draining and other problems around.... however I will not see this on some more time, maybe or maybe not HTML5 will push new developers and technology BUT is a fact Flash is getting fat and greedy....

            "Safari wouldn't play HTML5 videos, so there was no way to test that. However, Flash 10.0 used 23.22% CPU but Flash 10.1 only used 7.43% CPU"

              HTML5 is not just an dying platform, is just something that don't depend on Adobe....but is hard argue with people on closed mind :P

              However I didn't say Flash is not used, but is a real battery sucker among other problems around flash (that's why not too much mobile browsers support it) and many platforms (OS) are start getting HTML5 (and others used for years) instead getting dependence on Adobe....and believe me the dependence is so hard as a drug, you need a frequent updates over Flash, and not like on HTML5...to much people feels sad with that...

                  How can i take this to be an evidence its posted in HTML5 website i need a neutral site to talk about HTML5, Its like i give you a link from Flash website proves Flash is the future
                  I hope everyone reads the article but sorry its a joke! There is one HTML OS and failed "WebOS" and was not the future and that article points on HTML5 domination which is not nearly to be true! HTML5 doesn't control 1% of the OS market! And the article goes on how they will do that and that ... Just talk no act at all! From the date of the article until today 4 months went nothing of what the article mentioned happened!

                    But you can research a lot...Many developers are looking not to nice Flash...and they are opting for a more speedy and stable HMTL5 :D

                    Flash is just an archaic and in decadence....

                          I just don't get this super-expensive device which only has one notable feature: screen resolution. I don't get why its so expensive when its nearly identical in features to SGS II. I expected to be cheaper than SGSII since it has no custom UI, 5mp camera. Or around same price.
                          New version of so-called "free" operating system? Err... if its "free", why should I pay premium for it?

                          Hopefully GSMArena does a review of Xiaomi phone (or whatever the name is, $310 dual-core china-made phone).

                            If you have noticed the trend of Nexus devices, they were not the top of the line Androids. This was expected with the Galaxy Nexus.

                              It felt very cool and something new what we haven't seen before it had WOW factory, then we saw the real thing which was total disappointment.
