Root + Custom Rom(if carrier or manufacturer does not release updates) + Prayer(vs bricking your device) = just to fight lag?

no. most people have better things to do like go out with friends and enjoy life. sitting infront of your computer trying out custom ROMs and OCing your device does not count as "enjoying life" for most people.

              JELLY BEAN 4.1 smoothness (4.0 was very smooth, but 4.1 is running so fast and lag free totally but most of people don't know that!!!!) try it! ANdroid 4.1 is totally lag free and i can assume that! android 4.1 was made to be the best competitor of wp8 smoothness but most of people did not even tried jellybean because they only hate android i don't know why!
              a fruit will always gone rotten , a robot will always get innovative upgrades , metro ui is so boring with nothing other than android features

Android is the muscle in the mobile world, but power and resource hungry. heavy on needs, but packs a mother of a punch!!! Apple the metrosexual who acts tough and dresses fancy but ultimately a total nancyboy. just look at IOS in a bad way and it screams: "SUE!!!" WinMo up and coming dude that can do some damage but ultimately not as good as the others...yet. Needs some fine tuning and a bit more skills... BB is like a bank clerk, only good in his own environment, but outclassed when in the company of the others...Symbian: Grandpa, can teach you a thing or two but not as good as he used to be back in the day. Android's the big boy and you know it...so don't be nasty...jealousy makes you nasty...!!!

                      realistically speaking - Apple and Samsung both copied from each other and from other companies, but their difference lies in their attitude:

                      Apple - copied from others, but claimed it as theirs
                      Samsung - copied from others, but claimed they never copied anyone

                            Nokia think that Windows 8 will be succesful but with stiff competition from the iPhone 5 an more High Class Android phones on the way,its got to be the Functions on Windows 8 thats going to see if its got any chance,Bluetooth Sending an Recieving,an micro sd cards to improve memory,all the Functions we used to have on Symbian, but Nokia an Mr Elop let Microsoft govern them which is totally wrong when its them who produce the phones,Samsung Galaxy S3 so popular with Screen size an Removable Battery function but will we get this on Windows 8

                                now fixed....like we have heard many times before.
                                Seems to be getting worse really.
                                Games crash on this GPU, store for this GPU only.
                                Buggy this and that.
                                Android is over.
                                Windows Phone 8 is only begining

                                They'll fight it, but end up using tiles soon enough
                                on an OS designed from the start to run smooth.
