The fact remains that iOS is a quality operating system and Android is the kind of OS that panders to those who probably still have posters on the wall in their bedroom.
I have heard nothing, NOTHING, genuinely nothing, that would make me choose Android over iOS.
Ok so you can put a large clock on your homescreen, so what, are you poorly sighted?
All the things mentioned dont actually make for a better or faster outcome. So you can put a facebook feed on one of your home screens or weather on a home screen. AND? So what! In the time it takes you to swipe to that screen I've opened facebook and check my feed and checked the weather from the notifications menu and made a cup of tea.
Slow slow cluttered cheap looking Android.
I dont care how many Widgets you have or how HD your screen is, because its a phone, I use it when I'm away from home and when I come home I have an iPad or a Laptop or a 42in HD tv.
The fact is, one of the reasons why people keep buying Apple products is because it works well, looks nice and the whole experiece exudes quality, whereas Android does not.
So you can say whatever you want, but iOS sales speak volumes (pun intended!)

Some buy again after the first drop and it certainly adds volume. I've not dropped my smartphone for a while now but if it was an iPhone it would have been in casualty.

I'm genuinely confused. You started a thread talking about poor service on your Samsung Galaxy S2 on this forum, and you replaced it with a Sony Ericsson Android phone, but above you say "I have heard nothing, NOTHING, genuinely nothing, that would make me choose Android over iOS."
So how come you have not one, but 2 Android phones?

Pay careful attention to language, it will serve you well in the future.
I said: "I have heard nothing, NOTHING, genuinely nothing, that would make me choose Android over iOS."
That sentence means, that my preference is iOS.
I could explain why I have Android handsets, but it wouldnt serve to change anything, just know my preference is iOS, I do use Android for things, but as a daily driver, no no no!

Looks quality?
Any phone can break after a drop. Thats why there are so many phones on ebay with broken screens, but to suggest Apple owes its entire sales success to people repeat buying handsets after breaking one is crazy!!

Nah, there is something fishy about you if im honest.
Who in their right mind would spend over £300 on an xperia S like you allegedly did only to bitch and whine like some sort of rancid kid about Android being shit and jerking off over an iphone?
Your either an idiot, which i think is the case, or just a complete troll.

LOL this thread is totally surreal. Even the language being used has long stopped being rational.
Out of interest what would you think about someone spending £500+ on an iPhone 'only to bitch and whine like some sort of rancid kid about' iOS 'being shit and jerking off over an' Android phone. ?
Why can't people just get a bloody phone they are happy with and put an end to all this fanboy nonsense. If you don't like a phone get a different one. What on earth is such a big deal? The way some of you lot go on, a casual observer would be excused from thinking some here are combatting a personal affront to their masculinity - over a flipping phone!

What i don't get is this absolutely irrational behaviour that some fools start when they buy an apple product. Its absolutely bizarre.

Hahaha, so funny!!
What I find odd is that the 2 platforms are very similar, they both have most of the same functionality yet people are so split as to which one is best and apparently the other is "shit".
Really if you are logical and reasoned they are both good but have some differences which appeal to different people.

People are allowed to change their mind you know!
I used to think Android looked like it might be a decent OS. Then I used it, then I changed my mind!:D

uhh dont you own an iPhone?!
Nice with the personal insults by the way. I'm just giving my opinion on an operating system, and you disagree which is fine, but I am most certainly NOT an idiot.
The Android devices are not purchased for personal use.

Of course people can and do often change their minds:)
But the zeal some have trying to convince others that their choice is the right one and everyone should do what they do. Or the choices other folk went for are wrong, isn't constructive IMHO.
Competition is a good thing and good for the consumer as they get devices that continuously strive to improve on those that went before. Things would soon stagnate if everyone used the same (or essentially similar) devices or OS's. The more the merrier and let them keep trying to outdo each other. It's a win win for all.

This is just garbage. I bet you've never even laid a finger on or looked at Android 4.0 because calling it cluttered etc just seems like you know nothing at all about the platform..
Android trumps the iPhone completely when it cones to media playback....you can play virtually every format under the sun on it....the same is not true for the iPhone...
Its your choice whether you pick iOS or not but don't expect sympathy for your ridiculous statements which just make you sound like you're mad that you've been shortchanged by Apple...:)

That is quality stevo is a born again apple user ... what was the vision he had to convert I wonder did SJ come to him in a dream.
Steve do you now believe what you posted previously then below
"I know, its like God decided to share his power and its here on earth in the shape of an iPhone....or at least thats how these iPhone users think"
There you are! Talking of making things up, you never did explain why iCloud was useless...
I wouldn't say its useless. But other than a quicker initial setup using Itunes Match I don't think it offers anything over Google Photos (which doesn't delete your photos after 30 days) and Google Music (which is completely free, and allows streaming, as well as playback in a browser on any system)
There you are! Talking of making things up, you never did explain why iCloud was useless...
Ah yes, the reason for me its useless is:- to backup automatically it needs to be plugged into a power source which annoys me. Its also painfully slow and since its much much quicker just to let itunes do it, to me its pretty much useless.
Comments
I don't think they understand the concept of sharing photos and why having more users is a good thing for them too.

My phones don't break after a drop. No glass, recessed screens = quality design.

My Galaxy Nexus has zero shutter lag. It takes photos pretty much instantly. And before you ask, it's a software feature not a hardware one...;)
