I'm not sure how to perceive any of your Android rants. Only that you seem to have some pretty rickety phones down in Uganda, because the droid phones in Sweden sure as hell do not suck anywhere near the way you describe it.
Oh, and many complaints I hear from you all are easily remedied with installing a different app. That's the whole *point* with Android. Don't like the standard text messaging app? Install a better one! Don't like the keyboard? Install another one! You completely missing the point does not make Android suck. Android is not iOS. The Apple devices deliver an out-of-the-box experience at the cost of killing customisation capabilities. Android is 100%* customisable. As a side effect, the default apps naturally suck, to varying degrees. Geez, am I really on the Linux User Group mailing list? Because you all sound like the Windows Luser Group or something. Where's your spirit of open source? Of coding? Of hacking? *(Yes, 100%; you could even throw out Android completely and install Debian or Ångström or any other ARM-supporting Linux distribution, and Android wouldn't even try to stop you. You'd probably have a hard time with device drivers, but the point is Android doesn't try to prevent you out of spite, whereas you would have to jailbreak an Apple device before being able to do anything useful on it.) -- Skickat från min Android-telefon med K-9 E-post.
