Heh, classic trolling! I love bait ... you just don't get that tame domestic flavor from the gamey meat you find in the wild. I've been quite happy with my Google Nexus, made by Samsung. And I was previously satsified, approaching, though not achieving happiness with my Motorola Droid 2 Global. I used Verizon stock, Liberty ROM, and Cyanogenmod on my D2G. I've used Google stock, Cyanogenmod and AOKP on my Gnex. In the process of all this, I've learned quite a bit about linux and Java, and some tiny bits about odd things like phone radios, wifi, GUI real estate, lcd and oled displays, etc. When we were developing our iPhone app, I learned a tiny bit about the way apple manages/exposes its development APIs ... and a WHOLE LOT about the fascist control they wanted to establish/preserve over the iphone market. [grin] So, I can certainly see why someone would want to buy either the iPhone or an android phone. You can learn from either device. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
