(297 posts)I have owned at least half a dozen android phones a Samsung galaxy, HtC One, Lg touch, a pantec that I really liked . They all had one thing in common. They were unreliable, and the android market has some very peculiar terms of use that you must agree to, to use them. One big data mining network if you ask me. I also always felt like I was nothing but a beta tester. After a short period android phones are hard to give away, as they hold no value.
I have ended up going back to an iPhone. I sold my almost four year old iPhone original for 175 bucks. I call that holding value. The thing to remember with an iPhone is Apple controls the hardware, and the software. They are one cohesive piece of equipment. Meaning there are very few problems.
Android is an open market and the hardware varies from manufacture to manufacture phone to phone. A lot of androids I owned were not upgradeable. And in closing do you really think an operating system that is based on candy names is really serious.
I wish I had more time to offer some more info/opinion here but I have to run.
