This quote of yours:
"Once again the cult view that anything without an Apple sticker is inferior." (my emphasis)
"Best selection of aps... yeah, as long as they're dictated by Apple. How long before the gay mafia gets the Catholic Confession ap banned?"
Wow...you are all over the place. How 'bout...never?
Anyhow, more on this below.
As Sword pointed out, your "reasns" don't hold water. Even the bigger screen is specious, since the iPhone's screen resolution is superior. I use reading glasses for a mild magnification and that works out great. =:-D
Plus, of course, I have a lighter and more compact phone to carry around.
Second, it is completely legal to unlock the iPhone and experience the wild and wooly unrestricted app experience of Android. The iPhone once again offers more.
I will accept your complete and unconditional surrender at this point. ;-)
No surrender. I’m enjoying my rooted, wifi tethered Droid X with custom ROM just fine. :)
