A picture truly is worth a thousand words:

That was Nokia’s operating system lol

If Nokia adopted Android from the beginning they woyldn’t have sold their handset business to Microsoft! LOL

[aMorePerfectUnion]

You claimed “dominance.”

I pointed out it was based on one dimension, but didn’t consider profitability - and a chart that didn’t measure total users.

[Jonty30]

Nokia didn’t go with Android, because they didn’t think they could turn a profit by being one android manufacturer amongst many. They gambled on being the primary manufacturer of one of the big three mobile OS.

The same phone but with 4G is 115.89

They have a 13mp rear cam and an 8mp front cam.
Has flash for photos which is nice.

So:

1. You like giving extra money to companies for your products

2. You don’t think that 4+ years of 80% or more of sales doesn’t mean about 80% of the total smartphone market (because, apparently, people keep their phones for longer than 4 years)

Got it!

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Great pic LOL

[aMorePerfectUnion]

1. You like being the product
2. You like one dimensional “proofs”

Got it

Blackberry is poised for a come-back.

Allí those androides are Obama phones! Lol.

[Shanghai Dan]

As far as number 1, don't forget iAds! Apple tried - and failed, miserably - to learn how to raise revenue via advertisement. They just aren't quite as good at it, but rest assured - they're working on it!

[snippy_about_it]

Sorry about that. My Spanish keyboard took over. I was saying all those android phones are Obama phones. Truly, I have to wonder how many are freebies and throw away a for bad guys.

[Shanghai Dan]

Symbian, dude - SYMBIAN!!!!

:)

[wildbill]

CAn you say “Sony Betamax” boys and girls? Good, I knew that you could.

[Bobalu]

This is the DOOGEE Y200

If I had to use the phones and could not sell them I'd take the Y200 over the iPhone6+

$132.37, 4G, 2GB RAM 32GB ROM, user-replaceable 3000mAh battery is 4.88, 13mp/8mp, 5.5" screen HD, dual sim, SD slot

[Bobalu]

OOps, it’s the 59 dollar DOOGEE that has a replaceable batt... the 4G model does not...you would have to get a geek to replace it just like the iPhone.

[Tucker39]

Thanks. I’ll file that for future reference. But the need to change font size on-screen varies from one thread to another, or one page to another. The beauty of Android is that you can enlarge or shrink it, merely by sliding your fingers open or closed, at will.

[AndyTheBear]

That is truly the original “Smart” phone...

[Daffynition]

,,,and I'll bet you were wondering when the first/original screenshot was taken? ;)

[SW6906]

Interesting, I know very, very few people who have Android devices; almost everyone I know has Apple. anecdotal, but interesting.

The beauty of Android is that you can enlarge or shrink it, merely by sliding your fingers open or closed, at will

Yup, I can do that too, just by using two fingers. In fact, I have NEVER adjusted the actual font size. I just use two fingers, to expand the screen size. Later.
