I'll probably get down voted for saying this but that's one of the reasons I'm jumping off the Android ship this year, and, no, I'm no aApple fanboy.

I've had the original Nexus, Nexus One, Nexus S and wanted to buy the G Nexus but if google/samsung are willing to put a device that can't function under normal operating environment, then they shouldn't have done at it all.

See, with the iPhone (4S), I know Apple would never put out a device like this. It might not have things like a notification LED that blinks when u have a message, but the thing is bullet proof -- it just works.

The mentality is certainly different. I want a finished product, and not be a beta tester for a company.

It's no accident Apple sticks to their time-proven design: small 3.5" screen, no LTE, etc.

And as I get more busy with my life (business, etc), I could careless about the "openness" of the Android platform--it's not like I'll be compiling ROMs all day.

I just want something that works and won't let me down in the 11th hour and with Apple I know that won't happen.
