It's funny that I always see so much hatred towards Apple, but not all that much from Apple-fans towards Android. Apparently people don't get the whole live and let live. Use what OS you like best and move the hell on with life.
If you don't like the iPhone and iOS, why bother bitching about what Apple does or doesn't include? Unless you have stock in the company, your bitching is just, well, bitching for the sake of bitching.
I think Apple fans see the light and fortunately the majority of the world sees it that way too. People walk around with a gothic look. They swear up an down that black lipstick, black pants, black shirt, silver studs, looks good. You ever seen anyone who is highly respected wear that crap? No, yet every day people put that stuff on thinking they look good. Those are the Android fans. Apple fans wear khaki's and polo's. They are normal. You can say it's subjective, I say it's common sense.
Agreed! that's why the iPhone 5 is more of a tweaked from the iPhone 4S instead of bringing something "new" to the table w/ the phone.
It's harder to type on the Galaxy S2's screen than the iPod Touch. My thumbs really have to stretch. I can't even imagine what it's like to type on the S3 which has an even bigger screen, although if I were an older person with bad eyesight, the S2 would actually be a better choice because it displays everything in bigger size.
If you compared Galaxy S3, Windows Phone 8, and the new iPhone 5 head to head, the iPhone 5 would wow you with it's fast processing power, increased screen resolution (larger ppi), bigger app store, useful apps like Passport, and other features. It is designed to be sleak and light but strong. The Galaxy S3 feels plasticky compared to iPhone 5.
Just ordered the new iPod Touch. Email says it delivers within 5 days after shipping. Looking forward to the new features.

But not sure how you mean Windows Phone is hard to use. It is different than anything else, yes, but not hard in the SLIGHTEST. To open Facebook on my wife's phone I have to know specifically what page of her home screen it was on, and then what folder on that page. To open Facebook on a Windows Phone, if it isn't already pinned to your start screen, you just swipe to the apps and quick key to the F's. It is the same process no matter what, never any searching.
I have a 4" screen on my phone. it isn't HARD to type, but you have to learn a different way to do it. I could not type with my thumbs for the life of me, so I flip the phone to landscape, and type with my index fingers. You get a much better reach, you are much more accurate with your fingers than your thumbs, and can type much faster. Also, with the bigger screens come bigger keyboards and thus bigger keys. The odds you hit the correct key when you are aiming for a dot that is 50x50 pixels is much better than when it is 30x30.
An iPhone 5 would win a spec war with a phone when you 1) can't compare the processor since they use something completely different and you can't really test software efficiency besides doing a "feels better" test. 2) a SMALLER ppi on a SMALLER screen than its competition (Lumia 920, WP8). 3) Have me on the app store, for now. 4) Passport, just like Wallet software that all the OS's have? And 5) It is sleek and light, until people throw their 5 gram otterbox onto it!!! Haven't had one in hand yet, but I would put money down that says the Lumia won't feel cheap and will actually be smaller than the iPhone once everyone throws a huge case onto it.

I am the current owner of HTC Radar (Windows Phone 7), a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android with ICS installed), and iPod Touch (4th (and latest) generation with iOS 5 installed). The iPod Touch is the one I use when I'm at home. The Galaxy S2's screen looks like crap compared with both the Windows Phone and the iPod Touch. I even did a screen comparison tonite with the screen brightness boosted to high with all 3 of them. Windows Phone is hard to use, although the colors are remarkably accurate, even more so than the retina screen on the iPod Touch.

Between work and other friends, I could easily count maybe 20 people that own an iPhone. ONE of them doesn't have it in a case. ONE. Thinking about it...It is also the only GUY that I can think of that currently owns one...so...0% of women buy an Apple for the slim phone size and 100% of guys do. I'd say that isn't the best sample size.
