why should people care which one is the best, both has its pros and cons, and its up to consumers to decide.. im happy to have more choices, and its good to see iphone getting better as well.. and that is also because of the competition in the market, the emergence of android gave apple the push they needed.. so at the end of the day, we, the consumers are the winners..
RIGHT ON the head !!! I always want choice - the more the better. Now we have the iphone, Windows, Symbian, Android, Blackberry etc - each platform meets different needs. Each has its pro and cons. And is downright unpleasant to impose one's opinion on others, worse of all degrade other non-Apple users, insult non-Apple users. The money belong to me , NO ONE has the right to tell me which is the best and what to buy. I buy what meet my needs. I will listen to all opinions and I do not accept the thinking that only one platform is the best
You can see from my signature, I owe a variety of gadgets. I do not go round praising or condemning any either. Each of it meets my different needs.
On desktop - my main is the MAC but that does not mean Windows is not good enough. I still use Windows for several tasks the MAC is poor in. Oh How I wish I can just have a one perfect PC with the best of both MAC and Windows. Similarly to smartphones, for me there is now no one perfect or best smartphone which meet all my needs. For any smartphone, one can list out a "have-nots" of a competitor and similarly a competing platform can list out their "have-nots" of the contender. The benefit of it is , we consumers has a choice
For those on a budget and can limit to buy only one smartphone, my advise is always this and very simple. LOOK at your own needs, look at the 80% things that you would like to perform on the phone , and your decision is easy. DO not be sway by salesman talk - every salesman will promote the positive aspects of their product. Good salesman will emphasize the PLUS points ; bad salesman will emphasis the NEGATIVES of the competitors. Listen to all parties and decide based on your needs , after all is your hard earn money
Many of my friends knows I love and spend money on gadgets. So I am always ask which is the best. I always give same answer: The best is what meet most of your needs and you are happy using it and is within your budget. If they cannot decide I will just ask what are their needs and I'll recommend them the appropriate one based on his budget
