Ah, thanks for the clarification. Oh, wait, you don't know shit.

Does it have Swype? Worthless if no.

and still no NFC...

It's always worthwhile to point out a falsehood. It could have been unintentional on your part; apparently it was just fanboi.

Please list for me my specific acquaintances who are happy with their Android phones, then those who are not. Thanks.

I've been contemplating a switch to Android, and have talked to a good number of owners. I'm far from a fanboi.

Apple says you don't need it so you don't.

Gerard, Lance and Seth hate them and are oh so miffed their asshole dads forced them to use Android.

All of your hetero friends couldn't be happier with their Androids.

Pretty bad when the most exciting thing is redesigned earbuds.... err... earpods.

Lightning!

And, for the love of god, why can we not call the "new iPad" the iPad 3, but we have the iPhone 5?

Hopefully they release an adapter so my earpods will fit in my ears, which are accustomed to the old earbuds.

Anyone want to sell me their AT&T Iphone 4s now that it is outdated?

It's not a bad update; it's just boring. I thought the S III announcement was boring too. Everyone is struggling to innovate right now. Phones have become boring again.

I was hoping for a bigger screen, so I will probably switch to the Note in December when I'm eligible for an upgrade.
