Thread: Apple losses are Google gains

To continue the "obscure" statistic topic, Android passed iOS (but is still behind
Symbian) as a smartphone OS of choice in European member-countries of G7.

Unlike most of the other (just as "obscure") statistic, this covers the installed base,
not sold in the last 3-6-12 months - and that is the reason Symbian is still ahead of the pack.

My biggest gripe about Android is OS updates. I understand why it's like it is but it's annoying. Plus from what I have seen the hardware isn't supported nearly as long as Apple does with the iPhone. For instance the EVO 4G was released last June and Sprint has said it will end of life it next month.

They both have their plusses and minuses.

Of course they do...

Just start with a non-subsidized phone and stay one step below the bleeding edge - you won't have any problems...

My Nexus One runs for 18 months, from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread, and I have no complaints.
Galaxy S II (from UK) is the best phone I've used, 5-min unlock.

EDIT:
You have to buy Samsung phones in the UK - the only market Samsung is losing to HTC and therefore not charging Apple prices...
