> Android, which everyone has come to know and love.

Haha, honestly now. If my Android didn't cost $700 I would long since have smashed it to bits. It's scheduler is totally garbage, to the point where Google's own media apps like YouTube and Music drop samples while the screen is redrawing. Who "loves" Android? To me it is the Win98 of mobile operating systems.

When you only have two real choices, each with their own significant set of distinct problems, I think the term "love" can be substituted for "hate the least". Android, which everyone has come to know and hate the least. Well, not everyone, but my point is the same regardless.

I left Symbian for Android 2.1, after several Android devices, became part of the 10% of WP share in Europe, now still using one of them as secondary device.

Android has been pretty solid for me. I'm on my second Android device, this one cost me like $150 or so.

I've never had a higher-end phone, so I'm not missing anything with the mid-range. Web works great, as do most apps.

That's a turn of phrase to indicate that not everyone loves, but it _is_ well known and probably the biggest consumer OS on the planet in terms of volume.

Also though, I do love it. Different strokes and all
