android is both a success and a failure. i used to be a huge android fannoi before switching to iphone. even for a highly technical person, maintaining an android phone is too much.

Maintaining? What sorts of difficult maintenance tasks are you having to do on your phone that I've apparently been missing out on?

[mirceal → gizmo385]

security updates? nah

upgrading to new releases? nah

consistent look and feel? not on my watch!

it just works? madness...

[fwip → mirceal]

I press "okay" when my phone tells me I have an update.

That's it.

breaking news: you are probably running an outdated (ie insecure) version of android

[fwip → mirceal]

I get monthly security updates from my phone manufacturer, actually.
