I realise that I'm likely to get shot down here...
I had an Android phone for nearly five years before jumping ship to the iPhone 5s in November, and I have to say, I absolutely love it.
With the rise of Android tablets, my need for a customisable phone diminished. I just wanted something that worked well and was reliable, and I have to say, ti's a wonderful piece of kit.
Five years ago, I was a massive Apple sceptic, and saw Google as the paragon of virtue. It is arguably the other way around nowadays. Google cannot be trusted with any of your data anymore, since they make money by selling and exploiting it. On the other hand, Apple are expensive for a reason, and don't need to use such underhand tactics.
I dropped my Blackberry at a Kaiser Chiefs concert (during one of the jumpy bits) at the Hammersmith Apollo.
I expected never to see it again, but had a quick look round at the end. To my amazement, I found it in a corner, underneath a pile of beer cans, and all that was wrong with it was that it had got a bit dirty. Now that's workmanship.
I dunno if anyone already suggested this (or even if it's still the case) but the only way to trash a Blackberry and get it back to its default settings is to get the password wrong ten times.
It really is an insight into how thick some people must be, in that after the fifth attempt, it stops hiding the password, and it still gives you another five tries at getting it right.

You're damn right
