Crippled? You can get the international version just fine. Amazon has it for sure.
If by crippled you mean waiting on carriers for upgrades the Lumia will not fix that. They have already announced that WinPhone 7 folks are not getting WinPhone 8. What do you think they will do with WinPhone 9?
My D1 is running ICS right now, and will be running JB soon enough.
Well, that is what I get for trusting Wikipedia it said AMOLED.
How is it impressive? Compare to an S3 or a One X.
The Lumia CPU is outdated, and the screen is AMOLED. So if you think Super AMOLED is not for you neither is this.
I love my Galaxy Nexus, but if I had to make the same decision now I would not get it. At the time it was a great device, but the S3 or OneX or the Xperia are better choices these days. The first two if you will do your own updates the latter if not.
Drive you mad? Needing another key press to swap is the whole point. You run with the knife select the M4 and switch when you get there or Galil if you are a T.
Interesting, how do they do force feedback? Ideally such a system would need to not let you just overpower the force feedback mechanism as that would mean joystick position would not reflect reality.
The D1 can be clocked far higher than a 3GS, the D1 can run a stripped version of Android, the D1 can have swap enabled or other such tricks. Yes, testing after overclocking is needed.
To not include those is just apple fanboism. These are real advantages that I use. An open OS has these advantages.
We are not at the limits of human vision. I am human and can see the pixels on an iPhone4S. I can see the difference on 3.5" screens. Hopefully, the iPhone5 will be a little larger though. I think you need a visit to the eye doctor not named jobs.
Not at all. The walled garden merely means that any app needs to not be evil while being tested. This is trivial to do. If asked however Apple would cooperate.
The normal facebook app yes, the one that comes packaged with so many android phones out of the box would not.
Not true. Some regulation limits government, like police may not just search your house at random. This is the kind of thing I am proposing. The end result would just be such evidence could never be used in court and at that point existing administrative actions could be taken against those who collected it.
No the droid 3 is not a successor either. It is also a locked down mediocre device. There is no motorola equivalent.
Apple is not months behind they are now at least a year behind. The point is a 3GS is slower than a D1.
I doubt the iPhone5 will have a 1920x1280 screen, but that would be great. The point I was making is the current iPhone screen is a relic and badly needs to be updated. The DPI should hopefully at least stay the same, but the device will be slightly larger.

There is lots of testing, people have been doing this with desktop CPUs for years.
We are talking about a phone here, not the computer in charge of launching the nukes. If it becomes unreliable clock it down, not a major risk.
Have you never overclocked a desktop CPU?
That is getting it.
The fact that it took testing to prove what should have been expected is the sad part.
How is it impressive?

Absolutely.
You do not have to, but you sure as hell should to make your life easier.
You don't have to put a serial on them unless you are selling them.
The New Sony Xperia S is now supported by AOSP.
Expect there to be nexus phones from most of the major players within the next 6 months.
Even a middling android device has nicer hardware than the current iPhone or these new windows phones these days.

How is this different than fields of wheat or corn?
Do they not have any process to prevent competition?
Why does that matter?
Do you think they are monitoring the access point?
MAC addresses don't get sent beyond the broadcast domain.
Sorry I left out the not.
Should have been:
I am pretty sure he meant have a couple beers, not funnel rotgut until you can't stand.
Why does going to the pub mean getting drunk?

Good for you not drinking, no one cares nor asked about it.

I have yet to see evidence pointing to any other possibility. Do you also believe in leprechauns or unicorns?
I am not certain it is true, it just appears to be so far.

Install CM or an app that lets you block permissions you do not like. You will need to root of course.
There are 1 million terrorist or criminal iPhone users?
Does that not seem high?
Not true. Some regulation limits government, like police may not just search your house at random. This is the kind of thing I am proposing. The end result would just be such evidence could never be used in court and at that point existing administrative actions could be taken against those who collected it.
Grade B is something I just don't like.
By garbage I mean the totally black tar like stuff we sold to log cabin and their ilk.
Permitted?
How can they do anything about it?
I have linux running on a macbook air and I have seen android on a 3GS.
Yes, much like we have government rules limiting what the police can do.
Regulation does not imply a more powerful government, it can be done with the same level of power it has now.
No one goes to heaven, it does not exist. They act amorally, since that is what the people who make them up do.
Even that stuff tastes like a glass of water mixed with a shot of beer.
I am not talking about ABV or ABW, but the total lack of flavor. It tastes like a glass of water mixed with a shot of beer.
