time to bitch about Android.

I hit my head on the way out of the bathroom hard enough to bleed slightly. So, after applying a bandaid, I think it's time to bitch about phone OSes

My only concern with a telephone is does it make the damned call I want to make, period.

[taiki]

having a phone that's a phone is fine.

Don't try to sell me a phone that's also a million other things if the software sucks so bad i can't use any of it.

But what I don't understand is why would you need all that shit in the first place if you want a PHONE.

[taiki]

Because I like having all that stuff on a thing i carry around with me. Plus phone cellular networks have pretty fast data networks attached to them. I like being able to browse the internet while I'm on a train, or waiting in the doctor's office.

...Am I the only one who reads in situations like that anymore?

Fuck it, I'm just old. Don't mind me.

I can't carry around a novel in my pocket. o_o

[mature]

No, but wouldn't you carry it in your purse? :P

[taiki]

if i'm carrying a purse I might as well carry around my laptop,my psp, my ds, my neogeo pocket color, my pog collection and the latest copy of the New York Post.

Fine, I give up. I don't understand all this electronics e-peen waving, having to have everything in one tiny thing with text so small you need a damned magnifying glass to read it.

I'll just be over here watching liver spots form on my hands.

[taiki]

this isn't about epeen waving, this is about having an opinion on a technical subject.

I really don't care what anyone buys, I just think Android as a phone OS has serious problems. It's not like I'm calling Android users baby killers or that iPhone owners are God's chosen people.

And I'm saying why the fuck does all that shit need to be on a phone, that's all. I don't get it, so I'll just take my Luddite ass out of this now.

Cellular voice networks have more in common with WiFi than they do with land line telephone services. Voice is just another set of data. If I can get work outage notifications or directions to a gang bang on a little thing I have in my pocket, I want it to do that.
