Apple are WAAAAAAAY Overated. Their products are overpriced ( 1000 Euro for Mac book pro versus an 500-600 for equavilent windows Laptop). A sim free Iphone 4 is ~579 Euro for top of the range one. For an equavilent say Samsung galaxy S II it's about ~379 Euro. I'm glad i'm in the know.

APPLE gives you a smooth OS also

we might not like it but most consumers who are busy in life and want quick smooth access do like APPLE

 

Samsung galazy packs hardware but is a very ugly phone with the out of control android OS.

Have you played with a gingerbread phone? Even on my X10, it is perfectly smooth, and is just as capable as an iPhone, but £200 cheaper

Apple have been clever, they didn't get there first with their 2 big products, the iPod and the iPhone, but they did them a bit better than most others, and then locked them in with iTunes, it is a clever strategy, but I do feel that the tide is turning against them slightly and I hope that the iPhone and iPad loose traction as they are massively over rated

yeah i have played with them,Galaxy SII,Xperia Arc to name a few

what did understand by my post of smooth?

i was talking about the whole user experience

for example i was really waiting for ARC,it looks stunning

it came out and there was no symetry to it

xperia is good looking but feels too slim and long in the hands,its user interface has too many options.

more customization is good but not everywhere and everytime.

You said Apple gives you a smooth OS, I assumed you meant in contrast to Android

You can do as little or as much customisation as you want. The UI is mostly the same, but with the benefits of a hardware options button and a back button and extra stuff like widgets. You don't have to fiddle with it at all, you can just use it like an iPhone, but if you feel like it, there are so many things to tinker with

And if you want something symetrical, get a Samsung Galaxy S II. The whole point of Android is that you get a choice form factors, if you find the Arc too long in the hands, get something like the XPERIA Ray which is coming out now, it is the size of the iPhone
