To the OP:
You should not be pressured by all the no-lifes trying to act cool.They are miserable people in real life,so they are trying to show off their e-peen here,where no one can see them,behind their keyboards.The iPhone will definetly not be improved that much,but it looks rather satisfactory.If you are an average user there are many apps that will make your life easier.And no,the advertisments are false.All the people saying that the device does what it was advertised for should careully watch the advertisment located in the "Videos" section,then we might talk again.The device is half-baked,its a fact.There has been no progress in the last couple of months whatsoever,especially in the software department.The opennes of the device is of no use,literally.Maybe you can make some small tweaks and modifications but why dont u fix the Media Player?Guess what,you cant.Why?Its closed.So how open is the device actually?Not open enough so that people can make significant changes to it.So if you want to go with another device,go for it.The device is open but its the fanboys that arent able to look beyond their "pink,concript world",their minds are closed.So dont bother with them.The best of luck to you my friend.
