It's probably best you take another look at what Android offers at certain price brackets.
I have a $250 Huawei. 1GHz, 4" screen, Adreno GPU, 5MP camera. Runs amazingly well with ICS.

Link? The last time I looked at the $300$ bracket was when the P500 was $200$

Also this looks awesome for the price: http://huaweimobile.co.nz/ascend-g600
$400.

The Galaxy Nexus is $468$ish so I rounded up, would still rather pay the extra $70$ for a flagship device to get a greater amount of support from Google, CFW devs and app devs.

Not to mention, if you are willing to directly buy it from china yourself, you can pick up above spec phones even cheaper (sub-$300). Androids are by far superior for the middle market.

Almost any phone is cheaper from china, never said they weren't. It is exactly where I am looking and why I am asking RB for the link.

Playing games isn't important.
Having an affordable device that can deliver mobile access to the internet, video, GPS, twitter etc to the masses is pretty powerful stuff.

No they aren't they are just an example, but there will be other tasks out there that the cheaper phones just can't handle. An E90 communicator could do all the listed tasks as well. Hell even a 3120c could do all that minus the GPS.

Wait what. You consider a cheap android to be $500?

That is a lot cheaper compared to the phones at the 1000$ mark. Android phones cheaper than that and you might as well get a cheap Nokia phone because the screen is too small or it is too far out of date. At the $500 dollar mark one can pick up the slightly outdated but still pretty good Galaxy Nexus.

So you're talking about Apple then?
5 years and 6 phone. You fucking tell me bro.
Android phones with fucking old school Gingerbread are still be made and used, on hold hardware, and run really well.

The 3Gs from 2009 got iOS6(Yes doesn't have full support but that is what the Cydia/AppStore is for), I don't see the EVO 4G, Nexus One or DROID getting Jellybean.
But not by major players, see how support they'll have in a years time.

I doubt the cheaper Android phones will be able to cope with any serious processing loads. They are normally made with outdated hardware so they normally need to be replaced every year or less to keep up with the latest apps. I know someone who purchased a cheap Android Sony phone for around $500 and temple run lags enough to be unplayable.

I'm assuming fair as in 6 people that just want cheap android phones will buy a $99 phone compared to one person that will buy a $599 Iphone for it's features (cheapest iphone on the market currently).

I agree, you can't compare how many Android phones sold vs Iphone because there is about 20 different manufacturers selling phones with Android on them ranging from $80 to $1000.....

Personally Android has a better OS but Iphone has better apps. For now....
This.

One day I will be able to switch back to Android tablets

What in the fuck are you even talking about?

Buy Android phone. Turn on said phone. Use said phone.

Tell me at what stage you need to "fuck around to make things work"?. Its not like they send you a phone that is unformatted with no OS and no apps, that you then have to finish coding and flash via odin.

I think you are,

A) An Apple fanboi (i said it, come at me bro)
B) To short sighted to see that the Android growth will only result in better OS's and better phones

Considering that, you know, Android is outselling iOS 6 to 1...

Cloud syncing and storage across multiple devices, for iOS it just requires you to login using your account. Android for example requires actually setting up Dropbox last I remember with 3.0
Some older hardware is not given updates that it should and requires resorting to CFW, nexus products are usually kept in the loop but other manufacturers are guilty of this. Where an Appple product usually gets updates 2-4 years after it's release.
Another thing is all the shit a manufacturer or carrier may install on your phone for you and some people hate this.
It toke me a week or so to setup the Android tablet the way I wanted it and there was constant problems that required fixing like the wifi connection. Randomly it would disconnect and required me to re-enter the key but that wouldn't work either sometimes.

No I personally prefer the products but I actually also owned an Android tablet, I recommended Android products actually to people if they want a cheaper smartphone, bigger screen sizes or if they are the kind of people who like to tinker with mobile devices. I really want an Arduino development environment for iOS but I know it's not going to happen.

I agree with you here, we can already see Android addressed issues with iOS from day one and it has influenced other companies for the better. Notification drop down, multiple handset makers, bigger screen sizes, proper maps application.

Yes they are outselling but the iOS is targeting a specific market, Apple has pretty much always said its their way or the highway. Android devices are far more available and the number of devices and prices pretty much blankets the market. It is a bit like the Nokia and Blackberry, both were profitable but Nokia's were something everyone had while Blackberries were for that specific market.

So do I just not as much with something I depend on so heavily for doing almost everything. Anything else electronic is fair game such as PC, PSP, Arduino etc

Agreed

Never said Apple invented anything but they have brought almost everything into a nice neat package for the users. You can do about the same amount of things on both mobile operating systems but I personally prefer not having to muck around to get this working, native ALC playback, larger communities for each device and generally higher app quality.

I do however like Android's openness which allows some cool stuff like different launchers and programming Arduino compatible boards.

What I hate about both sides is that advanced users have to resort to jail breaking or rooting to do specific tasks.

I can't decide between Android and iOS for a phone, they are too evenly matched. Do I pay more and get convience or do I pay less but have to fuck around more? The tablets iOS wins because of the app store.

Sounds like BF3, me so bad with knife.  MMB seldom works for me and I usually scroll to pistol or nade, then try the F melee key, that just registers a hit but no kill.  by this time they have normally turned around and insta stabbed me, so much fun, I hate you
Whenever I try using MMB I end up scrolling up instead even when it is on clicks scroll mode

How to not kill someone with a knife
1. Play BC2
2. Get behind said person
3. Attempt to kill by stabbing with knife multiple times from differrent angles
4. Give up and blast them with lead

I'm pretty sure he left because of personality clashes that had been getting worse since he rose to power and was in charge of windows 7. Apparently he didn't want to play nice with other M$ divisions

BC2 was addictive to some extent despite all its problems, BF3 doesn't have that addictive element that makes you want to play again and again. I've clocked in 30ish hours where in BC2 it was somewhere in the 300ish range.
