What kind of cell phone do you have?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I'm hesitant to go the iPhone route, although I'm sure they'll eventually pull me in too.

Yeah, once you get in ... you're hooked. Seriously, it is the best mobile platform I've seen.

Still, I can understand your reticence and that is why I, along with AntiAlias (and you, as well, I think), would like to see a real competitor to iOS.

So far it's not Windows, even though I was tempted by it.

Yeah, I thought Android would be it. I love the extensibility and extra customization but that carries a cost in reliability.

I've always jail-broken my iPhone and installed Cydia.
Still waiting for the iOS6 jailbreak.
It's out there but not quite stable enough for me to take a stab at - last I read it's still a tethered jail-break.

The appeal to me for the Android platform, is the extensive armature development community.

As far as I know, neither iOS nor Windows offers such a community.

Well, nothing official but Chronic Dev, the the Dev Team and Jay Freeman (the creator of Cydia) offer a lot of extensibility to the iOS platform ... too bad it's only relegated to us geeky iOS users. :(

Apple products may not be perfect but Microsoft will not get another one of my dimes if I can help it.

Mine has a retractable antenna. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
