>>5 I don't like the 'close-minded' nature of Apple software. They have to approve all software that can be released onto the store, etc. Android is open to more. This is important to me. As for physical strength, I don't want to lose $600 because I accidentally forget to zip up my bag and my phone falls out. They
should be able to survive fairly high falls, especially if the R&D costs were enough to warrant the price tag. You'd think they'd have spent it on some higher-strength materials.
