> Maybe you got lucky but many people have problems with phones rebooting or needing reboot/software reinstalls. I have a droid that is bricked right now, it wont charge the battery and if i ghetto rig power it, it still wont let me reinstall new software. And before you jump to conclussions i never rooted this phone or tried to. There are many things i like about the droid but the OS itself doesn’t run near as smooth as the iOS. Even just trying to slide to the next home screen sometimes it just sits there. I constantly have to shut programs down.

My wife is on her 6th iPhone due to failure, do you really want to compare?

You say it’s bricked, I bet if you put a charged battery in and place it in bootstrap mode that you could flash it with a factory SBF no problem.

Lots of Android hate is from people that have no business owning anything other than a fuckin’ firefly 2 button children’s phone or a nursing home big button clamshell phone.
