The battle of the Droids??! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Altitude · 06-27-2010, 05:27 PM

I was thinking my next purchase of a cell phone would be an Android. But after reading this I don't think I will.

I refuse to allow *any* manufacturer to dictate what can and cannot be installed on a device I purchase. Why do they feel so many consumers need to be protected from themselves (or in Apple's case protecting Apple's reputation)?

Say what you will about WinMo, but at least I have complete control over the device. It's a shame that WinMo 7 is going to be such a dumbed down OS (following the lead of Apple and Google) because I may just never buy another smart phone again if this trend continues.
