I had a Galaxy Nexus. The thing died in less than a week. I'm gonna stick to my dumb phone now and a ipod touch to compliment it.

Its a freaking phone. What else do you want it to do!!!

Not surprised to hear it, this is what a lot of people have been saying all along. Woz just proves one more time he has common sense.
Glad he can afford to get all this new phones when they come out and hence be able to make honest comparisons. Usually only tech review companies can do that, and sometimes they have some agendas behind their reviews. While Woz is not giving a review per-se, he is able to approach this from a consumer (educated one) POV and share.

He is gonna get sued...

 

[classzero]

What was his primary phone that he uses?

Funny that he waited until Jobs was gone... Probably out of fear.

Looks like Woz shares my opinions about iPhone vs Android pretty much exactly.

If my Android does go into a boot-loop or crashes because of something I did, I can just pull the battery.

the new secretary at work = sexy
your wife at home = functions

[captaincharisma]

iphone is too closed and not as flexable as android in cases like ringtones and apps

andriod's dont really crash its the people that use them

people complain that there phone crashes are normally running unstable custom roms.

go download a stable rom guys. i just switched to ginger stir fry from cyangenmod. its quicker, crashes less often and does what i want it to do



iphones look nice and are good for non tech savy people but im not paying the premium for apple products

Why is Tom's Hardware reporters always behind on current tech news? It's frustrating that their special reports are top notch but everything in the reporting world is lacking? ok done trollin

I prefer to think of them as handheld computers or at least a PDA with a phone added. In that regards I should be able to install any software I want from any source and have full access to folder navigation, command prompt and system files.

If you just want a phone buy a jitterbug.

Well, even as you state, "less often". Custom ROM or not, they do occasionally reboot on you, but from those I know with iPhones, the same thing happens to them too. It's just part of having a smart phone. I probably average a reboot once a week or 2, usually when using navigation.
