why skin android if you are going to do a horrible job at it?

[Adam J. Perlaki]

Hardware wise it seems to be a decently made device but now that I've had the Nexus 4 for awhile any thing other than stock android makes me shudder. Ugh that lag.

Now, seriously, what the fuck more do you want me to do? My original statement was just a copy/paste deal All I did was switch out Lumia 920 for the iPhone 5. I feel that you looked at the other guy's comment and just feel like you have to continue this stupid argument because you feel moronic. That's fine, feel like a moron, but don't waste my damn telling me to prove to you - a moron - that MY OWN FUCKING PHONE doesn't lag.

MORON, I copy/pasted that "android will always lag". READ THE THREAD.

NOW LET'S GET TO MY Galaxy Nexus. Yes, let's start with that phrase: "MY GALAXY NEXUS." Any OPINIONS that I have on Android is based on MY GALAXY NEXUS' performance.

Anything you consider "anecdotal" a fault of your own. The fact is that my Galaxy Nexus lags. It really does. You want me to prove that it lags when I physically can't show you my device.

Do you know what a Galaxy Nexus is? It's a Nexus. It doesn't ship with a skin...which is why I bought it; I hate skins on Android.

STAHP, DOOD! YOO AR AN IGNORANT DOOD!

LOLZ aside, my iPhone 5 and 4S don't lag. YOU don't understand that mobile OS's have different demands from each other. See, because if you cared to read, you'll have noticed that I said my Samsung Focus doesn't lag either.

WHAT THIS AMOUNTS TO is that iOS 6 and Windows Phone 7 don't require powerful processors or large amounts of RAM to run smooth. And that's what's happening.

NOW THIS DOESN'T APPLY to iPhone 4. That phone has a single-core 800MHz CPU.

Again, more hyperbole. I've read all your messages, and it demonstrates you utter lack of understanding as to how a mobile OS works. Your iPhones don't lag? Bullshit.Your GNex does lag? Then get that stupid touchwiz skin off of it and see how it flies. Why don't you provide some concrete FACT (not this my this lags,my that lags, that's anecdotal and means nothing) that android will always lag? Call me simple if you want, but right now your just spouting bullshit and opinion presented as fact.

[MysticalMastodon]

You're too simple to converse with, man. Did you even read my first message? You didn't think I only sent you a P.S. message, did you? That explains the hyperbole, bro. I was just copying someone else.

My iPhone doesn't lag. I can't speak for anyone else. My Palm Pré lags; my Blackberry Storm 1 and 2 lag; my Pearl Flip definitely lags; and my Galaxy Nexus and G1 lag. My iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 don't lag. Oh and my Samsung Focus doesn't even have Windows Phone 7.5, so there's no reason for lag.

[CentiZen]

No, you really haven't. You've just listed off a list of random phones you may or may not have had and expect that to mean anything when you say ridiculous things like "dosen't matter how many cores at which speed" when obviously things like that do matter. And stop pretending that iphones don't lag, because they do. As soon as apple releases the new one, all the old ones "magically" get slower. But please, enlighten me, what black magic does iOS use to gain this utter superiority you claim?

[MysticalMastodon]

P.S. I own currently own the iPhone 5, Samsung Focus, Galaxy Nexus, Blackberry Tour, Storm 1 & 2, Pearl Flip, Palm Pré, G1, and the iPhone 4S. I'm the farthest thing from a fanboy. Even has Windows installed on my Mac. Oh, and I bought the Xoom on day one... I think I've explained enough. If I say anymore, you won't be able to assume anything about me :S

[MysticalMastodon]

No, I never used the specific phone you're talking about. I used an Galaxy Nexus with 4.1. In fact, this is the phone that I own. It really didn't matter what the task was, my iPhone 4S was faster with iOS 6. That's why I mentioned your lack of confidence.

In any case, calm down. I really don't care what you think of Android: I don't care if you don't think it's laggy. My only reason for commenting was the fact that @omgthisisAlex said the same thing about Android except he used the Nokia 920.

[CentiZen]

I knew the answer; if you think android has lag, you've not used an s3 or any of the other awesome phones available without some carrier skinning. Care to, you know, back up your claims of iphone superiority? Looks to me like your just a sardonic fanboy.
