Get the Galaxy Nexus --- the sell it at mobilicity contract free for $300 --- and get a world phone, unlocked, and with the latest Android software which is much better than the iphone! You can use this phone worldwide and put any sim you want in it.

ice cream sandwich still has adobe flash player. i don't know about jelly bean.on Adobe flash on smartphones - well, it's also now gone from Android phones - I read somewhere today adobe discontinued flash on android.
on Siri... Google Now is in the latest version of android which the galaxynexus will have and it is as good and probably better than siri. google is flexing some muscle.
ps I like it when missy mariposa posts in these threads and others because each time I see new pictures of her
I would say only if the new iPhone supports LTE. Rogers, Bell, and Telus have rolled out theirs in major centres. Not sure about the other players in Canada.Heard they might have a bigger screen size. Right now im using android and enjoy using it. Is it worth paying extra to get iphone?

If someone tries to install Adobe Flash Player on an Android device today, there's a good chance that person will be unsuccessful. The same will happen every day because Adobe now blocks all installations of Flash for Android unless the device has previously installed the plug-in.
Adobe announced last year that it would cease all development for mobile versions of Flash. The company then revealed in June that it would not support Android 4.1, and it would block new devices from installing Flash Player on August 15. Adobe has followed through with those statements and started limiting access to Flash Player from the Google Play Store.
Since it decided to abandon Flash for all mobile devices, Adobe has attempted to phase out Flash Player on Android. The company has not supported pre-loading the software on new devices, and said that it will only update Flash with critical security patches for existing devices. Adobe has warned that phones upgrading to Android 4.1 may "exhibit unpredictable behavior," so its likely that Flash will fade away once users upgrade or stop using the 78 percent of Android devices that are currently compatible.
The next time you update an Android device or get a new phone don't be surprised if Flash Player suddenly stops playing. Just cross your fingers and hope that the Flash content you wish to see quickly becomes the HTML 5 content that you can actually see.
Flash is dead, Apple won the argument and even Adobe is abandoning it on mobile platforms. So buying an Android phone because it can run "Flash" today isn't enough reason to not to buy an iPhone. HTML 5 is the new standard.
I only have an Android phone because I have an account with Mobilicity. If they were to get the iPhone then I would dumb it without any reservations.

most people get the oem firmware. so fuck the network operators. network operators don't usually update your phone even though you requested it, especially here in canada. :doh:"so its likely that Flash will fade away once users upgrade or stop using the 78 percent of Android devices that are currently compatible."
The problem with Android is that it is so fragmented with phones and tablets running 3 different versions of the OS + manufacture skins + plus carrier bloatware. Updates take forever and depend on whim of the hardware manufacture and carriers to decide.
Only the Google Nexus / Nexus 7 run stock Android 4.1 and they don't support Flash.
Adobe & Google have said Jellybean won't support Flash, nor will any of the future versions of the Android OS.
This is the main reason I will never buy another Motorola phone so long as I live in Canada... After being forced to root my phone and flash custom firmware onto it just to enable tethering, which the OEM version of Android for that phone in Canada did not support, I am done with that company. Their customer service outside of the States is not so much poor, as it is nonexistent.most people get the oem firmware. so fuck the network operators. network operators don't usually update your phone even though you requested it, especially here in canada. :doh:
the firmware here applies to all brand. meaning all the phones (apple, samsung, motorola, etc) you buy from any network here in canada will never get update. this totally violate the rules of competition.This is the main reason I will never buy another Motorola phone so long as I live in Canada...

"Rooting" your Android solves lots of little problems and open up many options to the user. Everything from deleting bloatware, moving all your apps to SD card or even installing updated or custom ROM. It was a very easy process for my HTC. I highly recommend giving it a shot. Just remember to BACK UP everything first in case things go sound. The process for Apple is call "jail braking".This is the main reason I will never buy another Motorola phone so long as I live in Canada...
