chrome is fine but it needs a lot of work TBH. Chrome is better on tablets. I use the android browser on mobile more. It has way more features

The only thing I use chrome for is gamecast. It's goat status for flipping back and forth between games.

Everything else I use the standard browser. Quick controls >>>>

what can you do in one step on ios that you cant do on android??

I think android is easier to use honestly once you know what you are doing. But like you said people become accustom to an OS and dont give the other one a try. I had to sell ipad 3 simple shyt was driving me crazy.

ios will show you an email on your lock screen one swipe and you're in the email pictures loaded and everything. in Android you have to either pull down the notification bar or open the email app choose the email and hit show pictures.

wait till you get on jelly bean + the new Gmail. I find it way quicker than using ios to view email. In Ios you have to unlock the screen before you can acess your content if im not mistaken. I havent use ios 6 yet :scusthov:

main drawback of Android is the will they or won't they waiting game of the updated versions. hell by the time you get the previous version of Android on your device the next version is set to hit.

@winb83 blame the oem and carriers. you think they care about updating old phones vs selling new ones. All these carriers have a holiday list full of new phones that will be shipped with Jelly bean. Root and custom roms are big in the android community because carriers screw the consumers over.

The GS2 runs flawlessly with stock Jelly bean so its not that the hardware is outdated. OEM want you to update your phone
