In the green side, we have...

Pros:
-Free & open source, you can change its code in any way you want
-XDA Developers. 'Nuff said
-Customizable to no end
-In an unimaginably high spectrum of devices
Cons:
-Can be laggy, specially with Honeycomb
-Manufacturers usually eff it up
In the dark glass side, we have...

![[Image: IOS_5_home_screen.png]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/IOS_5_home_screen.png)
Pros:
-Shit-ton of apps
-Easy to use
-Most of the times, very smooth
-Better tablet apps
Cons:
-Apple makes sure that even after you bought your phone, it's still theirs. (i.e.: Keeps breaking jailbreak)
-No customization whatsoever without jailbreak, still limited with jailbreak
-Limited mod support (i.e.: No XDA)
-Boring. Face it.
In the red side, we have...

![[Image: Windows_Phone_7.5_Start_Screen.png]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/55/Windows_Phone_7.5_Start_Screen.png)
Pros:
-Cool...ish...interface, I guess. (Although you can get Launcher 7 for Android)
-XBox connectivity
-Just as smooth as iOS
Cons:
-Just as locked up as iOS
-Not customizable at all
-Paid jailbreak
-No one uses it, very little apps
-Any phone running WP7 won't get WP8
-Outdated and limited hardware (will get better in WP8)
-Internet Explorer as default browser. Kill it with fire!
For me, Android wins by a long shot.
But what do you think?
Also, tell me what you think should be added to the pros & cons list! Specially Windows Phone, I've barely used it. But hey, Barely anyone actually uses it.

Not lying though!

I think Android is probably the winner. I just like the usability and availability of apps for iOS. You can't beat that!
RE: Mobile OS Discussion! - Nohbdy - 09-02-2012
Android wins 100%.
What the shit are you doing running honeycomb tho? That's 3.0, you should be running at MINIMUM Ice Cream Sammich.

Umm, there should be a Symbian OS too as it is popular for many Nokia phones out there and it does support plenty of apps too.

Personally I have an iPhone 4S as I need the features that it provides, I used to have a HTC Desire HD but I didn't like the interface nor the operating system of it - but Windows 7 does look pretty incredible and I really want to check it out soon.

Agreed, it's very fast and reliable. It also looks clean.

Why is everyone so Android-loving here lol? I understand iPhone is very expensive but to be honest I wouldn't call it overpriced simply because I can't compare any other phone to it. The Samsung Galaxy is rapidly coming closer though.

Quote:Umm, there should be a Symbian OS too as it is popular for many Nokia phones out there and it does support plenty of apps too.I would, except I've never used it, not even a little.
Besides, it's fading away into nonexistence anyway.
