americans have fat hands

so they made a bigger phone so they wouldn't get sued

technology advances?

fat hands evolved to be superior at clapping

>>34263432
They also tend to forget to put down their phone when spontaneously clapping. This is why they invented gorilla glass.

The 9900's keyboard was widely acknowledged to be best in industry, and for good reason. the Q10's is even bigger than the 9900's. there's no way the droid 3's keyboard is nicer than either the 9900's or the Q10's.

How do humans work? They don't expect physical feedback by nature at all! They don't use their highly sensitive fingertips to locate things, like keys, they look at thing with eyes designed to assess large scale situations and pick things off in the distance.

You really do like to suffer for fashion.

concorde was expensive as shit and a pain in the ass.

you had to completely screen the runway for debris manually as the smallest bit could cause a fatal accident with concorde, e.g. what happened to AF 4950.

a dc10 lost a 17 inch strip of metal on deparature to the states on the runway before, rupturing the tire, and this debris ruptured the fuel tank.

tl;dr concorde was a massive, expensive, dangerous pain in the ass.

Android was Apples idea. Disprove me faggots:

Before Smart Phones Apple made the iPhone.

Then all of a sudden everyone wanted a Smart Phone.

You can't even disprove this shit.

we could discuss this endlessly, but they made a blackberry-esque prototype and a prototype for touch android called the dream in 2006, they were planning on blackberry-esque release first and then later the dream, but the iphone's release caused them to hasten these plans for capacitive screens, not turn towards them for the first time.

Debris can affect pretty much any plane

Concorde wasn't dangerous, there's only one accident in all it's history of fliying

It was fuckexpensive, but it was the fastest civil transport ever, the only thing comparable being the Tu-144 that never flyed without a shitton of problems

I agree, android was made into an iOS clone at the last minute. It's better than iOS now, but it's still shit in countless ways.

Ubuntu phone and tizen will fix things, hopefully. I want a phone where I can remove the in depth tracking and all dependence on it.

FirefoxOS will not fix things, it's "made for mobile", in the sense that "mobile" must be limited instead of "desktop" optimized for a touchscreen.

>>34264821
debris can affect any plane but combining the concorde's design and rare flights with the expensive fares and despite that losing revenue (where the plane was kept out of national pride) it was doomed to failure.

if the accidents and reputation didn't kill the concorde, higher fuel prices did.

Except with physical keyboards, most everyone is already over the learning curve, muscle memory (in both hands!) isn't as crucial (you can feel where the keys are) and the only disadvantage is not being up to some dumb fashion trend.

How fucking retarded do you have to be to get a Galaxy Note? That thing is too fucking huge.

>>34264791
Honestly, I have a Galaxy but I keep going back to my candybar Nokia on most occasions. The only thing it's good for is displaying pictures because of the screen size, but the horrid keyboard (even with Swype/Fleksy/Swiftkey, typing on a static screen is terrible) and the fact that you cannot comfortably use it in any position but with two hands while standing upright I don't really play any games either, Angry Birds lost its entertainment value after about the third level, and every other feature sans the wifi is available on my other phone. Which doesn't really matter since I have an unlimited data plan. I even use the same fucking browser.

>>34264798

Wtf man? I can't tell the difference between the T and the Y key from the way how they feel. All keys feel the same

When you're typing on a physical keyboard, that's pure muscle memory. The only advantage of a physical keyboard is tactile response, which you can have on a touch screen if you enable it to vibrate.

the major disadvantage of a touchscreen keyboard is that it's super awkward to hold it and type on it, especially when it's >4 inch in size
