As i am studying Computer Science i naturally developed an interest in mobile OS technology, i used to have java powered phone by samsung, i used it for quite some time and then suddenly a boom of smartfones hit the generation, blackberry and Iphone became kind of a face of the "cooler smarter and wealthy" generation. i had a java powered fone which served my purposes of call, messaging and internet browsing very well but when everyone around me started buying smartfones specially Iphones, i wanted to have one too but they were very expensive so i planned and tried to convince my father upon buying me an iphone, at 1st he didnt want to but then i convinced him and he gave me the money, So i called up a friend who had been an Iphone user for a long time to help me buy an Iphone. I was willing to buy an Iphone 3GS. We went to the biggest mobile market in town and started exploring we came upon various Iphones but none satisfied my friend and i started loosing hope, then my friend asked the shop keeper to show us a Samsung Galaxy S1, it looked cool but i wanted an Iphone. it was in a good condition and fell in our price range, so my friend started talking me into buying this android powered Galaxy S1 and eventually i agreed, it was running on stock gingerbread 2.3.3, i was really happy with it, the very next day i went to a software guy and got it updated to gingerbread 2.3.6. and since then i am an android user, i have used Iphone, blackberry, android and windows fones but i am an android lover. In the start i wanted to have an Iphone because of its smooth functioning, and millions of applications but when i used android i got to know that almost all of those applications are available for android as well and that how restricted Apple IOS is. it was suffocating as compared to android, i rooted my android fone and put ice cream sandwich 4.0.1 on it and later on upgraded it to 4.3.1 without a problem. android's smoothness reached the level of iphone and also gave me freedom to put any 3rd party app and various mods on it. the only thing that bugs me about android is its limited application memory. It is a stupid restriction. my fone has 2 GB internal memory and 16 GB memory card but my applications are only allowed to use about 900 MB space which restricts the number of applications to be installed on the fone. but as i said freedom to do anything, i rooted my fone and used an application called "link2sd" which helped me transfer all my apps along with data to the memory card and thus install as many apps as i want, another problem with low cost android fones is the low RAM memory, i solved that problem with my fone by using another application known as "swapper" to allot a 1GB virtual memory to the fones RAM hence increasing performance so in short android is love. what about the windows fones then, NOKIA is a big windows fone producer in the market, their fones are amazing looking, good hardware and powerful cameras but i personally dont like the windows mobile OS. that single tile screen bugs me and i got bored of it very soon. And blackberry in my opinion is just for emails and texting no catchy feature for us teenagers.
