Also, GPS was nonfunctional and it took Samsung too long to admit there was a problem. Then they threw together a fix, that for the most part didn't work. After that ordeal I swore I'd only buy phones that I enjoyed the CURRENT capabilities of, and not what it may do in the future.
ETA: Actually what I just wrote reminded me that I'm pretty sure it's up to the OEMS to push out updates like bug fixes, security patches, etc. Google just pushes out the actual OS updates and that's when things get messy with carrier involvement.
This.
That's why everyone and their dog tries for a Nexus device... Frequent updates of the latest builds. It's also why so many root and put stock Android on their phones. It's not Google that delays the updates to the OEM's, it's the OEM's delaying the update to the end user because they have to make their skin work with the update.

Because it has the same generic android system that 70% of the phones being sold have.
How do you stand out from 70% of the people buying a android device? You can dump water on your phone. Awesome :yawn:
There's a lot you don't understand about Android, isn't there... You can put three different Android phones side by side, by different OEM's, and they don't look or behave the same. Period.

I like that it's waterproof but they have to cover all the ports which you need to remove when you charge or do stuffs. I have a phone once that have those types of cover and they tend to break easy.
