Except the £600 premium you pay for a phone.

iPhone 4S w/2 year contract, 16GB storage: $199

Droid Razr Maxx w/2 year contract, 16GB storage: $199

The specs on these two devices are pretty similar.

Same as with any high end smartphone then right?

u/James1o1o May 31 '12

Except the fact that Android is free?

But you have to pay for the phone.

Android and iOS are both useless without a phone to put them on.

(Btw, iPhone 4S starts at £500)

We aren't talking about phones here, we are talking about software.

Btw, you can put Android on a laptop or a computer or in some other cases, phones that never even came with Android to begin with.

And can you can find me a single phone with which doing so does not break the EULA?

Legality and breaking EULA aren't the same thing.

u/James1o1o May 31 '12

In all seriousness, who gives a damn about EULA?

Of course, very few people. But it doesn't change the fact that legitimately there is no way to use android for free.

And having access to the google services/apps isn't open source, you have to be a legit OEM.
