Comment on Android’s Dirty Secret: Shipping Numbers Are Strong But Returns Are 30-40%

Comments

I think this is mostly people getting what they paid for. I'm sure lots of people who bought Androids said "oh, well, it's just like an iPhone and everyone has those" but what they were actually thinking was "damn this is so much cheaper".

You get what you pay for. Case in point: spring for a Nexus. No problems.

FWIW I love my Captivate (Samsung Galaxy phone) and I paid less than $50. I wish they were better about updating the Android version, but I wouldn't say the Nexus is the only Android worth having.
