Android is shit.
iOS is shit.
Anything else (Windows Phone, bbOS) is not really even an option.
How do we fix smartphones?
Not sure but I agree anon. This isn't the mobile computing I was promised
Go and ask /g/ you smelly neckbeards

Smartphones are fucked. The whole concept is to remove options from the user to create an idiot-proof device that anybody can use. These days, most phones don't even support removing the battery. Normies don't give a shit.
if you like being Jewed and throwing money down a drain, by all means get a smartphone and a cell phone plan.
a cell phone plan should cost 10$ a month. these mother fuckers are charging anything they want, especially for these brick phones.

/g/ can't hold a conversation. it always devolves into flame wars and people calling each other shills and iSheep and faggots etc and nothing gets accomplished.
it's actually easier to talk about technology on /r9k/ than /g/

put together your own build from china and code like an OS from scratch

Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to do something about it? How would you know that I'm capable of designing a better smartphone? You know too much about me I think. I think I'll leave now.

You just need to give the lead of the hardware dev team a firm handshake

Get and old nokia cellphone and an old second hand ipod for your music, literally all you need if you aren't a normie subhuman

Why would you own a smartphone if you're not a normie. You're sure as hell not chatting or talking with anyone on it. The only thing it's good for is web browsing and apps, and you can do those better with a proper laptop. So ditch the phone and buy a good netbook.

Much of that is true but I need decent GPS which is why I'm looking for a mid-tier smartphone. It's all overpriced shit but I need it.
