> To a certain type of gadget user, an Android smartphone is a symbol of defiance. These users see Google’s software — its customization options, hardware affordability, and no-frills design — as the perfect refutation of the sterile, mass-marketed appeal of Apple’s iPhone.
I've used Android since some of the earliest versions and while this may have been accurate at on point it isn't now. Google is quickly becoming the poster boy for orwellian corporate control and I'm looking for alternatives.

I have an opposite reaction. Whenever I see somebody pulling out an iPhone, my first thought is that he/she is probably just an idiot who can't do sh&t with their computer with a cellphone attached, and only carry it for showing how cool they are by possessing such a branded and trendy gadget. I have similar thoughts, but much less intense, for other smartphones of the big brands.
If your second date is conditional based on the type of smartphone you have then be thankful for bypassing that world of misery.
