According to this logic no two phones running different os's should be compared... right?
Not as far as specs go, no. It's too hard to find a benchmark that is fair. Even JavaScript and sunspider benchmarks aren't "fair" in the sense that each OS handles that type of code differently.
My benchmark is how they run in my hand. And between the SGSII and iPhone 4/4S they are equally smooth. I haven't had any rebooted or anything like that (maybe one force close on an app), and battery life for me has been good, but not iPhone good.
Each phone will have it's issues. Hopefully they will be fixed and addressed.
I agree that the iPhone keyboard is amazing (and I love swiftkey and swype).
Also, because of the way multi tasking is handled on ios ram doesn't matter as much.
Lets not make this a bashing thread or I'll be forced to close it. I'm all for lively discussion, but not when it gets to bashing another platform or persons decision.
