I had an Android phone. I hated the user experience. So, I got an iPhone. I now love my phone. I'm an American, but that doesn't really play into it. I consider Google an American company also.

America and the rest of the world have to take opposite sides on things: We like football, they like soccer. We like CDMA, they like GSM. We like iPhone, they like Android.

Android users are sick of being called stupid, poor and lacking in taste by a handful of smug, condescending posers [iPhone owners]. :D

I read that as

> Android users are sick of being called [names] by a handful of smug, condescending posers [iPhone owners].

Silly name-calling goes in both directions, and silly accusations of name-calling go in both directions. Same old story.

It's harder to find people with Android phones who believe that their phone was designed by God.
