Galaxy Nexus versus iPhone 4S

The Named Staff Writer said:
That said, I won’t leave you high and dry. The Galaxy Nexus is best. Why? Because it’s the first Android device that has the BlackBerry loyalists in the MyBroadband office considering a switch to a different platform.

Who would that be?

Names removed to protect the identities of the guilty.

This doesn't make sense to me. Most BlackBerry loyalists in my experience (and I know quite a few) are loyal because of BBM, BIS and the physical keyboard. The GNexus has none of that, it's actually about as far from the BB philosophy as you can get.

Care to explain the logic of these people?

There is no real logic. You love a device or you don't. Giving up the physical keyboard is the decider for at least one of them, BBM is a concern for the other.

Probably some user commented "If I didn't have a Blackberry, I'd have a Nexus"

Nope. More something like: "I'm really wondering whether I should switch to the Galaxy Nexus."

And: "I'm thinking of switching to the Nexus. Mind letting me use it for a week or so to try it out?"
 
Apple can just as easily use this chip as anyone else.

Very true, but they still need to release iPhone x to do so.

What I was implying is that they better release something this year July, and not only focus on iPad 3 as rumors states.
 
Makes one wonder when it will be safe to buy a smartphone / tablet that isn't outdated within a few months...

Going with this article- quad core already appears to be outdated by the ARM A15 design...

That is why its a must lately to have 2 x contracts, each a year apart if you want to stay up to date. I have a Vodacom + Cell C, mostly because of uptime requirements, but it works out at the end of day with the constant upgrade cycle.

Alternatively cancel your contract after 12 months and start a new contract .Sure you will have to pay quite a large early termination fee but this can be subsidized by sale of phone from contract 1.

I think u have to give the phone back if u terminate early.
