ICS was a worthless update and should be removed ASAP.

Sounds like you need a nap and a bottle lol jk, really I feel your pain, but I'm always in learning mode so I try to find new things to do with my phone everyday, its useful for more than just facebook I promise.

You have to be an expert to use android? Android is still the easiest and best OS out even though ICS leaves much to be desired. If you can navigate windows you can navigate android. As far as social media you don't have to use it, I deleted Facebook months ago, and the share button is an option, you don't have to press it! If you think browsing will be as good on a dumb phone good luck with that! Keep in mind Android is less than 4 years old, it took microsoft over 15 years to get a really polished OS (win7).

Maybe you should just get an IPhone, and when you drop it and the screen breaks (or throw it out of frustration) the Android community will welcome you back.....but not without a few I told you so's!;)

Thanks for your opinion, but i've gotten some noobs hooked on Android products and they love it. I like the customization you can do, rather than being told what you can do (i.e. Apple) with their "icons". I like that I can still use iTunes and have Google Play Manager sync the music automatically. I can also plug my phone into any pc to transfer something, rather than be screwed with Apple.

i don' thave Twitter nor other social media accounts, other than a FB page, fake of course, to get coupon deals. That;s it. i play games, search for things, use maps, stream music, etc. I know my wife says she doesn't want one, but I know she is jealous at times of my phone. She still isn't getting one.

I had the chance to get a physical keyboard as a warranty replacement, but they are all large and bulky, IMHO. Plus, something else physical to break. I like ICS. I like the sweep away feature to remove stuff from the notifcation bar. Disable apps, and kill running apps from memory are all joys to use.

Though, I don't completely disagree with this. Even iOS, making a big deal out of deeper twitter and FB integration...

I don't think the phones are becoming "stupid" phones, I just think they're trying to pack too much into some of them, and yes, focusing too much on the social aspect of all of it.

I love the social aspect of it. I can keep up with my family via FB, I only have close friends and family as friends. I plan to use it for video chats via Skype when we have a baby next year, I'm a truck driver. I browse the web a lot, lots of texts, videos, and pictures. I use data way more than voice. That may change next year though when my wife gets off the truck.

I'm pretty sure I'm about to just drop the ETF. Seriously Verizon? $144 now for 4GB of data??!! 3 updates behind on my GNex??!! T-Mobile is about to start offering unthrottled unlimited data to their monthly 4G. May have to seriously consider them or Sprint. Plus no more rewards for the loyal 10+ year subscribers? I'm paying more for less and it got old extremely quick, no wonder the Nexus 4 didn't go to them.
