iPhone 4s vs. new Android?

Quote from maxpi:

I've had a Galaxy S since January. I really immersed myself in the Android world recently just because I kept having problems and I was curious about it all... I've gotta say, after a year, this thing is a piece of shit in a few ways and Android in general is a kludged up pile of 99% worthless garbage...

I can't hear phone calls without using the speaker. The GPS is so weak as to be useless. [those two complaints are voiced by most owners of the phone]. I upgraded to the latest Android and subsequently sometimes the phone doesn't respond to button presses.. I can walk into my room with the wifi router and the phone won't automatically connect to the wifi, worse yet, it will display the notification that wifi is present but will still be connected to 3G.. I have to check it every goddam time and it's annoying me to death... when I use a browser the whole screen is filled up with the top part of the browser, the screen is too small to serve for browsing and the 3G is so slow as to render the whole experience very unsatisfying... screen swipes sometimes result in unpredictable events happening, I can't recreate that... The screen has a sick green tiring cast to it...

I won't try to bundle browsing with phone again. The browsing is far more important to me than the phone. I wear dockers and jeans and a 7" tablet can go with me everywhere comfortably. I'll instead bundle phone with browsing. I'm playing with Google voice for the calling.. if that proves satisfactory I'll get a tablet and be done with it... If the Kindle Fire serves to drive down tablet prices I'll be a little happier but it won't serve for anything but streaming Amazon stuff: no GPS...

If you're technically inclined, have you tried flashing a custom ROM/kernel such as CM7/MIUI with the Glitch kernel? They do wonders.
