Can somebody help me with this, How come $170 to $220 of Bill of Materials amounts to nearly 72% of margin?

Android fan here, an I am sad by people like @MSchwartz:disqus who can’t acknowledge good technology. I will not give up my SGS2, but Siri is very impressive technology.

Credit where credit is due.

For every iphone cracked screen complaint, I could find one for a cracked Gorilla glass screened phone. So what’s your point?

If you put any phone into your pocket with your keys, you’re asking for it. I think you’re using certain cases to exaggerate your point. When you pay over the odds for the Samsung Galaxy S2, do you complain about the cheap plastic, or the crap battery life, or the yellowish screen?

Siri is voice activated, and Siri is also AI not just voice recognition software. Get your facts straight before you post dipstick!

Actually vilingo is built in and works way better:
-The voice quality on Siri is not quite there yet
-It’s harder to activate than the the double tap on Galaxy S2
-It still seems to lack voice activation compared to Samsung’s Galaxy series
