    Well apparently because I disagree with you, I'm an "iTtroll". You feel threatened enough that you've had to resort to childish name calling.

    I gave you facts, you gave me none. I've got both, Apple and non-Apple products therefore I have no interest in sharing subjective opinion.

    And facts about iPhone are:
    - compatibility issues with non-Apple products i.e. bluetooth with non-Apple products, wireless network printers etc.
    - lack of innovation, far superior Android phones available i.e. Galaxy S3
    - small screen - less comfort, watch and learn from Samsung
    - cannot replace battery by yourself like in most of the Android phones
    - cannot add memory like in Android phones
    - no Adobe Flash in iPhone
    - iPhone heavier than i.e. Galaxy S range even though it's smaller
    - iPhone is fragile when you drop it
    - apps are comparable, but due to compatibility issues iPhone apps usability is annoyingly limited

    In the phone market iPhones are losing miserably I'm afraid, but still sales are fairly strong due to all the hype.. When it comes to tablet market I think they are still on top (even with the issues mentioned above), but Windows is getting there. Samsung with its tablet disappoints and need to do much better.

    Fact. But this might not bother some people.
    - lack of innovation, far superior Android phones available i.e. Galaxy S3

    Opinion.
    - small screen - less comfort, watch and learn from Samsung

    Opinion.
    - cannot replace battery by yourself like in most of the Android phones

    Fact, but it's up to the user whether they care or not.
    cannot add memory like in Android phones

    Fact, but it's up to the user whether they care or not.
    - no Adobe Flash in iPhone

    Fact, but it's up to the user whether they care or not.

    iPhone heavier than i.e. Galaxy S range even though it's smaller

    Maybe a fact, but it's up to the user whether they care or not.

    - iPhone is fragile when you drop it

    Opinion.
    - apps are comparable, but due to compatibility issues iPhone apps usability is annoyingly limited

    Opinion

    As you can see, your "facts" are essentially meaningless unless you attach any value to them. Which makes your attempt to "prove" something is better than something else using such "facts" is completely futile.

    It's truly astonishing the number of people who can't tell the difference between facts and opinions. What are they teaching you in schools these days?! I just love debunking this nonsense :).

    The Xperia P is a newly released product. Why are they releasing a product that lags so much?

    To use your own words (and by doing so I attach no real value to them):

    Fact, but it's up to the user whether they care or not.

    Exactly. Can you share some of your understanding with the many on here who can't seem to grasp this concept?

    Why do people care so much about which OS is better? Does it really matter?

    This kind of things always go on. The fanboy of Android will go on about how their product is better than iPhone, windows phone, blackberry etc. others will go on about how their device is better.

    In fairness, you listed small screen as an opinion when it is a fact that much higher resolution screens are available on Android phones.
