    You can make the decision for others.
    What you are buying is not smart so everyone should not buy that phone.

    No. 5 million sales in 3 days is the most useful information when making a decision what phone to buy.

    5 million more iPhones without malware, this is what I call smart.

    Well, it's really smart then if you say so.
    Also, the (alleged) malware has noting to do with the sales of handsets. Even if it exists, it is not being sold with the phones as you seem to imply.
    You definitely have problems with linking some facts to others (the same as with the posts).

    Which part of English do you not understand? the word MAY was included, which is somewhat different to will.
    That is a big difference to the way you see things and the way I do, a lot of iphones are sold on the 1st week of launch, after that it trickles down just like any other device. Not sure why you see it as slagging of an item, realistic posts are much more useful than euphoric posts IMO.

    I notice they neglected to compare it with the HTC One X, that has a larger, higher resolution Super LCD 2 screen.

    We have two PCs in my home and I did have problems with virusies/malware despite all precautions.
    We have three androids for 2 years and have never had any problems.
    That's what I know for fact, but I am not stupid to download random apps without checking the feedback and the permissions first.

    I believe that malware does exist, but affects mainly careless, not to say stupid, people.
  • Do you think malware does not exist at all with iphone?
