xrichx saidNot a surprise. There comes a point where the newer OS can't run on older hardware without affecting user experience. Same goes for iphone, and why they (finally) updated it with a dual core processor.
swimguychicago saidWhat are you talking about? I bought a Galaxy Nexus from Verizon because it's the first phone with both Android 4.0 and 4 G.

The Nexus is not the S series. The Nexus is Google's 'flagship' hardware built to define the user standard for 'ice cream sandwich'. Google does this at the end of each year to push manufacturers in the coming year to match the user experience they've defined with their new phone.
As one reviewer put it, the Nexus' battery life on 4G is abysmal. This won't change until new low(er) power 4G chipsets arrive.

Apple didn't upgrade the iPhone to dual core so it could run the 'newer' OS (iOS 5).. they upgraded the iPhone to dual core because it was time to upgrade the iPhone to dual core. iOS 5 runs fine on the iPhone 3GS (and of course the 4/4S). It doesn't run on the 3G.

RobertF64 said"Runs fine" is overstating it. Read the comments in the article you cited. Not everyone had great results from the upgrade. The same from my co-workers. They ended upgrading to the 4S because the lag was so bad on their 3GS.xrichx saidrightasrain saidiOS 5 runs fine on the iPhone 3GS? Nope.xrichx saidNot a surprise.

It pains me to defend anyone keeping a phone with an Infineon baseband.
But, aren't you overstating it just a little bit?

My iPhone 3Gs runs laggy since updating to iOS 5

iOS 5 runs on the 3GS which is 2 generations behind. If there's a company that actually does a good job at keeping their phones updated with the latest firmware its Apple. With Apple you know that your phone can keep up for at least 3 years, which is reasonable due to the fact that contracts can go anywhere from 1 to 3 years. it is ridiculous that Samsung can't even upgrade their phones with barely one year in the market place.

Well, that might have been true when Steve Jobs was alive.
It's also ridiculous that the iPhone does not run 4G networks, which are lightning-fast. 3G is slow...as...fuck; the other day it took me ten minutes to download an app.
I love my iPhone when connected to wireless; however, Apple really screwed the pooch by not yet releasing a 4G-compatible model, which will now have to be delayed in order to avoid alienating customers who bought the latest iPhone and will freak out if the next iPhone (which *must* be 4G for Apple to compete) is released anytime soon.
Samsung should be ashamed of this debacle, but let's not pretend that Apple is up on the latest technology with their slow-ass, behind-the-times 3G network bullcaca.
