Android malware is not really an issue, just like with other computers don't be dumb and you'll be ok. Don't go installing some **** app from East Bloc website. As far as not getting upgrades, yeah it can be a mess but you can always get the Nexus phones.
I'm also interested to see what the next iphone will be. If it is packing at least a 4" screen, LTE, and iCloud gets better it might be my next phone.

Plus you can run antivirus apps on your phone haha.
Can set up daily/weekly scans plus it will scan all newly installed apps, just like a PC

I have the same phone as thomas but unrooted, running stock rom and it works just fine. Think of it as a car, im stock and he is running stage 2. At least with android you have the option to go stage 2.
The latest update seems to have cured my not receiving text problem. I guess they knew it was coming so thats why they didnt give me a new phone straight away.
I am much happier with my razr than i was with my iphone 4.

Samsung Unveils GSIII Complete with Own Version of Siri
Specs for the Galaxy S III include a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED 1280 x 720 display; a quad-core Exynos processor; 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera on the back with a 1.9-megpixel affair up front (as opposed to the 1.3-megapixel lens that was rumored); Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top and new gesture functions to improve navigation; and HSPA+ support (Samsung is also working on an LTE model). The whole package will weigh in at 133g and measures just 8.6mm thick. Samsung says the device is supposed to mimic the 'warmth and beauty' of nature.
As far as software is concerned, Samsung's bundled in some nifty new features, including voice capture for photos (no more reaching around to try to stab the capture button on the touchscreen!), as well as Smart Stay, which keeps your phone active when you're using it using the front-facing camera to detect your face. S Beam is an expansion of Android Beam that uses WiFi and NFC to let you share photos and videos (Samsung mentions a 1GB clip being shared in three minutes and a 10MB music file skipping across to a buddy's phone in two seconds).
S Voice is Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri, and the company is describing it as an 'advanced natural language user interface' that listens and responds to your words. You can tell S Voice to 'snooze' if your alarm goes off and you're not quite ready to leave bed, you can use it to play your favorite songs, send texts, emails, organize your schedule or, like we mentioned, take photos.
