[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Hello everybody.

I've reading the Infuse thread for some time now.

I saw some recurring themes that I would like to write about.

I came up with a survey that I think may be helpful.

(Try to see the humor in it.) :D

In the process of coming up with this survey, I have concluded that it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what phone model, what brand, what CPU or graphics or dual cores and what not...

It doesn't make a whole lot of difference if it's FROYO, GB, HC, ICS or FRIED DONUTS IN BUTTER AND LARD,

It's all about the addiction and the obsession. :D
