1. Malware
It's no secret that Android Market is a repository of malware. Google itself has done the cleaning and still find the malware is hiding in the application. Unfortunately, the user will not know the application that he bought is a malware to be downloaded and installed then steal personal data in the phone.
2. Security issues
Security problem has long been a Google homework. Although each security issue found Google to quickly provide a patch but still it will show up other security problems. Keep in mind the phone is the most important gadget that knows all your data and activities. How can you possibly trust the security on any system?
3. Version confusion
For those of you who have never used the Android must not be confused with a variety of Android. Is the newest is Froyo, Gingerbread or Honeycomb? Is the phone you use must be Ice Cream Sandwiches, Cupcake or Donut? Does your cell phone makes it possible to run the old version of Android?
Well, Gingerbread is Android 2.3 but Honeycomb is 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. But if you want to buy the new Android smartphone you are advised to look for phones with the Android 2.3 Android 3.2 is that although tebaru for now, but only to the tablet. Confusing?
If your phone is Android Froyo and you want to upgrade to Gingerbread, can you? Unfortunately not all Android phones support the upgrade. You have to wait for the official update from the manufacturer or, do the hacking. The more confusing ....
4. Different different mobile user experience
When you hold the iPhone, whether it's the iPhone 3G or iPhone 4 you will feel it is an iPhone. But not if the Android smartphones.
Android phones are created by a different manufacturer, different homescreen, UI and features are different. If you buy two Android phones, laying them side by side, you just do not know if it is Android phone then you would not think it is two different phones.
If you intend Android beganti from the old to the new Android phones, like it or not you have to learn all new things; UI, features and how to operate are also different. Although mobile phones with the same manufacturer, you still need time to get used to like using a phone with a different OS.
5. It is possible to upgrade CAN NOT be done without jailbreaking / rooting / modding and the like
Upgrade in the history of the Android phone is not so good. Most manufacturers design their own cell phones and stay put on the existing version of Android. If at any time Google releases a new version of Android, the phone you use might not be compatible with the latest Android.
And the Android technology that will release in late 2011 is called as Android Ice Cream Sandwich. If you buy an Android phone now, might upgrade to the Ice Cream Sandwich is very small. Except, if you want to do the jailbreak or rooting.
