People concerned about it buy a case.
They'd prefer not to. Cases are ugly and bulky. A solid enough phone doesn't need it.

This is a lovely sentiment, I'm sure you'll back it up with something equally clever like "lolz its a $700 mini computer y wouod u drop it DUH!", but the fact is, cell phones are portable, handheld devices, that occasionally get dropped. Many cell phones can handle being dropped without breaking. Some cell phones - such as those with giant glass panes on both the front & back - are more prone to break in such a situation. That attribute is a negative for a lot of people, making a condescending, dismissive attitude toward the issue misplaced.
All kidding aside. Most of the time Apple will replace your iPhone if the glass gets broken.
yeah, for a fee

The OG Droid doesn't have lag...provided you're rooted, with a custom kernel, and Bugless Beast.
It's annoying that you'd even have to go through all that in the first place. Laggy UI's is exactly the reason I am afraid to get an Android phone in the future.
The entire point of Android is being able to do what you want to your phone.
If you don't like the UI, use Launcher Pro, or get a ROM that has no lag.
???
News to me
I meant that as. You can't fix laggy UI with a ROM. It's an inherent problem due to the lack of hardware acceleration of graphics. Sure you can hide it with a ROM, but it's still there.
This is a lie. And what is the difference between hiding laggy UI and not having it? Isn't that...exactly the same thing?
I believe his point is that even the smoothest ROM isn't going to give you the same experience as a truly GPU accelerated ROM. And really - it hasn't to this point. I've seen some Android ROMs much smoother than stock, but put it next to WP7 or iOS and its still considerably less smooth.
Which is not to say its inferior - just that the UI isn't as smooth, and likely won't be until Google fixes it.

So, if I don't experience a laggy UI, and my interaction with the phone is smooth, fluid, and fast, the laggy UI is still there but hidden from me?
Those that say the Epic/Galaxy S phones have a smooth UI, you've obviously rooted it, wiped TouchWiz off the phone, done the lag fix, and probably a few other things too. A stock Galaxy S with TouchWiz makes a stock Cliq look fast.

You can't get rid of TouchWiz on Galaxy S phones. All these custom roms that claim it's TouchWiz free still has bits and pieces in it.
Your hate for Touchwiz has blinded you. Touchwiz has lot of refinements Google could really add to their stock OS. Only thing most people don't like about Touchwiz is the home launcher and that can be easily changed by running Launcherpro, ADW, Zeam, etc. Launcherpro with Touchwiz > stock Android.
the fact that you have to do a buncha special shit just to get a smooth user experience with no hiccups and studdering for android phones is a big reason people like iOS phones better. it just works out of the box.
in fact that is why many people like the iphone in general ... great UI and easy to just pickup and use, w/out having to do a buncha shit just to get it the way you like it. it comes the way most people like it.
Pretty much. iOS simply works better out of the box. Nerds might think it's cool to hack and waste time tinkering with trivial stuff but most people want things to simply work.
Yep. The old TW was pretty awful, but TW 3 included with the Galaxy S is actually pretty nice nice. I liked it.
