I can accept the touchscreen for its broad utility, but poor UI is intolerable. Like how Android keeps covering up the dial pad button in the phone app with inane messages about duplicate contacts. When I want to dial a phone number, sometimes I need to do it “right now”, and I don’t care about duplicate contacts or whatever stupid thing it wants to nag me about. Put that shit in my notifications so I can deal with it in my own time, or just swipe it away.
Don’t get me started on text selection on iThings.

Yes, yes, and yes. The android phone app is a case study in ergonomics failure. It boggles the mind and clearly shows how smartphones are not phones anymore but pocket browsers.
