I think Nokia is coming up with some great hardware for smartphones recently, especially the Lumia 920 but like Josh, I would like the phone to run Android instead of Windows. As an average consumer, I want the variety of apps that are on offer.
I personally prefer using a good over-the-ear headphones even when I play my PS3 games on my home theater system. It's a more convenient setup (I'm lazy), I enjoy it a lot and I don't want others to shout at me because of the noise created during an exciting game play.
