oh wow - it's not a luxury product, it's a product that gives amazing value for a cheap price, which other phone has had the same release price for 5 years, or which other product enjoys such long production runs? is there jellybean available for a 3 year old droid? don't think so, now tell which of the two is more expensive. In a luxury product you pay for nothing more than the brand or logo stuck on top of the phone, batman edition of lumia is an example of a luxury phone.
multiplayer gaming and audio streaming, do a lot of both, 2G is def better than 3G, especially if moving fast in a vehicle, but when roaming the 3G has better rates :/
android has a fraction of the apps available on the platform, the store is incredibly dynamic and there is a lot of movement - that's what it seems you pay the premium for
google maps was always available in 5.x version of the OS
even in 6.x, the web apps for mapping services were always available, even if there was no native app
in any case, Nokia Maps wins the maps round easily, especially for offline turn by turn navigation, think this was the trigger that sent apple scrambling to make their own mapping service
donno google's fault or apple's, but google services have notoriously few native apps on the app store, third parties develop apps for using google services on apple devices... eg: google music, google chat
