Do you plan to hack any of it? iWhatevers tend to be more easy to brick if you're doing anything fun (like attempting to foil the NSA). If not I wouldn't bother switching for what amounts to a similar setup with a marked downgrade in interface quality.

YMMV.

I went from an old iPhone to a Droid.

Apple has a better interface, period. I'll slag the fucking things all night long, but I'll give credit where credit is due.

The Droid is just more versatile, in the same way a PC is more ubiquitous than a Macintosh. It's just like switching from a Mac to a PC.

And, like a PC, it's a helluva lot cheaper. Less idiot proof, but more bang for your buck.

I've just gotten my first smartphone, an HTC One, and I think it's great...... compared to my previous not-so-smartphone. Only drawback is that it won't play nicely with my Mac.

The new iPhone 5S might be my next phone though...

As a music lover, I loathe iTunes. Won't have anything to do with it.

you mean your apple maps that you were trying to read off the gas tank as you veered toward the guardrail on the way last year while my sexy google voice whispered sweet asphalt nothings in my ear? That map?

Glad you finally cut loose of the over-consumerized soul sucking wretch

Any updates?


Android phone and Mac computers has been my set up for few years, since G1 came out, but always looking to improve

there are draw backs like the fact that my new phone (now a year old S3) does not like my old Mac (or any Mac) which is the Samsung's way of saying FUCK YOU to Apple, all previous HTC's worked fine, I could just drag and drop the media files from iTunes in to phone's music folder, now I need an App and some patience since it takes a while and only can be done via Wi-Fi (can't connect via USB at all)

I use a stock Nexus 4 and have considered trading up to a MotoX (which would mean going back on contract) or a buying a new N5 when it comes out. Waddya think of the MotoX?

Matpoc, there are apps (the names of which I forget at the moment) that streamline phone to computer transfers, probably worth looking into. I have a macbook air and used one such app that was pretty handy with my old SGS2.

Check out Republic Wireless. I've got a Defy XT through them. I pay $29/mo for unlimited everything, no contract. They've since lowered their prices on the Defy (bastards).

They'll have the Moto X in November. $299 for the phone, and four no-contract switchable plans. The juicy one (for me at least, since I don't have use for 4G) would be $25/mo for unlimited everything.

Work used to supply our phones, so earlier this year when they quit, we got to keep the hardware. I had the chance to swap my basic android for a 4s, so I thought I'd see what it was like in the apple collective.

When my ifone is damaged beyond repair, I'm leaving the cult of Apple. I just don't understand the product lust, especially after the new OS update. My Siri is now worse and my phone likes to do a soft reset at random times.
