I find myself kind of missing my iPhone. There's no specific reason, or single thing - just the overall fluidity and how everything worked pretty well. I didn't have to mess with it, it didn't give random errors etc.

That said, I do love the screen, and notification light, and actually use scrapbook and s-note a decent amount.

Perhaps I need to stick with it longer?

If i did end up wanting to get another iphone, its a shame craigslist feels sketchy to try and trade for a 5S. Might be the only option though. That or ebay?

Anyway, just seeing how other reason converts are feeling about their new toys.

Only issue I have with the Note 3 is faulty wifi connection... I didn't have any problems when I had my previous iPhone. I really don't miss the iPhone because I'm having so much fun learning and using the Note 3.

I gradually been using the pen more, I wasn't a fan of it. But the more and more I use it... It's becoming a joy to use.

So all and all.. I don't miss the iPhone, I do wanna grab a iPad Air or a retina iPad Mini in the near future..

You miss the iPhone just being jailbroke? Or something specific? You could root your Android if you wanted.

I had iPhone and gave it up at iPhone 4...I'll never go back.

You can do more with an Android out of the box than a jail broken iPhone, let alone a rooted Android phone

You could also use swappa to buy and sell phones. Better than eBay since you don't pay any fees :)

I miss iPod but that's really about it. I do get tired of apps closing/malfunctioning. .. but it's a trade off. All and all the Note helps me be more productive at work (I use the spen and memo constantly)

Two things I miss my iPhone for:

1. Bluetooth in the car was handled much better on iPhone. Even if I was listening to the FM radio in the car, my iPhone would come across BT to voice over directions on my phone. Now, I must have my car set to 'BT' to hear the voice.
2. Simplicity and not trying to micro manage battery / settings. I find myself constantly trying to find the best setting and way to get the best battery life yet still maintain functionality. Don't need it per say, but I can tweak it.. so why not? Not sure if it is a negative or a positive lol but it does take time - which I never spent on the iPhone.

Other than that, I am constantly learning things on the Note 3. Definitely couldn't go back to the small screen!

I came from a Z10. Used BlackBerry exclusively for 14 years. I don't miss it in the least. Only issues I have is that the Bluetooth isn't working properly with my in-car unit, but aside from that, there's nothing at all I miss about my Blackberry, nothing.

Well, since I was thinking about my old iPhone I made myself a nice comparison list. The note 3 basically crushed the iPhone like 10 to 1 on features and things i like / use. So, time to leave the past in the past! Just enjoy and explore / learn about the new toy.

Anyway, thanks all.

Not in the least bit. I'm lucky I suppose. I sometime have wifi issues but that's it. The phone connects via blutooth the same way my iPhone with. My battery life is fantastic and I leave my wifi and blutooth on all day long my brightness is always full and I get easily at least 12-14 hours of battery. I have not has a provokes with rogue apps or force closes. I cannot say enough Good things about this phone to any one who asks. So to answer your question no I do not miss my iPhone one bit. I love my Note 3 and after years with iPhones in not going anywhere anytime soon.

Rockin my Note 3

The only think I miss is the native iPhone email client. The stock note 3 one is crap, both in aesthetics and functionality.

Can't find a third party one that comes close to the apple one.

As I use email a lot this is my main bugbear

What functions are you looking for in an email client that are missing? I use my Note 3 all day everyday for email. It's one of the reasons I have this device and why it took me so long to leave BlackBerry behind.

I have been using Touchdown for a few years now and although I don't think it's perfect (UI could use a refresh), it is very good.

I miss my Q10 but the note 3 rocks.
