Ok, so I rarely visit this side of the mobilenations spectrum. I am an avid Apple user and have had every iteration of the iPhone since it's launch, but I didn't upgrade to the 5. I am still using my 4S and it is definitely starting to feel dated. The biggest thing that stopped me from jumping onto the 5 was the screen, the length increase an awkward dimension. None the less this leaves me here. I am hoping you guys don't throw me in the shark tank for being an Apple guy on an Android board.
So here is my situation. I am seriously considering getting a Nexus 4 when they are available, and when it was first announced I had my Visa in hand waiting to order, but I started to think about the changes I would have to make and this is what brings me here. I want a new device, my hardware seems old and dated and iOS is starting to look boring to me. It has been the same since day 1 and the interface is just meh at this point. Seems like a no brainer to switch, but I am heavily invested in the Apple world I am looking for suggestions on how to get out / switch. 1) the storage constraint seems very troubling to me. I have over 40GBs of music on my 4S and I intend to keep it on my device and if at all possible would like to keep everything as one, IE, phone, music player etc on one, as opposed to just using my phone as an iPod. 2) iCloud. I have iCloud email, contacts, calendars and notes. Is there any easy transition to Google's services with this ? 3) Syncing to computer - as I said, I am invested. Currently I am typing this on a Retina Macbook Pro and I know things like doubletwist exist, just not sure how good they are. So I guess overall I am just looking for suggestions as to how to make the switch, and maybe any pros / cons from people who have made the switch.
I appreciate it for anyone who decided to bear through my essay.
