    I greatly appreciate all the helpful comments and advice! Unfortunately due to a recent 2000 dollar vet bill for my dog, any phone switching is going to have to wait awhile. I've checked out a boat load of the suggestions y'all chimed in with and when I do manage to make the switch, I think it...

    Couldn't have said it better myself. It's the complete lack of forward progress and innovation with iOS. It seems that they found a formula that works for an admittedly large number of consumers and have just been recycling it ever since. That's how a company gets their lunch eaten...

    Excellent point, my iPad is strictly a consumption device. Zero productivity. I read on it, I surf the internet on it and watch Netflix, Amazon instant video etc on it. As it stand now I have very few apps in common between my iPad and iPhone. My phone is geared more towards communication...

    I've done a fair bit of playing around with the HTC and I've yet to notice any UI lag or stuttering. I do get the random app that crashes back to the springboard on my iPhone, usually around once a week or so. I know there are some differences in apps between the two platforms but thats on the...

    :D Awesome post chocked full of info, thank you! I'm an absolute tinkerer of things. I tend to get fidgety after a while and I'll most likely stick with HTC's sense that comes on the device until I've gained some experience and some solid knowledge of the platform. Then the tinkering begins...

    No worries, not taken as rudeness. And any decision is absolutely mine and mine alone. I've already decided to try Android and I have absolutely no problem tapping into other users knowledge in an area where my knowledge is lacking in order to make my decision an informed one. As for judging my...

    So here's what I'm thinking so far. Migrate contacts and calendars to Google. That takes care of that. Use something along the lines of double twist or iSyncr to allow me to still use itunes to organize my music. As much of a beating as iTunes takes it performs exceptionally on my laptop and...

    Nice, I've heard of Double Twist but I havent run across iSyncr. I'll check that one out too. Does anyone happen to have any experience with both? Camera really isnt a selling point for me, I'm not a huge picture taker. As long as the pictures are clear and help me remember times in my life...

    iOS user thinking of switching

    Well I haven't pulled the trigger yet, I'm still doing a ridiculous amount of reading and researching. I'm mainly bored to tears with iOS. Apple hasn't stepped up in response to the Android platform and is getting left behind. They still make great products, and the iPhone 5 is a great device...

    Greetings all, This will be my first post in a forum other than an Apple forum! I apologize for what may turn into a text wall but I need some help in my decision making and what better place to turn to than the Internet? I've been a long time Apple user (more than a decade) and an...
