In all fairness to carracerz14, the OP has posted nothing but issues with his phone. We've been trying to help him out for awhile.
I don't know if he has a dud phone or it's just user error, but he shouldn't be having these basic issues, and the complaints he has are vague, such as "apps lack basic features" but no details and "mail cannot be displayed" but no details (like...what mails? What app has he tried? Are they from a specific sender, is it all emails, just some, are they HTML emails, etc?). What about transferring music? Yeah, he mentions he's having trouble, but why? What is he trying to get music from? iTunes? A PC? His iPod? What app(s) is he trying? Even if it's iTunes (as I suspect it is), is he using Doubletwist? What kind of issues is he having? Was he aware when he was buying music from iTunes (assuming that's where the music is from) of the DRM they put in place and that he might have issue getting his music into anything else? Apple is king of tying you into their ecosystem and making it as hard as possible to get your stuff out. That's why I (and many people) avoid iDevice specific stuff like the plague (like why would I ever buy an iBook that only works on Apple devices when I could use Kindle and it works on everything....likewise with music...why would I ever buy it through iTunes when I could use Amazon or Google and have it work on everything?)
For the games he's concerned about, which ones is he using? What "basic features" are lacking that apparently the app on his iPod has? Has he read the reviews? Has he asked for recommendations in the apps/games forum?
Sorry, not trying to be difficult, but when asking for help, you need to provide some details rather than just vague references to things not working.
Anyways, maybe it is best he gets an iPhone. I mean, I don't like it, but many people think it's simple. I disagree and think Android is simpler, but that's me. Just some examples:
- Android apps crash less (surprising, but iOS is not more stable): Do iOS Apps Crash More Than Android Apps? A Data Dive - Forbes
- You have to do things from certain places in iOS. For example, do you want to send a picture as an attachment on an email? You can't do it from the email. In fact, you can't attach anything from the email app. You have to go to your gallery, and attach it to an email from there, and even then you can only attach one (so to share 5 pictures I have to send 5 mails). On Android, you can do it from either place (the email app or the gallery app...and attach as many as I want). Do you want to share a picture to Facebook? Well, you can't do it from the gallery (at least until iOS6 comes out, supposedly, but what if you want to share it with Instagram? Well, maybe in iOS7 in 2014/15 they'll add that...and then maybe Flikr in iOS8 in 2014/15). What about editing a picture with your favorite photo editing app? Can't do that from the gallery either...gotta be in the app. Android has sharing down pat...I can do it from the app side or the gallery/file side, and to any app I have installed. They've done it right.
- Want to add a word to the dictionary? Depending on your keyboard, it's typically one press on Android (I use Swype, and it's just a matter of typing in the word and pressing "add to dictionary" and I can do it anywhere that allows me to type. On iOS, you have to back out of whatever app you're typing in, go into settings, into general, keyboard, shortcuts, then add them from there (yes, it's buried 4 deep into a menu). Why is it so complicated?
I could go on. iOS is not as user friendly as people make it out to be...by a long shot. I suspect people think this because it's just a screen of icons so it looks simple. Looks are deceiving. I get extremely frustrated with my iPad. Heck, just last night, I found out if I'm viewing a YouTube video in a web page or in an app, you can't add it to your favorites. Why the hell not? Why do I have to be in the YouTube app to save it to my favorites? I can on Android. So on my iPad I have to make note of the video, exit my app, go into the YouTube app, do a search, and add it to my favorites from there. Pain in the ass.
You have to jump through hoops to do pretty much anything. Android has the business layer down pat....if you're looking at a picture, Android knows you might want to save it, share it (to any app that can handle a picture), edit it, etc. iOS thinks you might want to email it or Tweet it. That's it. Oh wait...in iOS6 (in several months), they'll let you share it to Facebook too. Whoopee. Let me know when I can share a picture with any app I have installed that will handle a picture. Let me know when I can click on name or address in a web browser or another app and the OS will recognize I might want to view that address on a map, or call them, or drive there or see what's nearby or add it to my contacts. Then iOS will be where Android was at 3 years ago. Don't make me jump through hoops to do things. Recognize what I'm looking at and give me options for all the stuff I might want to do with that type of content. That's the power of Android.
Sorry for going off. I just don't understand this iOS "ease of use" nonsense and disagree completely with it.
As for the OP (or anyone else), I highly suggest viewing these videos before thinking about going to the iPhone (long but worth it):
