In short, my original Android phone (an LG Lucid POS) was purchased because it wasn't Apple which is IMHO over-hyped to a fare-thee-well and the "image" they convey to me is simply no where near who I am anyway. I have since graduated to a Droid RAZR Max HD 32GB which works very well still, plus a Nexus 7 (2012). My wife, my son and his wife all use Apple products (like lemmings actually lol) so I have some real experience with iOS8 (and earlier) and I can say that I think it really is a clunky, obtuse and illogical operating system in my mind.
I guess to be fair, I am a long time (since the early 1980s) programmer and currently a SQL Server database administrator and programmer so perhaps I am biased?
