Google's Schmidt: Give an iPhone Owner an Android Device

[rexter]

Gotta say though, I'm not liking Kit-Kat so much, least of all for the shameless corporate sponsorship.
The G+ integration is going to be a killer for me, which sucks hard because I refuse to use an iPoS. I don't want every aspect of my life integrated with social media and especially the web. There is one reason only that I use FB, and that's to get escalated customer support when needed.

Just give me a smartphone and offer apps for the social integration aspects that are optional. I want nothing to do with it otherwise.

Give Windows Store a visit and check Lumia Phone a try. Unfortunately there are things i like on an Android that you can't do on windows phone. if you have Super User installed on your Android device then WP is not for you.

That's my predicament... I root my phone as soon as a ROM is out for it. It's part of the reason for getting one, lord knows I rarely use it as an actual phone.

@drycreamer what a world it would be if everyone shared the same views and opinions, always stuck on one side of the fence. Lol I'm just being honest, i like the optimization and the hardware on the 5s. It reeks of quality, something I've never gotten from android on this level. If you want quantity/ openness android blows iOS away. People just hate on apple because it's the cool thing to do, I was guilty of this too until I said enough with the big ass fablet phones and tried something different...and I think overall they're equal. Positives and negatives to both. But like I said if there were a smaller 4-4.3 inch android with the same quality hardware as the 5s, I'd get it....but there really isn't.

I hate Apple because their phones are hardly better than Android's (this is a matter of perspective, I concede). I've dropped my phone many times and it's held up against an iShatter screen. The OS is fine too, I just dislike the increased integration of social networks. I find 4.7-5" to be the most convenient. Not too small, still fits in a hand, and the pocket is fine too.

Some people hate Apple for a very good reason.

That's good you found the phone for you and I don't hate iPhone either. However, below are the things why iPhone or iPod is not for me.
#1 qwerty keys - I have a hard time knowing if I'm typing on capitals or did it switch to lower keys
#2 especial key settings - especial key settings on android and windows phone are closer to where it located on my computer keyboard
#3 return or back button - when you browse why is the back button on IOS is not in one location?
#4 new iPhone 4 and 5 too small for me, - I have a big hand. I prefer a phone with thickness but I can tolerate slim design. You can argue about typing in one hand but I never type in one hand unless my other hand is pre-occupied on something better. like Beer bottle . As you can tell, there are only minor things I don't like about iPhone but it's the one I'm keen on. Android is the best for texting for me but I don't like to fiddle to much on the settings as I do on my wife's Note 2. don't care much on other features like those palm swipe, smart screen, NFC, sbeam, DLNA, screen mirrong, etc.. If I feel sleep during netflix then I d.eserve it if the battery died.

I think the world would be in a better place if we all shared the same view. It's because its not why we are in chaos.
