What is your thinking? And no I'm not being a douche. LOL! I want to know because I still haven't ruled out returning my iPhone and going back to Verizon.
There's a lot of reasons, some logical, some emotional:
- The biggest thing for me is AT&T's bandwidth cap. I don't want to be boxed into that. Who knows what the future holds? Just because I'm under 2GB today, doesn't mean I will be next year. Monitoring my bandwidth is just something I'm not interested in doing right now. If I want to see how bad the Brewers lost, then by God, I'm gonna do it and not think "Oh gee, I hope
- Second biggest is the way AT&T and Apple have handled things like privacy, ordering, and techincal problems. It just seems like whenever those 2 companies try to do something together, it just turns into a giant cluster____. And instead of solutions, you just get finger pointing. Then there's the whole white iPhone thing. That really pissed me off. They didn't say a damn thing about the white iPhone not being available at launch until the phone went on sale. Then they just ignored all inquiries about when the white phone would be available for 3 weeks! That's just not a good way to treat your customers. ____, that right there lost them the sale. If the white iPhone came out launch day, I'd have ordered it and had no time to reconsider.
- The antenna issue is real. There are many people who it won't affect because they are in an area that has good signal strength, so their phone can handle the sudden loss of signal when being held. I live in the boonies and would likely not be so lucky.
- I prefer the larger screen of the Droid X. Apple's retina display is really nice, but I'll take larger display over denser pixels in this case.
- Regarding the camera, yeah, the iPhone beats it in picture quality, but the big selling point for me is that the Droid X has a physical button on it to take a photo. This beats the hell out of the iPhone, imo. On my current iPhone, if I want to take a picture, I have to slide to unlock, find the photo app, launch it and hope it doesn't crash (which it does for me, frequently) then point and click somewhere on the touchscreen. With the Droid X, I push the physical camera button once to launch the camera app, point and click that same button again to shoot the photo.
- Google Maps with turn by turn. This will replace my TomTom and it gets free map updates from google.
- Live backgrounds are pretty cool.
- No syncing. Everything but media syncing happens over the air for free. Apple charges $99 for this, and their service is pretty shoddy in my experience.
- I want to learn to develop Android apps. I've already got my hands dirty on the iPhone and iPad, and will continue to develop apps for that platform. However, there aren't many people out there who develop for both platforms. I want to be one of those few people.
- It's different. I've been on the iPhone for 3 years now and not a whole lot has changed. Android is different from what I'm used to, so that's exciting for me.
So there's a couple reasons. I'm sure I left out a bunch. It's not a decision I'm going to advocate until after I've gotten a few months with it. And I'm sure, even after that, it's not something I would recommend to my mom or another non-techie type.
It's everywhere else that seems to be the problem. Also people say I sound like I'm on speaker phone now even when I'm not.
