Yah but that's the problem
"Now for any tech-savvy person I whole-heartily recommend the Android. It's just too much fun to mess with" - because you *always have to mess with it*
I have had a droid for about 6 months now & I hate it. I *really* *really* wish I had sprung the extra $10 a month and gone for the iPhone, because that's what the Galaxy SII is: a wannabe iPhone.
It's slower. MUCH slower. It's more complicated. I can never find the settings I want. It has trouble - no, it *FREAKIN ALWAYS* has trouble connecting to WiFi networks. The desktop software takes FIVE MINUTES just to open, and about another 8 minutes to synchronise. THIRTEEN MINUTES TO GET MY calendar synched! Are you kidding! And in the half year I've had it, I've had to factory-default the phone 4 times to get it to even synch at all, because it would periodically just get stuck partway through the process.
Every software upgrade is a *huge* download. Every synch is a *huge* palaver. Oh, and calendar entries made on the phone don't get synched back to Outlook.
Anybody worked out I don't like Android?
Four years and a couple of phones ago, when I had an STC S710 (Windows 6 or 7 mobile, I don't recall) it used to sync in SECONDS. Make a change in the calendar, wait a little while, see the little wheelie-thing go whirly-whirly, synched. Android? Manual process. Wait 8 minutes. Only works one way. Bah. But I'm on contract, the only way to upgrade is make a huge cash payment and get out of the obligation. Sucks.
