looks like i won't be switching to the htc one now
Off someone else's post (especially this one)? Don't do that to yourself man...HTC One might be perfect for YOU.

Elaborate on "Apple's" LTE/3G implementation? I'm a bit confused as to someone having a regret about such...
@revtech...you can see it pretty clearly that they are trying to sort of mesh the communities together with these, cross threading from forum to forum. I don't think it's going to have the results they think it will though, lol.
I think folks making a whole topic for when they leave a platform is ridiculous. I switched my iPhone 5 for the LG Optimus a few days ago, but switched silently
How was he supposed to make a few custom adjustments to;I read the post from the guy who switched. It appears that the user prefers to be an appliance operator like most iphone users. All of his issues could have been resolved by simply making a few custom adjustments. That's the beauty of Android.
-Couldn't get phone to work well with car which is important to me, petty, I know
-I use an Otterbox and it made it near impossible with one hand
-I find the Iphone Camera to be better quality as I like zooming further than HTC would allow
-Too much clutter, IE Blink Feed and Gallery
-I like the way Mac/Iphone/Itunes sync seamlessly
Android does not offer the level of sync that iOS does. Not by a long shot... Can you swap devices and have your exact icon layout and apps as your previous device without plugging in the phone. Can you start a conversation on your phone and pick up where left off on your tablet or laptop? The same with games? Can you download a track and automatically find it on your other devices when you get home?First and foremost..I am not a fanboy of either operating environment...I have 4 tablets, 2 apple, 2 android. I've had every iPhone, and most top tier android device. Of course you Guys left the one for the iPhone. Have you not read the reviews of the sense UI that HTC uses? Year after year it gets slated as a subpar android system. I can't argue with your decision on the iPhone. The idea that app,e has a superior sync environment for music, pictures, docs, whatever is a fairy tale...I use both, interchangeable and with one another meaning all my content syncs between both environments seamlessly. The HTC is pretty, but how many of you are riding bareback? I see people with otterboxes and all other assortments of cases that hide that beautiful unibody from the day of purchase..same with the iPhone...all the really shows is the screen. Don't misunderstand me...if the phones could resist the impact of my repeated drops, I would fly without a case and al of these exterior design arguments would carry some merit. Until that time I think that argument should be flushed...I'm not advocating you do like I did and get the galaxy s4 (it's a better phone save the metal back) but come up with some real standards for comparison. The nexus 4 is also has a premium exterior finish and a pure google operating system that makes the sense UI laughable. Honestly did any if you that tried the phone give the google system full immersion the same way you did apples ecosystem. You can't purchase an android phenomenon as a replacement for an iPhone and expect that it fill in the gaps seamlessly the way your Iphone did...if you are a power user for work and integrate with multiple clouds services android works more effectively and efficiently. I love my retina mb pro, my iMac, my iPads, and my Apple TV...but I also love my gs4 and how it integrates with all of these and every other connected device in my home. If you buy nothing but apple more power to you...but don't pretend you can provide any helpful information to someone interested in exploring a broader world.
A great discussion has sparked up over in the Android Central Forums, started by a member that switched from iPhone 5, to HTC One and back again within 2 weeks. Member fettym outlined some great points as to why they ultimately decided to stick with the iPhone, as well as some of the more positive aspects of the HTC One.
We've featured this on the main blogs here, but wanted to jump in and bring the discussion over to the iMore Forums. Have you switched to another platform? Did you switch back? What made you make the jump in the first place? What made you come back?
Let us know either here in this thread, or in the comments on the post!
2. Many apps were poor replacements for the iOS versions. ...
5. I didn't find the widgets very useful. They were just app shortcuts most of the time that looked pretty, used up resources, and drained the battery. ...
The apps are just of lower quality. I miss SwiftKey3, Apple please buy them and replace the iOS keyboard. Notification center on Android is also vastly superior. ...
I came to this conclusion... But my phone has to be reliable 100% of the time. I use my phone far more than anything else. I want it to be simple yet powerful. The iPhone IMO is the only device at this time that fits that need.
I have an iPhone 4 and currently have an HTC One on order. I'm leaving for the bigger screen. I tried the iPhone 5 a while back but returned it because of the wifi issues. If I thought they had that fixed, I'd try another 5, but there still seems to be problems. I like the iPhone, sure there are a few things that annoy me, but overall I'm very happy with it. However, that large screen is just too tempting.
