Hi all, new guy here!
Anyhow, I was due for a phone upgrade and decided to do it this weekend, here's what happened: I've had my iPhone 3g since day one. Was getting bored with it, then when the iPhone 5 came out, I went and looked at it and wasn't impressed, not "new" enough. At the store I saw, played with and fell in love with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The device is freaking awesome, the 5.5" screen is amazing!!! Here what soured me though:
1) Google Play has (IMO) a lousy selection compared to iTunes. I like a lot of older TV shows (Lost in Space, Night Stalker, etc) and only iTunes has them.
2) Several apps I dowloaded came with, to me, scary security warnings about how my text and/or credit card info could be captured. The devs might have put that in there for legal reasons, but still it worried me that maybe security isn't too tight.
3) The keyboard, excuse my language, SUCKS! Not at all intuitive, it made writing texts, copying & pasting, etc, a real pain. I tried several keyboards, all required too much effort.
Let me say again though, the Note 2 is awesome, and I LOVE that 5.5" screen. What drove me back to the iPhone is that it just works, is intuitive in the controls, and iTunes (IMO) has a superior selection. If Google can improve their offerings, and make the phones controls more user friendly, they'll have a world class product! As it stands right now though, the iPhone is simply the best. At lease to me
