Android convert

I couldn't wait for the new iPhone so I got the 5 Friday. I must say that I am impressed. This thing is super fast.

Welcome to the iPhone. Great device. I'm sure you'll be very pleased.

What prompted you to switch?

What prompted you to switch?

Mostly the direction android is heading. Too much fragmentation and bs on Verizon

I appreciate the welcome. I have been a member of the iMore community for some time as I bought my wife an iPad mini recently and had the obligatory newbie questions. I must say that most everyone is very helpful with issues and "dumb" questions. I look forward to learning more and more about this operating system as I get used to this phone.

No dumb questions here. We don't think that way. Just ask and we will answer. I am sure your wife will be happy with the iPad Mini. Have a good evening.

Oh yeah if you had the G-Nex toss that crap into the ether! Haha.

She was a decent phone from the word go. It helped me learn the process of rooting and flashing roms. So far I must say that I am enjoying my iPhone experience. No regrets

Congrats and good luck with your new iPhone 5. Nice to hear that you're enjoying it so far.

Congrats on your new iPhone 5. It's an awesome device.

Congrats and welcome aboard! Over the years, I have always gotten curious and tried out different phones (android, wp, even blackberry back in the day), but I have ALWAYS come back to the iPhone. Welcome to a great community and enjoy!

Recently traded an HTC One for a 5. Think I'll be sticking around for a while, this time. I'm not new to iOS, but Android just wasn't doing it for me anymore. I'm really enjoying the 5. I've had the 4S before, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I am the 5. Don't know why. Either way, I'll be here for a while.

The iPhone5 will be even better with iOS7.

Having owned android phones right back when android was invented. Last android was the Xperia Z and an Htc one before that. Have recently returned to iOS with an iPhone 5 and really enjoying the lighter weight and larger 4" screen than my old iPhone 4S I owned last year.
I do miss some of the android world. But looking at ios7. I think this should fill in some of the missing elements. Coming from the Xda forums, this does seem a nice fresh forum

Welcome to iMore. Good luck with your new iPhone 5. As Keith said above, the iPhone 5 will be even better running iOS 7.

My Iphone 5 power button was playing up recently, had to press it a few times for it to work, I drove up to the apple store in Belfast on Saturday, and they replaced it with a new one. I was delighted, love the new phone, but she will be dumped soon for the younger 5s, anyway the moral of the story is, if I had a Samsung I would have been screwed, just a pity no apple store in Dublin or anywhere in the Irish republic

This is exactly why my fascination with the Moto X stopped. Spent some time on the Android forum and its hard to keep the phones and the different OS' straight. There's so many versions of everything. So, I'm sticking with my 5. If the 5S looks good to me, I'll get that.
