Do you ever miss the phone you came from? (mostly Android peeps)

So I had the Note 10 Plus in Aura Glow and I did enjoy that phone, but switched to the iPhone for multiple reasons. Most of my reasons for the swap deal with updates ( getting them in a timely fashion) and if there is a issue I can go to a true Apple store and talk to someone about it. BUT I'll see a note 10 out in public or when I go through best buy and I'll start to miss that phone and how cool it looked, along with the S-pen. Does anyone else ever miss their old phone??

I can’t say that I have ever missed my previous phones.

My last Android was the Samsung Note 3 and I missed it for about 6 months.

I miss android from the aspect of playing with things. I think most of all I miss my old BlackBerry devices since they worked so well for what they were meant to.

Same here. If I miss any phone it would be the Blackberry phones I had over the years.

The Storm series was unique but it was the curve and the bold series I had the best luck with.

I don't miss my Androids, I love my pro max. It's a great phone for me and works for all things I do with my phone.

The last Blackberry device I had was the original Bold (9000), but my favorite is still the 7290. Typing on it was dream.

I don’t miss anything about any of the Palm devices I had. I think I miss my windows phones, even the Nextel i930 more than a Palm.

What I missed the most about the Palm is webOS which was ahead of the times but now that iOS has adopted most of webOS features I feel more at home in the Apple ecosystem

I miss blackberry devices too. I would t trade my 11 pro Max for one but I do miss those keyboards and the OS.

I certainly don’t miss my old Palm Treo 700, or my Windows 10 Phone. The spontaneous reboots for whatever reason. The software conflicts. Pre-installed apps. Though the Windows 10 Phone was a much better experience than the Palm.

I never had a windows 10 phone.

I never had a windows 10 phone.

I had a Windows 6 Mogul 6500 phone it was basically a shrunken down desktop. Worked ok with the stylus

I think it’s a toss up between my BlackBerry 9900 when all I needed was work email, text, calls, and BBM...and the beginning of BlackBerry 10 before the “app gap” using the Z30

I miss my Lumia 950 XL and my HP Elite Windows phones. Have the 11 Pro Max and the Pixel 3 XL now. OK but not WP's.
