So I work in Real Estate and think using an Android device is a mistake for those who do. Here is why:
iMessage...this allows you to know if the recipient received or read your message. iMessage allows you to know if you have connected with a cell phone many times by turning the bubble blue. iMessage is used by the majority of the people I communicate with both personally and professionally. I feel there truly is a stigma associated with being the green bubble. When you message and the message is blue you truly feel good you have the correct mobile number, when its green you don't know if you messaged a landline or and Android. You can transfer full quality files. If you use a Mac you are able to message from it which I do nearly as much as I do from my iPhone. Your phone ringing from the kitchen and you are in your office? No problem, answer it from your Mac.
There is no draw back...in other words with an iPhone you can communicate in any way and Android can as well. Both this does not hold true the other way around.
Facetime....I Facetime with clients very frequently. If you are in the business of communicating with the public and you don't have the tools to communicate the most convenient way for your clients, you have a problem. If my client used an Android, no problem, I can use any video call app he/she uses most likely. If my client has an iPhone every time it will be Facetime which had I used an Android would leave me asking a client to download some third party app (not good).
One more thing. Lets say you use an iPhone now. You decide to go Android and turn off facetime and imessage to make the switch. You will lose contact with people. When the othr person replies to your message thread that was used through imessage its likely you wont get it on your new Android. I found this out the hard way when I sat down at my Mac later in the afternoon and opened my computer to see messages on my Mac I never received on my Android. The old thread would have to be deleted on the other persons phone and they would have to re text you which is not an option when dealing with a high number of prospects, clients etc.
I know you all know what an iPhone/Mac does but my point is if you work with the public in a way that I do, going Android is a mistake.
