Hi all. I am looking for some basic help/assistance please. So with the post topic here many can assume the obvious that I am a current Android user and have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus that I got in December when it came out. I am not a basher either way on the products.
However with that said I am tired of waiting for updates to come and the battery life well is horrible. Also I get my led to blink but the text or whatever didn't make it through.

So this Friday I am going to make my way to a Verizon store and grab the Iphone 5 and possibly be an Apple user for the first time in my life.

So a few questions. I currently use Google for everything and am wondering on the transfer of contacts, calendar, etc? My employer relies on Google as well so I use it daily. My contacts have pictures with them so if I set the phone up to transfer from Gmail/Google will that all transfer over or would it be best to start fresh like another topic on here and build anew?

But then when I put in my Gmail address what will happen? Will it ask if I want to sync? Eventually I will want to.

If there is any other advice I should or need to know please share with me. Thank you.

Brian
