This morning my old iPhone 5S quit on me. I went out and bought a Samsung S7. Gotta say... I hate it. I hate change. I can't figure a damn thing out. I'm sure it has some cool features, but I doubt I'll ever find them. Lol

My opinion may change in a week. But day one sucks.
 
Don't be afraid of change. You went from an automatic car to a stick shift, it'll be a little more complicated at first, but you can do a lot more with it than an iPhone.

Change is a good thing.

That is a great analogy. Apple takes the approach that "We know what's best" (for you), and to a certain extent I agree, but have always heard the androids are much more customizable.
I've been apple my entire smartphone life - ten years - and am reluctant to change, but I'm going to take a hard look at the Samsung edge 8 vs the Iphone 8 (when it arrives).

Hey Juggs
I was in New Mexico last year and was interviewing an old movie producer who had a killer house in the middle of nowhere full of antiques

But the old phonebooth installed in his house was by far the coolest thing i saw

Maybe we can all go back to payphones? It is an option :LOL:

Music is as easy as drag and drop anywhere no need for I tunes. you can turn on or off auto correct spelling and download a different keyboard if you like all without I tunes directly from google play. Give it some time "Sparky" you will be fine. Have Cassidy watch a you tube video and explain it to you.....DUH!
 
Well that didn't last long. I said the hell with that phone and bought me an IPhone. lol I just couldn't do it

Androids are completely customizable, you can change pretty much everything. When the price of the 8 comes down I will probably get it, $30-$35 a month for the next two years knowing that they will roll out at least 2 more Galaxy editions rubs me the wrong way even though I can afford the 8 or 8 Plus. My 5 is still fantastic and with the updates it works perfectly.

I started on a Blackberry way before the iPhone came around. Eventually when Blackberry came out with the Storm, their touchscreen phone, I got one. I went right to an Android from there a couple of years later. I tried an iPhone for two weeks back when Verizon would let you try a new phone for 30 bucks or so for two weeks, but went back to Android because the iPhone's lack of customization.

If you take the time to learn how to tweak it, and as mentioned there are a ton of vids online to help, you'll like it. From my experience I have met more people that have gone from an iPhone to Android and stayed versus the other way around.

A lot of iPhone users end up getting Android phones that have a faulty operating unit. The way to tell is let the screen go dark and then hold it up and look at it to see the problem.

:whistle:
