I have had an android phone for about a year. Before that I had an iphone. But switched after hearing about how much better android phones are. Since then I have severely regretted the decision in almost every aspect except that I am no longer paying AT&T for service.
Admittedly, my phone is a cheap model (HTC Hero) but my iphone which I bought 2 years earlier was no more expensive than this hunk of junk.
Here are my top and most recent complaints.
1) Making calls can take a long time (is this a factor of my network?) Sometimes when I press “call” nothing happens for 10 seconds or more, so I hit “call” again and end up with 2 live calls. This never happened on iphone. This sucks.
2) When I look on the map and want to see ‘my location’, 9 times out of 10 i get the message ‘your current location is not available’. If I reboot the phone (see 3) then the location works after the reboot. What’s up with that?
3) rebooting the phone takes about 4 minutes. What is this, windows 3.1? my cheapy iphone takes about half the time.
4) if i type in a number but don’t hit “call”, by the time i walk outside, the phone has gone into “sleep” mode. Fine, but the number I typed in is gone. Now I have to go back inside and look up the number again so I can go outside and make a call. I don’t want to store this number permanently, just keep it in the buffer when you go to sleep mode, phone!
ugh… looking forward to getting back on the iphone full time…. sorry android people.
