My phone isn't taking a charge so I'm checking out the options.
1. Galaxy s5 or iphone
alternatively
2. Lumia 1020
Being used to iOs and the iphone, what have been the features you either miss or love in iOs/android/windows?
I haven't played with Android much other then on someone elses device to check out the basics. I like the iphone and when I started using it with retina it was great but since they basically keep repacking the same thing I feel the hardware hasn't improved much. I'd like a bigger screen for browsing the web, but I'm not sure how that translates into pocket size and if it would be irritating. I have bought some iOs apps which would be a slight nuisance but will not affect this decision.
Some of my thoughts.
I like visual studio so it could be fun to play around with a windows phone but I'm not 100% sure if I'm ready to make the switch. I don't mind, actually I have pretty much enjoyed some of the new features under the win8 changes (I generally use the desktop anyway).
The galaxy s5 is appealing since the hardware is great, older android oses which I briefly tried were primitive feeling (several years ago) compared to iOS but I believe the new android os is more polished. I have experience with lumia 800 or 900 which was windows phone 7.5 iirc. It was ok, but not convincing enough to make the switch for me.
Since I've generally kept the phone for a while (1-2 yrs) I am not sure if I should make the switch or not. The iphone was good but lately feels lackluster and really isn't that impressive anymore.
