What Smart Phone Do You Have? Do You Like it? Would You recommend It?

When I first used a Mac, the functions seemed really backwards to me, but now Windows seems backwards to me. So I think its really what you're used to.

IMO, I think iOS is easier to use because the menu functions aren't hidden like Android is. With Android you have to use the capacitive buttons to access functions of the app, whereas iOS has the functions in the app's UI.

I do agree it's just what you're used to. Used Macs for years until switching to Windows a few years ago. Now Mac seems alien and I feel right at home in Windows.

Android users will find iOS just as confusing as iOS users find Android. When you're used to hitting the menu button, it becomes second nature, and looking around the edges of the screen for the appropriate function is confusing. The inverse is also true; longtime iOS users probably don't think to hit the menu button or to long-press on things to access certain functions.

So far I have never used an OS, desktop or mobile, that is completely free of confusion. There are always quirky little things that drive you nuts. Early versions of Android were pretty bad, as were early versions of Windows, but they've caught up and now it's really just a matter of personal preference and what you're used to.

HTC HD2, it's great. Runs WM6.5, Android, WP7 and other OSes.

If only their next update looked exactly the same, but with better cpu/gpu/hardware. Everything else is what I expect a phone to be. Especially the part about having real buttons for call/hangup, which is fading from other smartphones.
