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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Here are my top and most recent complaints.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
3) rebooting the phone takes about 4 minutes. What is this, windows 3.1? my cheapy iphone takes about half the time.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
ugh… looking forward to getting back on the iphone full time…. sorry android people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
