Switched From AT&T iPhone to Verizon Razr

Apple's market revolves around "simplicity" ever since the iMac. However in my opinion, its too "simple" that it annoys me... one button, wtf? But if you were to compare the two phones, the Razr exceeds the iPhone in almost every aspect, the trick is knowing how to use it. The Razr can do just about anything an iPhone can as well and droids have a larger app market, especially free apps.

Main thing to know is the four buttons on the bottom. Home, Back, Menu/Settings, Search. The home button is just like that one single button on the iphone, it returns you to the home screen. The back button returns you to wherever you were before where you are currently, one step at a time (hope that makes sense). It can also close you out of where you are at. The menu/settings button is useful for just about any app or page that your currently at to bring up the options, preferences, or settings. And the search button well... searches. You can search for specific words in a long list of txt messages from a friend, type a URL, or search contacts, etc... Thats pretty much the basics. Remember too that if you hold something on the touch screen for a couple of seconds it can bring up options too.

A couple things that might help... download the app called "boat browser", its a similar browser to iphone... might make things easier. Android is open source which means just about anything on the phone can be changed, you can make almost everything on your home screen look like an iphone if you wanted to. It would just be a theme to download on the app market.

Hope this helps, it just takes getting used to. Also as mentioned before... look up youtube videos for help.

Android does NOT have more apps than apple. And the droids can DO everything an iPhone can, the iPhone just does it better and smoother.

As of now, they are very close. Apple has a few more apps, but most of them are useless, and cost money, where as the android market has mostly free apps.

Correction, "more free apps" -> http://www.androidauthority.com/android-now-has-the-most-free-apps-in-the-world-13528/
A big reason for that is the cost to have the apps on the market compared to the store.

Today, I went to Verizon today and turned in the Razr and paid the difference for an iPhone. The iPhone will be shipped in a few days.

From what I have heard, the Droid Razr was maybe an advanced phone (except for camera) over the 4S, but the 4S was easier to use.

When you get older, you like BIG colorful pictures and BIG letters so you can hit the target ... Oh ... and the simpler ... the better ...

The weird thing about this whole phone deal is ... my wife got her first smart phone at the same time (last Monday) ... she got the Motorola Bionic (I think) and she loves that thing and is learning it more everyday ... and my wife knows nothing about computers ... go figure ...
