[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1488318, member: 71075"] Absolutely. I'd suggest that regardless of what you choose, you'll be happy and disappointed if you really like both platforms. Switching defaults will always be Android's strength relative to iOS. This isn't necessarily a good or bad thing but if it matters to you, well, it matters to you. ;) Most of that is doable on iOS. I don't use iOS for texting but I have to imagine that there is an SMS app that has what you need (or does this contravene Apple's "no duplicated functionality" rule?). Although I prefer Android's notifications (being able to select certain notifications for removal instead of an all or nothing thing for example), both are pretty close in functionality. Without question. One of the benefits of having a smaller product line. I think that might be more to do with the keyboard but I could be wrong. Either way, Safari is a very capable mobile browser. It works both ways but it would seem that the App Store is better suited to your needs. No store is perfect (stuff has leaked into the App Store) but Apple does do a considerably better job at filtering apps before they hit the market. Surprised that Apple's products integrate with Apple services better than Android? Listen, it looks like you love both platforms for different reasons. I suggest that whatever you decide will give you great joy and disappoint you in some way. I think if you expect that, the decision will be easier because you can then ignore certain smaller issues. Pick the big concern, figure out which platform is better for it, and go with that. [/QUOTE]
