Finally have to get a smart phone

[Steven P Jobs]

I disagree with the statement in bold. Sorry man but I switched back to iPhone because of how terrible the default email app is for Android. Both my company and my personal email are google apps accounts to boot...

My main phone is an iPhone, but when I travel I use an old Samsung Galaxy S (unlocked and takes regular sim cards, thank god prepaid data is cheap in most European countries now) running ICS and I much prefer how Android handles GMail. It implements the ways in which GMail differs from standard IMAP (tags, priority inbox, etc) much better than the iPhone client. I don't like how Android puts a lot of stuff in menus that you just have to look through once, but it's not the biggest deal. I can see why others would prefer the iPhone version of GMail though.

That being said for almost every other thing I prefer my iPhone.


I've never used roundcube, but you should look into this: http://roundcubemobile.com/
It runs on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry, and they have a demo that you can try before buying it.


With regards to texting without a hardware keyboard, I can text just as fast now on my iPhone and Galaxy S as I could back when I had a BlackBerry. It takes some time getting used to though, and some people are dead set on hardware keyboards, which I can understand. It's just that you have to give up a lot of other stuff to get that keyboard.
