Learned something new. Game Stop sells refurbished iPhones. CJ was able to get an iPhone 4 with his house sitting money. Now we just need to get it activated. Too much phone crap today.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Hey. New board.
Jessica, not that I know of. Especially since different versions of android have significant interface differences. The key things for ios users to get used to seem to be "dont forget your apps are in the app drawer not on the main home screen" and "remember the menu button is there and click it for more options"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jess, here's lifehacker's take on it: [link] I haven't actually read it, but if it's true to form, there will be gold in the comments.

Jess, I'll be super interested to see what you think about your new phone. I am considering jumping ship from the iPhone too.

I'm going to give it a week, but I think (sadly) my hands are too small for a phablet. I may be trading it in for a GS4 or HTC One.

I know the trend is for bigger, but I miss the pocket-sized flip phones.

I *love* the big screen (multiple windows!!), but it's really hard to use one-handed, which is important for subway commutes where I don't get a seat!

Yeah, I think my problem is that while I love the bigger screen (I got an iPad mini for my vacation and I love the size), I don't like holding it up to my ear to make phone calls.

Me neither, that's why I bought this to go with it:
