Awesome, thanks.

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:
(Works a million times better with Android than iOS, btw.)

I've got a GS4 as a business only phone and use an iPhone 5s for my main phone. There are aspects of the GS4 that are really nice. It is still a really big screen with a very sharp image on it. Most of the apps that I need and use are pretty much the same across the two platforms.
I find that with Android I'm always hunting for the feature I need, mainly because each version of Android is just a little bit different, and there there's all the customizing that manufacturers do. I also have a GS3 and an HTC One that a couple of my employees use when we are busy. Very nice solid phones, but even between the GS3 and the GS4 the OS feels very different, and I think they are just different flavors of Jelly Bean.

On a different front, is anyone else using the Mail App under OS X Mavericks with Gmail? My business and personal domains actually have the email handled by Google Apps in the background and it looks like Googles non-standard implementation of IMAP has completely frelled things. I run a ton of filters to move messages into specific mailboxes as they hit my Inbox and not what Mail is doing is making a copy of the message into the filter location and leaving another copy of it in my Inbox tagged as unread.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
gmail with Mail on Mavericks is broken I hear.
I have not upgraded to Mavericks because I understand that a lot of Pages functionality has been removed as well. That's a non-starter.
