Possibly going from Iphone to Android

[AD720]

The contacts are easy if all you use is goggle to sync them. If you use an exchange server and google (like me) you need to be on top of it as things can get confusing. The contacts system is the weakest link as it doesn't deal well with duplicates.

The notification system for Android is FAR superior to the iPhones, at least for me. That is the number one reason I would not want an iPhone. I do have an iPod touch I play on so I am familiar with the system. The issues is that with the iPhone you have 2 choices with any notifications - do what it wants or don't - this is an issue especially when there are multiple notifications stacked up (I like to call it iPuke), so I do the first thing and then it wants me to the next thing so it stops the first thing, then it wants the third thing and stops the second thing, etc. With android I can look at it and decided if I want to do what it wants or if I don't. I just slide down the notifications bar and look at it, or however many there are and decided which one I want to do first. If I want to come back alter and accept it or not I can.

The real dealbreaker is the complete and total inability to be reminded more than once of a missed call. I am on call 24/7, 365 days a year. If I miss a call I can set up my Droid to nag me every minute until I acknowledge it. This is just not an option with the iPhone. Due to the iPhones restrictions on "background" apps developers can't even write apps to do that. There are a couple programs that do this but you have to start the app and have it running in the foreground for it to work, which means every time I put down my phone, put it in my pocket, go to the restroom, go to bed, I have to remember to start this app. That is a non-starter for me.
