For the past several years, after the demise of my beloved Lumia 1520 phone which ran Windows 10 Mobile, I have been using an iPhone. But it isn’t really my favorite, given some of the issues I have had, both with it’s usage of iCloud and just some other random weirdness.

For the past month, I have been using a Galaxy Note 8, which is an Android phone. It does almost everything that the iPhone does, minus two things. Plus, it allows me to do text messaging from my computer. Which I can do on the iPhone, but only if I have a Mac. Which I do not have.

It’s been an experience making the switch. Because I had used iPHone for so long, many of my contacts only sent me messages using iMessage. So I had to deregister my iMessage which was tied to my phone number.

For me, it’s been working almost flawlessly, and I am 95% sure I will stay with the Android platform.

Time will tell.
