When I let go of my iPhone it was because I moved somewhere that AT&T (the only game in town with iPhones at the time) didn't cover; the rural coastline near Native Americans reservations.

So I had to switch to another provider, and let me tell you going from an iPhone to an Android is palatably painful and uncomfortable.

But three years later I still have an cheap Android smartphone. And it still sucks. But I don't carry my phone everywhere anymore. I don't worry about my email anymore. I just take my phone if I need to maps/navigation.

By using a phone I don't like it makes it no problem to leave it behind except when I need it.

I have been following this story, though. My dad taught me a German word: verschlimmbessern.

It describes this situation pretty well.

Let's be honest, the old Android phones really sucked. There was no comparison between iPhone and Android. However, the new ones...there's still no comparison, because now they're both so equal that it's entirely based on personal preference.
