I have had a droid and will never  bother again. I went back to an I pone and it was so much better my girlfriend  is planing to ditch her galaxy s4 and get an I phone herself.  there is so much more accessibility with the I phone. in fact, the experience I had with the droid made it literally impossible to type n the device. as soon asit says the letter it jumps into this weird extra symbols mode you can not get out of.  the I phone ors that as well, but only after ryou stay on certain letters for a few seconds. I think hat should be something you can disable, but you can’t even with the eyes free keyboard on the droid, and not on the I phone either so far, but o the I phone I can still type.  the I phone also lets you  use handwriting mode or dictation, which works almost flawlessly. Better than what you are reading here I suspect

Sure the iPhone can be easily controlled by a PC or Mac including turning the accessibility features on but I'm sure this can be done in Android's TalkBack as well, think its only a matter of learning how. Not totally ditching Apple, just like to try something new and if it doesn't work out, well I got 14 days to return the G2 once I pick it up and could get an iPhone 5C.
