[id-android] Size matters: how I went from an iPhone to a really big Android phone

Pengalaman seorang pengguna biasa (wanita)
yang karena Terpaksa harus memakai android,
karena iphone-nya kecemplung di toilet.
lumayan seru buat dibaca...


Late on the night of September 9th, 2012, I was sitting at my kitchen table, going over notes for a piece I was writing about video game arcades.
The next morning at 6AM I was bound for an Amtrak train which would take me to Pennsylvania, then to Baltimore, on a four-day trip of interviews for the piece.
I was packed and ready for bed. I was exhausted, and as I brushed my teeth, thought of the next day's work.

I'd like to be able to say that I went peacefully to bed,
my iPhone tucked underneath my pillow as I was wont to do,
but that isn't what happened.
What happened, instead, was a series of events involving my phone, a toilet, and a bowl of rice at 1AM.
As I removed the SIM card from the phone and buried it in rice, still vibrating and refusing to power down,
I didn't know that my phone was definitely, totally, completely dead.

I went to bed angry at myself for dropping my phone into a toilet

In horror, I quickly and hastily chose from among the dozens of tester phones I am routinely surrounded by.
I passed up a Windows Phone as too foreign since I have so little experience with them,
and settled on a European version of the HTC One S.
It was bigger than my iPhone, which I didn't like,
but it was close enough in size that I thought I could manage for the unavoidable four days of hell I was surely in for.
After all, traveling with a brand new phone when I'd need access to my emails, maps, music, and text messages
with only minutes to make the switch was not ideal in any way.
I went to bed afraid and confused, angry at myself for dropping my phone into a toilet.
As I struggled to figure out how to set the alarm on this dreaded device and silence its notifications, I cursed it openly.

This was my introduction to Android.

I was suspicious of sizing up: I assumed that my days of multitasking one-handed were over, and they were.
The One S wasn't mine and it wasn't an American phone, which seemed to cause it occasional data problems,
but, other than that, I loved it.
I got on that Amtrak train on September 10th groggy and acutely aware that I was going to be uncomfortable with my phone for the duration of the trip.

It's now been so long since I touched an iPhone

But I was wrong...... read more on the verge
