Hi, I have 2 reasons I left Android. 1: I was using phones with 2.3, and there was little large text support, only in some apps, and 2: I was fighting memory leak problems on even top end devices. It made for frustration, in having to remove everything and start over, until the problem reappeared . I did like the variety and inventiveness of apps, but I'm overall much happier with iOS. It's just friendlier.
