I once bought an iPhone (for some damn reason). I thought it was
decent, kinda got used to it, except for the Apple silo.
Then I got this Samsumg galaxy, and enjoyed being back in the
Android environment.
Now, when someone hands me an iPhone, I have to dick around with
the screen to figure out how to, say, switch to another app.
I greatly prefer the bottom buttons
