Decided to jump off of the Apple bandwagon and get myself a HTC One as it is the only other phone that comes close to the build quality of an Apple. Never used Android. Has anyone else done this, and how did you get on? Is it a massive learning curve or one that is quite easy once you get on with it?
Anyone else got a HTC One? Would be interested to hear what you think rather than the usual reviews (which are very complimentary)

I replaced my iPhone with an S3, couldn't be happier with it aside from one small issue that is nothing to do with Android so isn't relevant.

Nexus 4 has similar specs.
I love mine (although I'm using my shitty old HTC Sensation at the moment).

I think the Samsung is too plasticy, that's why I held off switching. HTC One is the first one that has pushed me over http://www.anandtech.com/show/6747/htc-one-review |

What's the issue? Thinking of getting an S3 for myself next. |

I have just taken delivery of the Sony Xperia Z and I can safely say that if Jonny72 had it he would run out of socks

Really? Are you sure you are not talking about the HTC One X or S. The HTC One has only been out a few weeks. |

Must admit I have been thinking of dumping all my Apple products. I used to look cool sitting in Starbucks with my iPhone and Macbook, now every fucker has them and I look common as muck. Not good for my image. |

The only problem with Sony is they take absolutely cunting ages to action Android updates (if ever). Suppose it may not be a problem for most, and may be different for their flagship product.

If build quality is important you should take a look at the Nokia Lumia range of phones.... Tank like but nice to look at

There's always the S3 mini, though I don't think the specs are as good. |
