A couple of days ago, I changed my phone from an iPhone 3G to a Samsung Galaxy S Android phone.  I'd been swaying between getting an Android & going to the iPhone 4.  Although the new iPhone looks fantastic, the recent problems with the antenna and the difficulty of obtaining one put me off.  Besides, the openness of Android (access to the filesystem from any PC/Mac, ability to install apps from anywhere, etc.) had tempted me originally.

So far it's been a nice phone.  The hardware isn't as plasticky as some reviews have said - I quite like it.  Not as nice as the iPhone of course, but not as bad as some believe.

It's taking a bit of time to get used to it, and a lot of apps seem like iPhone apps were 2 years ago, but it seems they're catching up fast.

One irritant had been the USB connection.  It was a bit difficult trying to get it to connect to my Mac via USB.  Eventually I got it to work with the USB setting (4 different connection modes - can't imagine that on an iPhone!), and I also had to enable USB debugging to get it to work - again, not very friendly at all!  Finally, you have to go to the drop down menu on the phone and mount the phone from there!  I would imagine many non-geeks would have gotten quite pissed off long before this and given up.  This definitely needs to be simplified.

I did however see one app which will at least handle the auto-mounting of the phone 'Auto Mount your SD Card' which also seems to work if you don't have an SD card.  Search on the marketplace or scan the QR code on the link.  Then enable the setting within the app after install.
