I also need my Google calendar on there. iPhone would be just fine for you. If you don’t want to dick with things and just want a “It just works” type of deal then the iPhone is great at that. I love my android, but am considering switching given that now a days I really honestly do not give a fuck about being able to do whatever I want etc. The ONLY thing and ONLY reason I have my android rooted and will jailbreak an iPhone if I get one, is so I can tether for free. really don’t give a flying fuck about beign able to put roms etc on my phones, it was fun at first, but after awhile it got old fucking with shit. It sits in my pocket most of the day now. Plus, iPhone battery life seems to be better, my wifes iPhone runs circles around my driod x in battery life --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-thinking-or-will-be-switching-to-iphone-5/260691)._
