I switched from an iPhone 5S to android, and wasnt happy until i got a HTC One M8 (i tried nexus 5, and galaxy note 3 before that).
HTC have refined android in subtle but nice ways, and overall its a polished user experience.
As much as i like the look of the iPhone 6 plus, i just cannot go back to iOS as android has so many nice little touches that make it better to use.
i do miss the camera quality of the iPhone though!

I really don't have much of an issue with anything you posted except the part about the iPhone always "just worked" and didn't give you a hard time moving Apps to the SD card. There has never been a version of the iPhone with an SD card to move Apps on to. And the same is true with the iPhone 6. At least your HTC has that capability, as do most other Android phones and now Windows Phones. If your worried about space on your new iPhone, you better get the 64GB version or the 128GB version, because you're locked into whatever size you pick.
BTW: I currently have the iPhone 5 and previously had the 4S, and 4, and 3GS. But, I'm seriously considering "jumping ship" to the new Moto X or the new Nexus 6/X (whatever they decide to call it) this go around.
Cheers.

That's what I meant. The HTC I'm using right now can only move an App to an SD card if the Developer enabled the option - An iPhone just worked for me and didn't gave me a hard time moving apps BECAUSE there was / is no SD card.

I'm not worried - 32 GB were great for me, since I only carried the songs I was listening to and the apps I need (WhatsApp, Skype, Newspaper, Train connections etc.).
The console is a black place

I hear you.
Why not a Windows Phone if you want something reliable.
Especially if you get a Nokia you get the best camera on a phone.
There are pretty much 4-5 fundamental things I need in a "phone" these days.
- being a reliable phone and SMS messenger
- reliable light browsing and emailing
- a very good camera
- GPS
- lasting battery
Other applications, be honest, how much are you using them and if you do use them, can you live without them?
Of course you could. For frak sake many of us grew up in a time when you didn't even have a cell. Generally, you had to be somewhere with a land line, like home to call or get a call on a phone. So, I can assure you, if you can survive just fine without a mobile phone, now that you have one anyway you will surely survive without the apps.
Oh, where was I ... yeah. I want the same thing, now that we are stuck with these "smart" phones yes I want them to just work and not have to reflash, install new firmware, jailbreak them and so on ....
After my first experience with an LG Android a couple of years ago (phone that luckily was run over by another car) I bought a Nokia Lumia 710, very simple phone. I was amazed how good I felt about myself after a week, how simple my phone related experience had become. You know, like Japanese cars which for years need just gas and engine oil change.
So, buy an iPhone if you want reliable but if you want the whole package buy a Lumia 'cause today never comes back and if you want to capture this moment in a quality picture, you need a good camera.
I own a Lumia 920 now and it is the "sh*t".
Did I mention they cost less?

The new Windows Phone 8.1 is actually pretty good, why not try it out. WP stability and performance is on par with iPhone's.

I've had a few android phones, the problem isnt with the os is with all the bs the manufacturers put on it. If you're up to it load cyanogen mod on your HTC and you'll be amazed at the difference w/out that HTC Sense crap. I switched to a windows phone and dont ever want to go back. My boss still has an htc with sense and gets a message about sense locking up at least once a day, even when the phone has just been in his pocket.

I was a little thrown off by the word "fly", but I think that must have been a misspelling. Should have been f***...

I Googled the quote. The first hit was an IMDB page. The next three were links to Lounge posts, but not one of them was in this thread.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

and who's problem is that ?

Well, you posted the quote, so obviously you broke Google.

Dave Auld Goes to the Office.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
