I was really hoping they would go for something like the basis, but awesomer.

You can upgrade your phone all you want...you just can't change your plan without losing the Unlimited packages.

It amazes me that android fans still seem to think that the overall user experience of a product can be summed up by a few bulleted specs.
I'm not saying anything against the OnePlus One as I've not used one yet... but this mindset shows how some still just don't get it.

Won't you just activation lock your phone so it can't be used.No need to cut off a finger when you have all the finger prints sitting right there on the phone waiting to be lifted

It amazes me that this phone matches the 6 plus spec for spec and is ridiculously cheaper. And I prefer the overall user experience on Android by a fair margin. Not sure what I'm not getting?

You're getting 2 year old features at a higher price than they were even 2 years ago, of course.

I think that's a pretty decent description of what it is. That Basis doesn't have standalone GPS or Ant+. It also has a wrist-based HR monitor (than apparently has trouble tracking heart rate while exercising). It contains a perspiration and body temperature sensor which the Apple Watch lacks, but I'm not sure the Basis has even developed the algorithms to use those sensors yet.
I don't think any Smart Watch is going to be the one to buy based on hardware. It's going to come down to app support and interface.

These are not loaded questions (rather, ignorant ones), but the common complaints I have heard in the past about Android is that they are "busy," virus-prone, and buggy. Given that you prefer the experience on Android more, I imagine that this has not been your experience? If not, how do folks come away with a different opinion? Maybe that's just "the old days" of Android? I have thought long and hard about going over to an HTC One, driven mostly by battery life, but the pros always seem to outweigh the cons in terms of sticking with Apple (family is fairly committed to the ecosystem - two iphones, two ipads, macbook air, macbook pro, appletv).
apologies, as i am sure you've hashed this out on here before.

Well.. we can start with the bolded above...
Not to mention, saying something is "spec for spec" is exactly the blindness I'm talking about
For Example: 8MP iPhone 5s Camera > 13MP OnePlus One Camera.
Simply assuming more megapixels = better is at best ill-informed.
I'm not saying the OnePlus One isn't an exceptional value. It looks like a solid phone for a plastic android phone. That's not what I'm looking for.

Wait what? I've changed my plan without losing it but if I try and upgrade the phone I was told I'd lose it.

As someone who has been happy with both experiences, it makes me laugh at the back and forth between the diehards.
I never had a mac. I imagine if I did, my iphone experience might have been better than just being happy. Everything seemed to be a pain. Uploading movies, songs and shows was an absolute disaster from itunes. I think itunes alone soured my full experience. I know the updates allowed for easy cloud based experience but I had an iphone 4 and was not making it any slower with new ios updates.
I got tired of waiting for the next big thing that never seemed to come so I jumped over to the note 3 bc screen size mattered to me. Now I feel like I am getting the experience I wanted from my iphone. I think it really comes down to what you prefer. If you are a Google person, which I am, android is your choice. If you are a mac guy, the easy integration between computer and phone is probably what you want.
But to think one is clearly better than the other is silly and makes the people arguing look silly as well.
But the one thing everyone should do is get the bigger phone.

I still feel this way. I don't really care who came up with it, who uses it, or why. It's too big for me. This includes the iphone 6+.
I also don't use a sledgehammer to tap a nail into a wall. It's the wrong tool.
For me.
YMMV.

I have a Mac and it didn't improve my iPhone experience at all. The last time I've been as happy with a switch as I was from the iPhone to an Android phone was when I switched from a bulky Windows laptop to a MacBook Air.

That was supposed to say "wait" and I thought an earlier post inferred that AT&T was not allowing renewals to continue with their unlimited data plans. I'm not sure if that is the case though or not.

Well, you're certainly in the minority. Android has some advantages over iOS, but better "overall user experience" isn't one that is shared by many people.
Which is obviously fine, but you shouldn't wonder what you're not getting when you're the exception.
Everybody is worried about it, but no indication has been given it's happening anytime soon that I know of.
I want to switch to Android, or at least wouldn't mind it, but outside this thread I don't see a ton of unbiased reviews indicating its a better product.
Yet all we ever hear about in here is how they do everything better, faster, and cheaper. Whole thing is weird.
But I do hate Mac PCs and ITunes. Just don't feel the same about the iPhone I guess.

It's gotten MUCH closer to iOS, but isn't quite there yet... absent the moddernerds who want to screw around with loading tons of ROMS and stuff onto their phones.
If nothing else, the massive gap in malware targeted toward each platform is reason enough to, personally, give me pause. YMMV.

iOS stole a lot of features that gave early Androids an advantage (lock screen widgets, notification bar, etc) so now they're pretty much the same thing functionally. Android still has the advantage on customizing your home screen without having to be a serious g33k.
So really it's just a matter of preference of which ecosystem and phone hardware want.

My switch from ios to android was the most seamless thing ever. Type in my google account and boom, I'm off
My user experience has been top notch
Now, getting my kids iMessage and FaceTime set up, well, lets just say they were sleeping by the time I sorted it out

I think the Iphone 6 is going to be a grand slam home run for Apple because most users will want a larger phone. Nothing else really matters except the size.
The watch I see as a bust for many reasons. Primary for me is the placement of the "Digital Crown" which makes that function of the watch unusable for people like me (left handers) who wear a watch on their right arm.

I'm not into this which is better debate, but if it took you that long to figure out iMessage and FaceTime, I think it might be the user...

It doesn't change orientation when you rotate it??
siffoin
Footballguy
My bad it looks like it does change orientation - and I think the bands will switch too. The crown will be at the bottom of the watch - not sure how that would look and function- certainly not preferable or Apple would have placed it there to begin with. Lefties make up a small % of the population so the watch will bust for other reasons than that imo.
Really like the Phone however.

That's just the way it goes with so many makers and so much bloatware. There are going to be some crappy phones.
Imagine if the only Android phone was the Google Nexus. There wouldn't be crappy Android phones just like there are no crappy Apple phones.
Though it does seem like number of makers is quickly becoming an advantage with so much competition.

I switched from iOS to Android two years ago and I honestly don't see how the user experience can possibly be any worse on Android than iOS. If you want, Android can be set up EXACTLY like iOS. Of course a big part of that is because the majority of the features that iOS has added in the last 3 years were ripped straight from Android, but if all you want is a big collage of apps that you can click on that's pretty much how Android comes out of the box.
Of course, the difference is that if you want more out of Android you can get that as well. And of course, all those nifty features like pull down notification bars, quick settings, customized lock screens, nfc, etc come a year or two earlier on Android than iOS.
My wife has an iPhone and I can't think of one thing on it that you can't do just as easily on Android, but I can think of a dozen things that you can do on Android but can't on iOS. If all I do after getting a new Android phone is delete the widgets and don't use any of the extra stuff then it's basically the exact same thing as iOS.
