After over 10 years on iOS I’ve switched to Android on the Pixel 2 XL. So far an excellent experience.

@cdevroe What motivated the switch?

@cdevroe I switched to a Pixel 2 XL this past week as well. Love it so far.

@cdevroe I’m going to be very interested to follow your journey!

@cdevroe Are you a Mac user? I thought about Android, but sticked to iOS for Apple's ecosystem for another term. Though I found FocusGTD that works perfect with OmniFocus, I think there are still workflows that work better on IOS/OSX. Any workflow changes with the Pixel?

@Bruce i try not to be dogmatic so I try new things from time to time. Like I did with Windows 10. Also, Android on Pixel is unfussed with.

@scientifics ill be sure to write some on it.

@kulturnation I am a heavy Mac user/developer. I will comprise the nuances in an upcoming post.

@cdevroe That will be interesting to read, thank you

@cdevroe If you don't have one already, I'd recommend the Google fabric cases. They're simple, and feel super nice in the hand.

@mikehaynes These look great. Do they add much bulk?

@cdevroe A little bit, yes. Slightly more than the leather cases on an iPhone.

@cdevroe That's definitely more adventurous than I am. :) But looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

@cdevroe did you use photostream or iMessage on the iPhone? Those were the things I couldn't do without when I last tried Android. Also privacy and security concerns generally (security not so much by choosing a 'Google' phone. Privacy probably still a concern).

@mbd Yes and yes. I will write up how I switched everything on my blog soon.
