Note2!!! Seriously, Android apps are catching up. Bigger screen. For Apple convert, no fear. U can get data restored. Only lose sms and WA.

U can expand up to 64Gb external SDCARD. The iPhone5 like no wow factor. Ok, to be fair.... Note2 also no wow factor if u use Note1. More or less similar functions, just faster processor.

Haven't explore much yet. Just got it 12hrs ago.. yes.. u need a Gmail account for Android. But I feel that those who r stuck with Apple since iP1... hard for them to say no to iP5 cos too "wow-ed" by Jobs.... frankly how often do u change phone?

I play devil advocate. .. if you get Note2, u can still get an iPad or iPad mini to suppork Apple!

haha... icic.... definitely something i'm considering! initially got ip cos the apps were very attractive.

now... different expectations from phone. so probably might get android (:

Actually most apps are developed for iP. Android still dun get much support from alot of companies to develop apps. So if you guys are used to Apple apps.. then dun jump ship to Android cos u might be disappointed. Do check out Google PlayStore if u would like to find out more in their apps. Just my 2 cents worth..

Aiyah, big screen but I get fat fingers.... keep pressing "k" instead of "l".

I guess it is not completely true. Most of the famous applications come for both. NFC is available only in Android ;)

Um.. ok not so much the "wow-ed" by Jobs for me although I've been on the platform since the iPhone's debut. It's more about the curated experience for both apps and stable OS releases. Makes sense for me as my work environment runs OSX. Open source is a good thing. The flipside is malware code insertion into apps in the marketplace are pretty rampant.

One thing I dislike about Android and it's adopting handset manufacturers is the non standardized way OS updates are available for the devices. Case in point - I have a 2009 HTC Hero that will not officially upgrade beyond Eclair 2.1 whereas a 2009 iPhone 3GS still runs iOS6.

Whichever you choose, integration is key.
