[Electronics-talk] thinking of switching to an Android

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

My husband has a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and I like it a lot. I
actually used to be an Android user a few years ago. I am too excited

curve with it, just as you probably had the same when getting an
iPhone. Here is a great list that would get you pointed in the right
direction with great folks and great answers.
