I would make sure you know what you're getting before you get it.

I keep hoping that Android/Talkback will improve to rival the user
experience I get on the iPhone, but it hasn't happened yet.  Every time a
new Android version is released, I find a Nexus device and try it out.  Even
with Lollypop, it's not that great yet.

There are some reasons to go with Android.  Cost and employer lock in being
at the top of the list, along with the ability to find phones with physical
buttons.

I'm trying to provide a balanced viewpoint here, while still making my own
personal preferences known.

Hope this helps,

Jim
