Why cant Android be as phone friendly as iOS? Feb 2, 2015

kcpatel83 , Feb 2, 2015 :

Hello All,

This query might look to you biased, but I am long time iPhone user and recently purchased opo(earlier i tried nexus 5 for week and switched back to iPhone).
I thought Cyanogen must be little customized to be more phone friendly.
But after using it for 3 days, i tend to believe that Android is OS for tablets rather than Phones.
Android simply have ruined 2 most important apps must required for a phone (dialer and contacts).
If i have a PHONE i want this two app to be doing the job as they should have to.
And i couldnt find any as simple and easy to use dialer and contacts apps as they have for iOS.

Do anyone agree to this?
If not suggest me dialer(phone) and contacts app, as simple and easy to use as iOS.

Edit/correction here:

I am already buried under replies and quotes but still want to clarify.
I am not against Android. I want Android to be as solid as it can be. Otherwise the big Apple will have too much of monopoly.

I agree. Android can be customized the way you want. But what about whom, who are not pro or dont want to spend time doing so.
I can live with everything else android offers but dialer, its a real pain in the a**.
You have to have Google Voice or something else to have visual voicemail. I mean with all the customization at your disposal and nobody noticed how odd this is? and nobody try to merge it together. not even google. Pity

Just go through iOS phone dialer and contacts apps to understand what i am trying to say. I am just suggesting improvements that being open source Android should implement.
