That's primarily my issue with Droid. It's so unintuitive it's silly. The main upside with WP is that it's literally so simple to set stuff up.

I can see the appeal for an iPhone though (based on my understanding of that platform). I think I'd rather die than use an Apple device though. It doesn't follow what I believe in (an open ecosystem etc).

I think I'm going to stick with Droid. Buh bye Windows Phone
Okay...

1. It's not "so simple to set stuff up" because you're trying to use a Microsoft ecosystem on Android. Try syncing a Google account. It's literally email, password, and optional 2FA, and you're done. I seem to recall having to go through some shenanigans to get contacts/calendar/etc. syncing for my Gmail account on iOS.

2. Droid is a trademark owned by Lucasfilm and licensed to Verizon. You do not have a Droid.

No. And see point 2 above.
