Apologies if this has already been discussed and not wanting to start any sort of flame wars.
Has anyone else moved to Android from iPhone? If so what where the main reasons.

Has anyone else moved to Android from iPhone? If so what where the main reasons.
I am patiently waiting for the HTC Desire to land in the UK to upgrade, my main reasons for doing so are:
- Dislike of Apple's recent activities, the seeming arrogance they have in thinking they are the only company that should be able to provide a touch screen smart phone.
- Getting away from the walled garden of iTunes and iPhone. I want to be able to use my phone however I like and not how Jobs and co tell me.
- Being able to change base functionality how I like. Prime example being podcasts. I regularly download 3-4 a week and hate having to either connect to iTunes or manually check every time for all my podcasts. There isn't an app for that!
- Getting the latest hardware that I want and being able to chose the features that are important to me. Do I want a keyboard, a better camera, a removable battery...
- Improved speed compared to 3G iphone
- Sense UI on the Desire
- Not getting the latest version of the OS on day one.
- Scarcity/poor quality of most of the games?
- Slight lack of slickness in the UI?
