Hi all, this is my first post on here as I'm considering moving from 4 years of iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy SII as I'm sick of the things the iPhone can't do and the lack of development that seems to be occurring!
I have 4 major issues with a straight switch to Android:
1) I've heard there is no 'search' function in the email app, is this correct? If so and if there is an app out there that does it (I've read something about touchdown) will this still be compatible with push emails and will I still get the standard notifications when emails arrive if I'm not using the default app. Also I don't have a gmail account so won't be using that app.
2) Is there an easy way to download podcasts that I'm subscribed to (currently via itunes)
3) If there any kind of app that enables you to trick the phone into thinking its on wifi when its only on 3G, in order to get wifi only apps to work. this is what I do with my iphone when out and about wanting to download a podcast for example.
4) there was one more but i've forgotten it
I appreciate your time reading and would love to hear some of your thoughts on these points.
