Another bit of BS propaganda from the iPhone evangalists. Perhaps for people who are not used to, I dunno, surfing the web and navigating their way through different websites, esp. for buying things, there might be a bit of difficulty in becoming familiar with some things. But holy shit! if people with basic tech competence can't get used to a new OS within a day the problem is with them, not with any perceived complexity of the OS. I've always had Android, but at work the only smartphones on offer are iPhonbe (you have to be special to get an iPhone - I'm not special) and WP8. It took me no time at all to become familiar with WP8 and it is as different from Android as Android is different from iOS. I don't like WP8 as an interface at all, and I can say that after several months of daily use, but "Oooooooh! it's so hard to make the transition to a diferent OS!" is not an excuse. I just don't like the vibe of WP8. There might be something to the fact that the "smart"phone I had at work before my WP8 was a CrapBlackberry. Though again what was rubbish about the Blackberry was not complexity of the OS.
