Chime in: Is Android a better fit for Windows phone converts than iPhone?

One curious member of the Windows Central forums is posing that very question.

Every post that I've read here regarding switching platforms and also many of Microsoft important people (Joe Belfiore, Bill Gates, etc.) , mentioned android as their destination. But why? Why not iOS?

By contrast, when you're using iOS you can't change default apps, the user interface is what Apple says it is and nothing more, and you're not exactly spoiled for choice on hardware. Not to mention the iPhone is expensive. There are lots of Android phones at different price points. But there's a lot of good in the way Apple does things, with consistent performance and a future packed full of software updates being top of the list.
