Just to be fair, look at the back of your phone. What does it say? Says "with GOOGLE" right?
If you do not wish to use Google, that's your perogative, I'm all for people doing what they want to. But it boggles the mind that someone buys a GOOGLE product but doesn't like/need/want/trust GOOGLE.
I'm not talking about people who are not really big into google, or are neutral about google, or who don't care about google --- but they have this Exchange work account they want to get on their phone. No big deal, many people do that, and it's very valid.
But am I the only one who see people basically saying "Hey, just bought this cat. Don't like cats, how do I make it act and look like a dog?"
Am I the only one who wants to respond "Why the heck did you buy a cat?" or, to be more *helpful* - "Just go buy a dog"
It's the akin to buying a SUV and then taking parts off of it and modifying it so that it looks like a Scion XB. There is an easier way.
