I don't want an iPhone. I like my Android phone a lot, it's just a big pain in the ass sometimes, mostly due to a lack of attention to detail in the design.
You've sidestepped #1 entirely, so I'll leave that be.
#2, I have over 100 apps, most of which came with the phone and/or are components of other things. It's like your grandma's Windows desktop in there. It's not much of a pain to get things more usable on the home panes, it's just a UX headache that doesn't need to exist.
And as for inconsistency, the original article was talking about inconsistency among different apps, not phones/UIs.
I didn't "sidestep" anything. I specifically said I do not store music on my Android so I have no familiarity with it. It isn't sidestepping, its addressing my lack of familiarity with the matter. I mentioned the documents as an aside because its a good problem to have "I can't find my documents" vs "I can't even get documents on the damn thing."
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification on the inconsistency. A lot of people are talking about hardware inconsistency, so that is what I went with. For app inconsistency, I guess I don't use enough apps to notice a problem. The majority of the time I can open a brand new app and guess what will happen if I hit the menu button (a menu pops up), the home screen (I go to my android home), the back button (I go back in the interface), or the search button (if its an app that has some sort of searchability, then I can search). There are indeed cases where that doesnt work, but meh.
