No, I never had an Android.  At the first time I made this decision two
years ago, it also didn't help that the AT&T's first and only offering
(the Moto Backflip) was a complete dog.  At the time, I (and anyone I
asked) didn't know of any way of not syncing through the cloud, and
that's a deal-breaker for me.
