Great writeup, thank you!
I actually did the opposite. Owned a Nokia "smartphone" when I got my first gen iPhone. Stayed on for 2 more generations then switched to a Samsung Galaxy (reason: wanted to see what this whole Android thing was about).
In every way it was a painful experience but I stuck with it for a few years. When I finally switched back to an iPhone I was like, wow, it just works. Forgot how that felt.
I'm still a fan of Android and believe it does some things so much better. Google Now is actually incredibly cool (too useful to be creepy). Music library management was much better (I miss you so so much N7 player). eBook reading was also better (Moon+ is amazing).
On the other hand, even as a power user (I program Android and iOS apps for a living) it frustrated me to no end. Android is here to stay (which is great) but from a usability (i.e. user friendliness) perspective it still has so much further to go.
