When's the last time you used android? Lol
That may have been true with Froyo and GB builds, but it's a whole other ball game with ICS and JB. Now, task killers do harm.

Say what you Want about the home button but when people pick up the phone they push it and the phone comes on.
It is slower to boot than a gs3 or iPhone , but it's not knit a sweater slow like my dad's Torch.
Also swiping is natural on today's phones but swiping from the edge is not.
I hope they have a Demo mode for the shops. This was one of the issues w/ the Playbook. It was not instinctive on how to work it.
Yes, there's a demo mode. It's a video style, you peek over to see the sections (things like hub, time shift, notifications, peek and flow etc) and you can select the ones you want to see. Our demo playbook also had demo mode , unfortunately it caused the play book to lag to the point of being unusable. So far, the z10 doesn't have that problem but what sucks is that in order to get out of demo to use the phone, you gave to hold down voice command button between the volume rockers and then close voice command to a tile. Only then can you use the actual device. Heaven forbid you look away for a moment or it goes immediately into demo mode again and you have to repeat. THAT is a bone headed move.
I found it intuitive, but very strongly like webos (and we had several customers say the same thing on that), and I don't think it's as intuitive as webos was. That said, people who used webos will be like ducks to water, but I can see some frustration from others at the start, like windows 8.
