Smart Phone Poll

[darkfox1]

I think its hilarious that more people here use blackberry than windows phones. Microsoft tries so hard to get their mobile platform off the ground and people just don't hear it. (I don't and wont own one myself. I've been there. No thank you.)

Going to switch to att soon, sick of years of empty sprint network promises.. Was going to jump on the S6 but seeing the S6 Active spec

leaks makes me want to wait a few months extra for it. Trying to decide what to get to hold me over. Maybe a Blu LTE phone, maybe a moto E or G with LTE.

Kind of sucks here, Verizon has a monopoly. If you go off the main highways service with any other provider is pretty much non existant

I own a Blackberry Q10 because I hate touchscreen keyboards. I had one for about 3 weeks and did not like it at all.

I'm going on 4 years with a smart phone and that's the one thing I miss about my old BB 8320 or whatever it was. Still can't get used to this touch keyboard. Other than that I like my phone.

Q10 has been by far my favorite cell phone yet. Lots more apps available for it than ever before too, for those app crazy people out there.

Nope not an app person, just a crazy freedom person. I enjoy flashing roms and seeing what bugs it has and being able to do what I want with my phone.

I'm primarily an Android kind of guy. Both my wife and I, have some version of Samsung Galaxy phones. But last year, my company got me a Z30 crackberry. Around Christmas, I bought a cellular iPad Air. So, I have one of each.

 

The Z30 has a crappy antenna and often doesn't ring in a call or let me call out when my old S3 will work fine. But it's an incredible device for managing numerous email accounts, texts, meetings, etc.. Other types of devices I've used just don't do it as well. I have to use it for my work due to the hardcore encryption requirements.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to dump the Samsung S3, but can't seem to let the number go. I tried call forwarding to the crackberry for a while, but voice mail and text messaging was an issue.

what about porting that # to google voice?

Well, been reading a bunch of reviews, of new and old phones, co!paring battery life. Buyig this on clearance, new LG G2, as a cheap holdover has ruined me. Battery life is better than almost everything under tablet size. I just saw the S6 didn't last as long as the old S4 on the engadget 720p video loop.

 

But, the new G4 will use the new quantum dot LCD screen, supposedly great on battery. Downside? Has the SD 810 DoC, gets hot and kills battery.

 

Sigh.

 

Here's hoping the S6 Active has the huge battery. But even with that much more battery, probably won't last as long as a G2.

[SnakeEyeSS]

So the G4 has the best camera on the market it seems. Seen and heard some early hands on reports and people were flipping over how good it is. Also saying as long as you don't game on it the 808 was a good choice as they are also reporting great battery life. This week in Google said they got some time with one of the engineers who said they wanted the 808 on the G flex 2, because they feel it's a perfect blend of performance and effeciency, but it wasn't sorted out yet, so had to go with 810.

[SnakeEyeSS]

Wow LG was right, check this out, after 15 min of use the SD 810 dogs it.

LG G watch 50% off at target if you have the Cartwheel app.

Don't wear watches myself. Although the new LG Urbane is nice if I did.

I want the Gear S. Mainly because it can be independent of the phone.
