Do you own a smartphone?

Post » Thu Dec 05, 2013 11:36 pm

If so, which one?

I recently switched from an iPhone 4s to a Galaxy Note II. 4G is sweeet, but it has extremely limited coverage in Alaska. Am very happy with it.

I really wanted a Note III but they aren't supported here yet. Same with the Nexus 5.

I have an iPhone 4s. I'm happy with it. You can do just about anything with it.

We ditched our home phone for the family plan of smartphones, as there's no reason to pay for two phone lines.

My wife has the Galaxy S2 and I have the Galaxy S4.

I don't like much of the bloatware installed on them (which I can't remove), though I am thankful I can remove the icons from the screens. With so much bloatware, things are running in the background, draining my battery faster than it should, which means I have to charge it every day. I long for the days my flip phone would last a week, easily.

I don't use many of the apps on the phone because I can barely read them. At my age, my eyes aren't what they used to be, and I hate this Squint Generation™ push of things.

The Note's okay, but I didn't like the fact the stylus has to be used for the basics. I really enjoy the touch screen portion of the S4, so I'm not sure why Samsung didn't make this standard with the Note. Perhaps version 4 will give it to us.

As for Android: Not too happy with it. It's slow and buggy, as obvious by those who throw out apps so fast (for the profit!) rather than taking time to properly beta test. I also despise, with a passion, the inability for us to turn off permissions which seem excessive for what the app does.

Welcome to the future, I suppose.

Another Note 2 user here. I love it although I don't use its applications too much, just phone, browser and tv series.

Galaxy S3.

It's so smart it knows not to break when dropped or flung against a wall (by accident)

Two-year old Galaxy Nexus. I'm eligible for an upgrade but I can't afford it right now, and the Nexus is in great shape and still gets the job done.

Motorola droid. Yeah it's still working. Not as cool as my old v3i though. I think I'll go Samsung next time which could be sometime next year.

iPhone4. I like it, and am not looking for a change, atm. Maybe later, if I have the money?

I use an old Android Galaxy Ace I got for free after my Nokia E63 had the screen cracked (phone still works perfectly because its a Nokia though).

I've never really been that 'into' smart phones. I tend to just use my phone as a phone, and for nothing else.

Same here...a phone and a watch substitute. I don't like the idea of a handheld that's smarter than I am.

I've had iPhones ever since they very first came out. Best purchases I ever made. I use them for everything.
