Samsung S4. I bought it because the Nokia 1020 wasn't available when I buying a phone and the guy at Bestbuy said the HTC One customers were having problems with the phone.


Htc one having issues?With what?From what I hear they are pretty great in both quality of build and specs wise.

The guy said people have been returning them due to various issues so I just took his word for it. I dunno, maybe he was biased towards Samsung or something. Its not a big deal since the phones are quite similar.

On topic.

Google Nexus 5, I had a Nexus 4 and loved it because of the specs for the price, the Nexus 5 is so snappy and I love the overall design and screen. Also, it being unlocked is a huge bonus, and it has never froze on me, nor have I gotten any technical issues out of it.

so you admit your last post was an off topic random attack.  excellent.

Not really, I think windows phone are crap and responded to your Android bashing and posted what I heard about windows phone. You caught way too many feels lol. 

 

And lets not talk about getting off-topic on this forum.

I have one of all the ecosystems but my main on is the iPhone.. With the amount of apps that i bought over the years i ain't switching anymore..

Plus i am starting to dislike that Google is moving all the optional google apps as part of the core partition.. They are closing Android up pretty fast.. They even asked samsung to drop samsung apps that were too similiar as their own Google apps.. I just don't wanna be on YouTube with my real name..

Yeah, I know... I say I dont like a product and you launch a personal attack... thats fine.

Well, it seemed to hit a nerve so there must've been some truth to it, I see.

Nokia lumia 920 - very solid, very capable device. 

Because I was bored rigid of Apple (after having all 4 iphones up to 4) and its bland devices and Android is a shit hole of a mess of an ecosystem. (imo)


For their system updates i completely agree.  I just love the hardware and specifically Samsungs apps.  They seem to have the best grasp of Android.  Although i have heard good things about the nexus devices

I have an iPhone 4s. Getting the Lumia Icon next week. Can't wait to get out of the IOS environment. It is a "ok" phone, but not great. Want a bigger screen and a more interesting interface.


From what you said you had a bad experience with iOs.Why's that?

In my home, I have 2 Iphones(me and my wife) and an ipad and an apple tv.  The one thing Apple does, is move slowly.  Sure, every app ever made is available on ios, but i don't need hundreds of thousands of apps.  Like most people, I use a half dozen apps regularly and another dozen on occasion.  If you want to cusomize anything on an iphone, good luck.  If you want to change pretty much anything, good luck.  The 4s is a capable smartphone with a really small screen.  The camera is OK, but the installed software for it sucks.  Since ios 6 came out, the phone runs a lot slower.  The other problem that I have is that I went to Sprint for a service provider, because I wanted the unlimited internet.  Sprint service sucks, and drops calls ALL THE TIME.  I assume this is a SPrint issue, as i haven't heard anything about this being a phone problem.

As far as ios goes, it is boring.  I have gone through 3-4 versions of it now, and it is basically the same.  I also like the idea of the operating systems from my phone and computers being similar.  I have also purchased 2 different Surface Pros for my home in the last 6 months and I use a surface pro for work too.


Surface pro has picked my interest too but I think that's too pricey to even consider it.WindowsOs is pretty ergonomic and easy to use from what i experienced.It's only real downside being the weak store so far.

Nokia Lumia 920

Best phone I've ever used. I also like the Windows OS a lot more than Apple. I just wish Sony would make an Xperia Z with Windows so I can try that out.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I recommend the pro to anyone looking to replace a pc or laptop.  That is the only way the price makes sense.

I have one for work and I got rid of the PC in my office.  I have a bluetooth mouse/keyboard on my desk along with a 23 inch monitor.  I plug in the monitor and power cord and use it throughout the day as a pc.  When i need to, I bring it to meetings and I have my full desktop capability in a tablet.  I of course have the type cover, so i have a full keyboard and touchpad while away from my desk.

Like I mentioned above, I recently added 2 more to my home.  My wife was going to get an ipad air for a tablet.  She does geneology work and the tablet apps suck for that purpose.  She used my surface during one weekend and was hooked.  we went with a Surface pro 128 gb when they were on closeout for $599 about 4-5 weeks ago.  Last fall, I bought a Surface 2 256gb for my son for a school laptop.  I was a lot more spendy($1,200), but it is also more powerful than the surface 1 and it had more storage.

You can still get brand new gen 1 surface pros for about $500.  Those are great machines for that price...



It is near the end of the end....

Android... Nexus to be exact.

Why?
