Title: Well, I got a new phone yesterday... Post by: VOLveeta on June 06, 2013, 10:00:35 EDT I'm coming from a Samsung Charge, officially THE biggest P.O.S. ever manufactured under the "Droid" label. I HATED this device. And I'm not a big "smartphone" guy. It's a convenience but not the end of the world as far as I'm concerned. I just want it to freaking work.
Well, I got the Nokia Lumia 928 from Verizon and holy crap, I think I'm in love. Like I said, I'm not a gadget dude, but this thing is gorgeous, fast and so easy to use. I LOVE the Windows system and the ease of learning. So far, I give it a rave. I'll post more later. yer pal, VOLveeta Title: Re: Well, I got a new phone yesterday... Post by: 73Volgrad on June 07, 2013, 03:06:30 EDT I guess I am just a conformist. I got an IPhone 5 last week to replace my 4S. It is noticeably faster accessing the Web. Since I limit texting because I do not have that additional cost for the plan, I have a good phone that holds most of my music (I can Bluetooth stream in my cars), photos I like, and has great reception, I an happy with it. I do not watch movies or TV on it (why would I? or would anybody?). I do not have to cruise the Web when away from home. A Smartphone may be more than I really need, but that is really all you can buy that is not junk.
The Android-based and Windows-based phones all look great. If I had to replace and pick something not IOS-based, it would likely be a Windows-based platform. Google is the next evil empire to replace Apple. Microsoft is already the Devil. Title: Re: Well, I got a new phone yesterday...

Microsoft is already the Devil. iphone is better because it's not as fragmented as the Droid platform. Just MHO. I do think the windows phone will eat into their market share though, it's a pretty good phone. Title: Re: Well, I got a new phone yesterday... Post by: 73Volgrad on June 07, 2013, 08:04:41 EDT Another reason I keep getting iPhone is every time about 9 months before contract is up, I can trade up to the new model and I get more in trade-in than I paid for the original. So I upgrade for free. Keep the same contract (unlimited access) for family plan. My wife keeps her flip phone (she cannot figure out how to turn mine on).
