So You Want To Buy A Smart Phone...

Galaxy S6 Active here... amazing, Same power of the normal s6 but it works underwater and shock proof... Also best battery life of any phone out.

Had an Iphone 4s forever and got a SAMSUNG note5 a couple of weeks ago

This has really brought my mobile pornography game to the next level 10/10 would buy again

I like the s pen and complementing Android apps

Josiah this thread is highly reminiscent of a kawar thread...

So you wanna buy a smart phone?
Come on let's go and look
I never get your calls
They always get dropped
It's like you've gone away-
We used to be teammates on CoC
And now we're not
I wish you would just buy!
So you wanna buy a smart phone?
Or you could just get a flip phone...

So you wanna buy a smart phone?
There are so many apps for us to use
We could start to talk in emoji
And then we'll see
some virals on Youtube!
Why are you still on your Nokia
playing snake;
who cares about your top score...?

...

Josi?
Please, I know you're in there,
People are asking where you've been
They say "have courage", and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you, just let me in
I regret getting you an iPhone
You're on it 24-7
You have an addiction, just admiiiiiiiit...

Please put down the smart phone...

speaking of which, I wonder what the latest version of Netscape Navigator is

Josiah, I am disappoint. Not a single mention of the HTC family of phones.

Another good section to add may be the new bunch of budget phones with killer performance including the new Moto G and Asus Zenfone 2 etc. Cool idea tho!

Since you filled out the iPhone section first, I'm assuming you have one? In which case... I will disregard all additional technology advice you give.

People are allowed to have other preferences. It doesn't make them ignorant about other options.

It was a joke...

I have got note 5 1 week ago, So good.

HTC One > everything else. pls.

Figure I'll throw out some pros and cons for the passport, love this phone!

BlackBerry Passport

Pros:
-Awesome Battery Life (3450 mAh).
-Large Screen.
-Physical Keyboard! (Bonus: it's capacitive so you can scroll through webpages/reddit/emails with it!)
-Blackberry Hub , great unified inbox.
-Can run many android apps in addition to BB10 apps.
-Great UI.
-Size, personally I love the size of this (no problems fitting it into my pockets), but this is going to be subjective.
-Blend, Windows/OSX/iOS/Android app that can connect to your phone via wifi/cell network which lets you access files, email, texts, bbm etc. I've used this quite a few times on days working from home and just done all my email through blend for the day via my pc.

Cons:
-Screen is 4:3 aspect ratio, so it's not that great if you watch a lot of videos. Some games/android apps will only be displayed with black bars on the side.
-UI is similar to other smartphones, but most of the primary actions are touch based, so it can take some time getting used to.
-Google play services support. While you can get a version of this on there, it's not perfect and some apps will not work properly if they require play services.
-Android app performance may be lacking for some apps (Most that I've used work quite well).
-Fewer apps available than other platforms.
-No Flash Support, although this is becoming less of an issue as flash dies out.
-Camera is decent, but nothing amazing

my 2 cents

The Android OS is more robust than iOS

there, I said it

as a bonus: Android has an actual file system

EDIT: Might as well give a little more while I'm here

I use a Samsung Note 3 and I'm loving it

Pros:
o Screen size (if you have big pockets)
o Stylus
o Android
o SD card compatibility

Cons:
o Screensize (if you have small pockets)

I know people will laugh, but if you are on a budget or don't care enough to buy something higher end. Microsoft lumia 640 is a decent phone.

Idk at 80 dollars it's hard to beat. Also works on AT&T Go plan which is only 40 dollars a month.

I have a note 3 and have been saving my upgrade for over a year for the note 5. Now I'm not so sure... The lack of a micro SD slot and removable battery really turn me off. Any suggestions? Live in California on AT&T plan. Looked at the OnePlus line, and am really only interested in Android.
