Another Bloody Handset Choice Thread

Post by Vilante »

Well, it's time for a new handset. Work is buying so I can have whatever I like but there's a twist.

I like android because I run everything Google, mail/calender etc. Other than that there are things I like about iOS and things I like about android.

I like the look of the nexus but it's MASSIVE! Part of me thinks I should get an iPhone just for the size in the pocket and the quality heavy feel. Part of me also thinks that I'd be jealous of the big screen and the ice cream sandwich.

BUT, it looks like I'm also getting an iPad (the boss got one and loves it and thinks we can use them as organisers and during meetings) so would I be best off getting an iPhone for the cloud etc?

Any thoughts?

iPhone + it's ability to router to your iPad sounds like a good choice, net on the iPad using the phones sim...could be a company saving too...

I like and use Google for Mail and Cal etc but I can't stand Android so iOS works perfectly for me.

If you want android in a physically smaller phone get a Motorola Atrix (4" screen) or a Samsung Galaxy S2 (4.3")

Both are slightly bigger than an Iphone but have much larger screens

Does Windows Phone 7 work for your needs?

well, I just did a similar research through phones, and it seems the Galaxy s2 beats most other things out there hands down.
Pretty much the only exception is apple (which I'd rather not buy).

Plus I got this offer for 2 handsets on a $25 plan each, for $66/mo all up. I can't refuse that offer ;) Crazy John's.
Oh and it comes with free talk to voda & cj & (I think) 3 customers. But the fact I can talk to my wife free is the bonus here, for us.
Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?
