| I've had dumbphones, an Android, and now a Windows phone. I voted for Android because I really dislike my Windows 8 phone ... I mean, it gets the job done, but the interface is ugly, Bing Maps sucks (no public transit directions!), there are very few official apps for important services (Google Maps!!), and a Chinese studying app that is extremely important to me is only available for iOS and Android. Thank goodness I have a Nexus 7! |

Acey says:01, I'm the exact opposite. My first smartphone was an Android (an EVO Shift to be exact), and I wound up hating it. It worked well at first, but I had to have it replaced at least once, and it just really sucked in general. I realize that's more of a problem with the EVO than with Android phones in general, but to be honest the experience has kinda soured me on Androids. Oops.I have an iPhone 4S now, and I love it to bits. There ARE a few things I prefer about the Android platform (more apps without the need to jailbreak and higher customization potential, mostly), but on the whole I strongly prefer my iPhone. One other thing I prefer about iOS to the Android platform is the fact that the interface is uniformly the same across all devices. That sounds like a weird thing to harp on, but my mom's Android (it was an LG of some sort) had a totally different interface from mine, so on the occasions I had to borrow her phone, I generally had no fucking clue how to use it. Never really understood the wide disparity between Android interfaces, honestly. (By the way, I apologize if any of this was confusing or poorly-worded; I just woke up. )____________________ ![]() |

>>ESTABLISHING LINK...DONE. >>FETCHING POST DATA...DONE. >>EXECUTING POSTDISP.BIN... I used to use a dumb LG KP500 phone and a Dell Axim X50 PDA for, well, PDA stuff until early this year. Bit the bullet and replaced the aging LG with a, since rooted, Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 running Android 2.3.6. Can't speak for iOS or Windows Phone, but this thing is miles better than my old phone and PDA. Well, duh, I guess. I do miss their battery runtime on the Ace 2 - turning WLAN off helps - but everything else is just far more modern, better supported, etc. Browsing the web works well (with some limitations), music and video playback - either stored locally on the phone or SD, or ex. watching YouTube videos - is fine as well, I can tweet stuff, there's a nice app for public transport here (called Öffi; find nearby bus stops, get schedules, etc), streaming radio via TuneIn Radio is great, and so on. I did somehow manage to install too much crap, or mess up the settings or something, tho, as it's been painfully slow at times recently, so I'm thinking of 1) backing up important apps and settings and 2) installing a custom ROM of sorts. Still need to read up on how to do that and what ROMs there are... It's rooted, got the CWM Recovery thingy on, haven't messed with this much further, tho. ____________________ |

I kinda use or have used every Mobile OS in one shape or another. I started with a first gen iPhone so I kinda just stuck with that. I don't use my smart phone for everything that I need.. it's my "in case of" and communications tool. Does the job. (I'm currently testing iOS 7 thanks to a friend of mine who is an Apple Dev.. so I am still very much the experimenting type )____________________ -Emuz <-The classic boring signature™ |

I used a Palm Centro for awhile, it's pretty much the perfect smartphone for people who want a smartphone but can't get a data plan for whatever reason... but Palm is dead and Palm OS is even deader, so on to the newest!
Which for me is an iPhone 4; personally my favorite mobile OS right now is Windows Phone (it just needs an Instagram app really ) but at the time I got this phone it was free on contract, and what other free on contract phone is going to be supported by the manufacturer for very long? If I bought a WP at that level and that time it'd probably have been a dead-end WP7 device.____________________

| Dumb phone. All I need a phone for is emergencies and a portable clock, and I don't like how many smartphones try to lock you into specific services and providers. Further, I wouldn't really get much use out of the extra functionality. Honestly, I wouldn't even have this if my parents hadn't insisted on paying for it. |

I use a LG dumbphone because it cost $30 and my phone service is cheapo prepaid
I also used the delightfully slow Android emulator for like a month to do game development in college if that counts ![]() ____________________ Photo by Luc Viatour |

| I've got a Kyocera Hydro myself, with Android Ice Cream Sandwich. It started out pretty great, especially for being a 99 dollar Christmas present with no contract, which means I can use it mostly as I expected to use it, like a mini tablet using Wifi to access sites and take pictures with flash and listen to music in bed and chat while away from the PC. However, I think I might be causing it to keel over some already with how much stuff I've loaded on to it. I swear it felt faster before, now I've got quite a few apps that refuse to move onto the SD card taking up space, quite a few that take up bits of memory or CPU in the background, programs that refuse to make said apps stop when not running like they should, things like Google Drive that slowly cause the phone to lag to death forcing a restart, and a constant nagging to update that might take away my root or brick it due to said root! It's hard to tell how much is the phone being lower end, how much is due to it being ICS put on something more suited for an earlier version or if it's due to my loading it with too much... it's hard to think of what I can even delete! Still, it's held up pretty great, considering, and my next Smart Phone, which will probably be some higher one I buy with my own funds in a few years when they're cheaper, will still probably be an Android. |
