Re: Help me choose a new Sprint phone
Can't trust MS but are willing to trust Google? That's kinda ironic, anyway the upcoming WP8 phones should be more than sufficient for those needs stated. In fact WP in it's current state is also sufficient.

@ OP.. I'd either go with the EvoLTE or with the Galaxy III(like mentioned by tink) If you can, take a ride up to a sprint store and play with a few different devices. See which feels best to ya(some might feel like a toy). I personally have the evo3d and love it but have been eyeballing both of these. Can't go wrong with either Last edited by lnando84; 08-25-2012 at 07:47 AM. |

And again..so what? OP specified his/her distrust for m$(& nothing of the same for google) so it's in no way ironic to him/her..maybe to you but not them!! How many times do you think the (frequent)members want to read your repetitive posts? Last edited by lnando84; 08-25-2012 at 09:23 AM. |

As far as communication, office apps, multimedia any high end phone will do. IF you chose to go Android, most of these have a Siri alternative. Now the problem comes with taking notes part. Most of the new phones come with capacitive screens instead of resistive. If you plan to take notes with a stylus like device I wouldn't recommend it. The only phone that can take notes via stylus is the Galaxy Note and LG Optimus Vu. Though neither exist on sprint at the moment. Maybe the Galaxy Note 2 will have a higher carrier adoption who knows. I say use your 14 days to try out the devices and read up on any issues each device has and see if those issues effect you or not. Quote:

Re: Help me choose a new Sprint phone
Wow. I didn't want to start a pillow fight on the forum...
I think WM was a great platform. I still like it. I am sure WP7/8 is great. However, MS decided to pull the plug on WM while being fully aware that all major providers were still selling WM phones with 2 year contracts. And they didn't merely abandon the platform, they seem to have went out of their way to kill it. They killed MyPhone. They made SkyDrive all but unusable for WM devices. I can use MS Skydrive with my wife's Android phone and our Android tablets, I can use Dropbox and Box.net with my Windows Mobile phone, but I can't use MS Skydrive on MS WM phone. Finally, Bing Navigation quits working. Again, they are perfectly aware that there are tens of thousands of users still under contract. A normal reliable company would've waited for 2 years after the major providers discontinued WM devices to kill the services. So why would I want to stick with MS ? They've fooled me once already. So, it's Android vs iOS, and looks like Galaxy III vs Evo 4G LTE. I am not getting 4G where I live, btw. I tried Android's alternatives to Siri and they suck. OTOH, I like to tinker with my devices. Also, we already have 2 Android tablets and one Android phone, it makes sense to get an Android device. Should I wait until Sprint gets iPhone 5 ? (This may not happen for a while, it seems). Perhaps then the price on smartphones would drop - right now, to upgrade to either of the Android phones would cost me $200. Also, can you compare a few features between the three phones above ? 1) Pic / video quality - I know they all have 8 mp cameras and hd video, but I assume the output isn't equal. 2) Battery life. From what I read Galaxy wins, then Evo, then iPhone ? 3) Overall "speed", feeling of the phone - which one is / feels faster ? 4) Multitasking... Android is supposed to have it but it doesn't always work on my Nexus 7 tablet. I like to be able to listen to the music while browsing internet / reading a book / editing a spreadsheet. No problems in WM, but can be problematic in Android. Although this may be device specific. Last edited by Amamba; 08-26-2012 at 01:18 AM. |
