My contract will be up soon. I want to see what the cool kids are using these days. My plan is continue to stay with one of the major carriers.

I love my galaxy SIII. It has all the features of a full blown tablet with a good screen size for a phone.

I agree, I despise TouchWiz. If you're not willing to run a different ROM, wait for the next-generation Nexus with LTE. SGS3 on 4.2.1 is pretty damn nice though, wouldn't change.Quote:

Currently running t-mobile G2 (near stock android) and I will be getting the Nexus4 next.
I'm sticking with iPhone. Not sure if this is a fair comparison but I have a Kindle Fire and added an Android shell over the top. I can't stand it.
The iPhone is just simple and intuitive. The Androids I've played with are not. They may have more features and better stuff but I hate the interface.
+1, have an iphone 5 and a kindle fire. I think I used the kindle 5 times since I bought it. It's laggy and not intuitive.Quote:

Man... Been running rooted android for so long when I go to an iPhone/iPad or stock android its like being handcuffed. Of course, I'm a geek so I'm not the target market for iDevices (although I have multiple macbooks).
My wife was android for a long time (while I was blackberry) and went to iPhone on her last upgrade. She will be back with Android on the next go around. The best thing she says about iPhones is that they have waterproof cases (Lifeproof cases, she's dunked a number of phones in the pool over the years).
lol @ people still recommending iPhones. If you don't want keyboard options, want a smaller screen in a resolution no one uses, want a desktop that disallows customization, lacks NFC, uses proprietary cables, don't value access to all files on your phone through PC...then get an iPhone. It's 2013 and Apple is still running an email client that will not let you attach files. You can't do anything with the phone, it's stuck in 2005, but hey that's "simple and intuitive".
Anyone confused by Android should probably stick with iOS.Quote:

However, for the first time ever, I'm thinking of sticking with Android. The main reason is that I want to use a Bluetooth ODBII sensor to give a real time readout of my car's data with apps like Torque Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...l.torque&hl=en).
One of the main vendors for these ODBII sensors says that their bluetooth device only works with Android. To get it to work with an iPhone, you have to use the version that provides a cable interface. The reason, he states, is that Apple charges a fee to devices that want to connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth and he's not going to pay that fee. It's incredibly stupid of Apple to do this. And it may signal the end of their dominance in the phone market due to short-sightedness.
The new Galaxy Note is pretty sweet. I'm thinking very hard about getting one.

Suhweet!!!
Google Nexus7 is nothing like Kindle Fire. Those are crap, IMHO. Love my Nexus, and it has no issues with speed or connectivity.
Got my wife one of these for Christmas...she loves it.Quote:
