Thanks guys! I am going to try and use the android a bit and adjust to it while at SpiceWorld

What device do you have?
-
If you have a Samsung, you should have "S Memo" already on there. It's not the BEST, but I use it for quick stuff.
-
Papyrus is awesome.
-
-
What did you end up choosing?
-
I ended up with Papyrus and it worked great. But as a business device ie Office 365 stuff. I can't use this thing. It is a great toy and I would love it for my entertainment stuff. But for work just not worth trying to use it.
-
That's how I keep feeling about Androids. They always seem fun and cool until I try to actually get work done or need to reliably be contacted and then suddenly it isn't so much fun. For a gaming device or just a fun device they are the best, no question.

@scottalanmiller so this begs the question... what phone DOES the almighty Scott Alan Miller use?

He has an iPhone 5s i believe. There was a recent thread on the subject.
-
Yes, I use an iPhone 5s. I tried many Androids and a Windows phone and none of them compared at all. I really didn't want to be on an Apple phone but the lack of quality and reliability in the alternatives drove me back. I really put a lot of time, money and effort into Android but holy cow was it a let down. The Windows phone seemed better, and maybe it was, but the bar was pretty low to be better than Android.
And @Minion-Queen just gave a high end Samsung Android another shot and, like we discovered before, it's flashy and cool but when it comes to really working, it just falls flat.

@JaredBusch ah. Alas, I am new, only been an active member since about 8am PDT.

@scottalanmiller Even on Kit-Kat? I've like my android better than my iPhone 4s. Though I got the Blue Life 8. http://www.bluproducts.com/

It's funny that I use an iPhone, it is so basic and simple. But the reality is is that I am really into IT but I am not into "gadgets." I like IT in its business context and not in a personal use context. So for me, the iPhone is simple, reliable and a great business tool. So while it is not exciting, "not exciting" is exactly what I look for in my phone.
I also use a seven year old desktop at home and a two year old laptop. Nothing crazy, extremely basic. Just meeting business needs.

We've had a couple of brand new Android devices. The Samsung was just last week. They are getting better, but they aren't up to par yet.

same here I hate gagdgets. I think the are a distraction rather than a help most of the time. but I found my iPhone 4s to be too slow even before it broke. sometimes emails wouldn't even work.
-
I never had an issue on the iPhone 4s but have not had one in a few years now. The 5s is quite snappy. It's no speed demon of a phone, but plenty fast enough for me. The 4s is a lot slower, though.

My team calls me the gadget queen. I get gadgets from Vendors all the time. But when I use them they need to be multipurpose. Work/Play all in one. Though admittedly the only play thing I do is Facebook and Kindle app. My IOS devices do that for me. I can work in Office365 and read a book and am happy with no crashing. I have had 3 android and they just don't do what I need them to. Play wise it is a fun toy but I don't want to have to carry one for play and one for work. Not worth it to me. I am about to go into my 5th (I think) IPhone and am on my second Ipad. Wish that the windows stuff was more portable/usable but it's not there yet.
