Thread: What type of Smartphone do you use?

Should be revealing...

When the Midget decided to increase her confusion level with regard to white man's magic and get a Samsung Galaxy, I inherited her Nokia 610. And yes, it's pink.



Works fine, but I'd be just as happy with a stupidphone.

If you think I'm putting other Android then you're are mistaken, you fukin bastardosmaximos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you...my nokia 1200 stupidphone hasn't let me down...yet

I've used iPhones since the iPhone 3G. Before that I was an avid blackberry fan. After my wife bought an iPhone and I got to playing with it I quickly realized that the iPhone left the BB in the dust.

I have bought and used for a hefty amount of time the Samsung galaxy 3-4 but after using the iPhone with iTunes and the AppStore any android phone felt cheap and clunky.

I quite like samsungs phones from a tech standpoint. However the OS/apps/store leave so much or be desired.

I'm not a die hard apple fan but for me android has yet to match am iPhone in a "total package" type battle. Now saying that I'm not in a rush to replace my iphone 5 with an overpriced iPhone 5s or 5c.... Yet.

iPhone.

Samsung S3 with a totally fucked screen.

Sony Xperia

All comes down to the screen size for me. I watch TV on mine in bed and the iphone screen is way too small.

If I wanted a phone for just a phone no internet or TV, then the iphone would be the perfect size.

Sony Xperia V.

Love that it's waterproof and dust proof and gobs cheaper than an iPhone 5, but in my humble opinion Android still can't compete with the Apple OS.

The Xperia has the same screen size but typing on it sucks beyond belief. It also has an annoying habit of freezing and crashing, something my iPhone 3 and 4 never did...

Pluses for the Xperia- removable microSD card, more durable screen, slightly better quality camera, dust and water proof.

Pluses for the iPhone- easier to use, better OS, iTunes way better than Google Play.

I think I'll keep the Sony Xperia, but it definitely has some shortcomings...

Samsung Hero stupid phone for me.

Can make calls, do texts, play audio books and has an FM radio function. It can also handle multiple alarms at different times and has a nifty "auto reject" function that I use to ignore the spam robocalls from 3BB etc.

It can also play films but what is the point of trying to watch a film on a 2 inch screen?

Every time I drop it it pops apart but once I put it back together it works fine. It is light, has good battery life and cost a bit over 1,500 Baht IIRC.

Sony Experia. ( previously HTC Desire HD )

Just upgraded from Galaxy S2 to S4 as my contract was up and I was due a free upgrade. I was thinking of the note2, but it was just too big.

Just got given an HTC Android, I use it for Solitaire purposes only. My 10 quid, bottom-end Nokia takes care of my phone calls.

[QUOTE="Aberlour"]All comes down to the size for me in bed
there I corrected for you

My Motorola Droid does not work in Thailand so last time bought a cheapy thing that worked good for phone calls

LG Optimus Spirit

$49 at Woolworths, $2 unlock.
Works throughout Asia and Australia.

I still have the same Sony W890i that I bought in 2008. The buttons are a bit small, for my ham-fisted fingers, and it has a tendency to crash, whenever it receives a text, but I would not part with it now. Besides, I prefer to surf the net with a decent size screen, in the comfort of my living room!

Must be about a year ago when I needed to replace a waterlogged iPhone 3G, and the iPhone 5 had just become available. Having nearly all things Apple (iMac, MacBook Air, numerous iPods etc), should have been straightforward, however I read the spec of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and thought I'd take a look. Holding both (phones that is....) in my hands, I preferred the S3 for the larger screen. Applications wise, I don't see a great deal of difference, and not being a slave to iTunes I view as a benefit and not a loss. Any media that I want on the S3 doesn't have to be converted first to mp4 and put into iTunes, moving files between the S3 and Kies (Samsung's iTunes equivalent) couldn't be easier. Being able to expand the memory by up to 64Gb, plus change the battery are alone good reasons to choose the Samsung.

A couple of months ago, the wife got a S4, which really is the dogs bollocks, camera particularly. Some people comment on the lower quality of the Samsung bodies, though personally I think they're good, particularly the S4.

I've got some kind of Samsung - a hand-me-down from my wife. It's got a very decent app on it for learning Chinese but if it weren't for that, I'd probably go back to using my 800 baht Nokia.

Galaxy S4- I quite like it, though it's overkill for my needs.

you don't need kees - both the phone memory and card will just mount as a drive in "my computer"

LG Optimus

Use Virgin mobile and it costs me $25 a month and I get unlimited data. If I get a new phone the plan price goes up.
