Favorite mobile OS

[alakazam]

What is your favorite mobile operating system? Are you an iOS fan, or do you prefer Android or Windows Phone? Or perhaps Blackberry?

I enjoy android. Working for Samsung I have mastered and enjoyed touch wiz very much. I am excited to see the bloat ware scaled back for the s5 release though

Android...it has really matured over the releases...I jumped in with gingerbread and have stuck with it since.

I would have considered a windows phone on my last purchase...but the Samsung mega with a 6.3 inch screen quickly ruled out windows.
It would take alot to pull me away from android.

Well, the Nokia Lumia 1520 has a 6 inch screen and runs on Windows Phone 8. It has a 20 MP camera. You should look into it. Anything beyond 6 inches is incredibly difficult to use as a phone.

The mentioned Nokia does dont have a removable battery which rules it out
I am on a us cellular network...phone choice is limited.
I like the big screen as I use the phone for other than just a phone.
I use to like smaller phones. ..but the more I use the phone for other than calls I like the big screen...as long as it fits in my pocket...I am good.
The larger screen comes in handy while using the phone as a navigator in the inner cities as well.
My last phone has a 4.3 inch screen and was much more difficult to use for browsing the net and reading and editing documents.
Call and standby time is longer with the larger phone as the sceen is off and they will draw similar power for these conditions. ..having close to twice the call and standby power of a smaller phone.
I can type in portrait mode with the larger phone as well.
Page layout is trashed much less often on the larger phone as well.
Some apps give me the option of tablet view...which is often better.
But yeah this thing is bout as big as you can go and have pocket portability.
I dont think in would go down in the pocket far enough in many womens jeans
Women seem to have better dexterity with smaller keyboards....This is a mans phone no doubt.

How come?

 

[The Man]

How come?

If the battery needs replaced...or to be pulled for a reset.

The battery can't be replaced because it was designed to last throughout the warranty period. If it gets broken, they will replace your device. As for resetting, it comes with a small little hole in the bottom and using a needle to push through that hole will reset it.

Right which is a major hardware limitation as the battery is a wear item.
Additionally one also loses the ability to pack a spare or install a larger after market battery.
