What is your next smartphone going to be?

[pete8314]

The iPhone has several ways of making things easier to read. Check out the Settings->General->Accessibility. The one I use a lot is "Zoom" where you can double tap the screen with 3 fingers, and zoom in or out or drag the part of the screen you cannot see. Also setting the text size larger helps in some cases.

Or, just put on those glasses...

I already have the larger text size enabled, but anything beyond that is recognition of 'getting old', which I'm not yet ready for! I'm getting better with the glasses, I have one 'expensive' pair from the opticians, and 6 pairs of Costco readers scattered around, so normally they're within grabbing distance, but not always...

I think I'd like to get a Nokia 1020 this year, mostly for the camera. I've had a iphone 3g, iphone 4 and currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

We just got an iPhone 5s (ATT), and in a day or so will be ordering a 5s (Verizon) as well. That should make the Europeans giggle.

Sorry, I have to be different...Blackberry Z30.

It's less annoying than my wife's iPhone 5 and the data plan is awesome, fixed price with unlimited data usage and global roaming.

I'm looking forward to the iPhone 6 with a bigger screen. Will pre-order when announced.

I'm trying to be better. I've had the original iPhone, 3G, 4, 5 and 5S too.

I had the original iPhone and then upgraded to iPhone4. I generally upgrade when it no longer does what I need it to do.

That is the smart way to handle things. I really need to just start doing that. The iPhone 6 will be a significant update to the 4 that it might be worth an update.

I'm the only android in a house full of apples. When we go on trips and spend all day out, then back to the hotel room before all night out, I just swap out the battery on my Galaxy S4 while the rest of my family tries to quickly get a charge (iphone range anxiety!). Don't get me wrong, I like apple, but with no microSD or battery swap access, forget about it! My 64 gb card lets me capture the whole trip without having to download to a laptop and my reading glasses don't go out with me so I also need the larger screen.

I just picked up a Moto G and switched carriers, mostly because the phone will pay itself off in 10 months or so, but also because of better coverage (but far slower data).

One + one.

My wife is using a Lumia 520, and myself as well, after breaking my (my wife's actually) Lumia 1020's screen from a nasty fall at Gilroy Premium Outlets while Supercharging. I'm looking to get the 1020 repaired and giving it back to my wife. Next time I'll purchase my Windows Phone from the Microsoft Store and purchase one of their insurance plans. According to a MS Store rep, a $50 deductible will get me a new replacement phone, same or new model if the model has been discontinued. I understand AT&T's insurance plan only gets you a refurbished model.

When my contract ends this year, I will hopefully be able to get a Lumia Icon/930 phone that supports the AT&T bands for 4G LTE. A quad core, 1080p refresh of the Lumia 1020 would be nice, too. If not, I might settle for the 1520 which should be cheap under contract by November. Not sure how that one will fit in my pants pocket.

I've got a HTC one (m8) Dev edition and my last long term phone (as in 3 months) was a nexus 5.

I don't mind the m8, I used an s5 for two weeks and that was terrible.

Going from nexus to HTC sense to Samsung touchwiz was just too much.

Back to the M8. Looking forward to the LG g3 release and android silver/nexus replacement.

Also interested in the iPhone 6, as an avid iphone user until the 5 (terrible battery life and lack of customization killed it for me), I'd be interested in seeing if the iPhone 6 will be revolutionary

I have the galaxy note II, which I love. So I'll probably get whatever the newest version of that is when I'm ready for a new one. I have no reason to switch right now!

 

[caddieo]

No category in the poll for troglodytes like me who see no need to buy a new phone?

 

[mknox]

With my current iPhone 4, I'm way overdue. I used to be a big Windows Mobile fan but flipped over to iPhone when Microsoft killed that platform. The new Windows Phone is starting to grow on me, but I think I've settled on the new HTC One (or maybe the new Samsung Galaxy). Just not thrilled about having to re-acquire all of the apps I have on the iPhone!

Replaced both my wife and my phone with droid maxxs. Thin, good screen, robust battery. Personally boycotting Samsung for their abuse of patents.

I've done the same as you and I have had the HTC for 2 days, so far it seems to be a way superior phone than the LG/nexus 5

You replaced your wife with a phone?!?

I would be missing some body parts if I tried that!:biggrin:

I've been happy with my Nexus 5... it just cannot be match for its price to performance ratio. Being totally unlocked is a huge bonus also- no more two year contracts for me :smile:
