Hello all, i am a current BB user/abuser, and my work has decided to switch service providers, and with that, we will get to pick a device of our choice. Up til now, all work issued devices were BB's. Here are the list of devices we get to choose from:
Apple: iPhone 4s, 5s 16/32/64GB
Samsung: SG3, SG4, SGN2
BlackBerry: z10 & q10
right off the bat I noticed the z30 and sgn3 were missing from that list. i have tried my hardest, and my company rep would not budge. it for sure is out of the question.
I am not interested in the Apple choices. Maybe if this were sometime after the iphone6 got released, may i would have gotten it. but i need the viewing real eastate.
neither am i interested in the SG3 or q10..for sure.
So that leaves the SG4, Note 2 and the z10. I already know about the z10. My wife has one. So that leaves the SG4 and Note 2...this is where my problem is....
would it make sense at all getting the Note 2 at this point ? Two service providers i spoke to said the note 2 was already marked as end of life items in their inventory. they are no where to be found on their websites. As far as I can tell, I will not be able to get the Note 3, so its the 2 or nothing as far as my galaxy note options go.
And then theres the SG4. read through a bunch of threads obviously lots of people like the device, but it seems there have been lots of complaints about it.
I find that the stock android keyboard on the SG4 is just plain terrible. then i got to use swiftkey..to me just as bad. after all, im coming from a blackberry. BUT, i think i would just need to get used to it.
If it does make sense getting the note 2, how is it for reliability as compared to the sg4. does kitkat fix all of that ?
Thanks for your time,i look forward to reading the responses.
Oh..i gotta make up my mind by friday. otherwise, i will be given a q10 by default.
