Hello Guys
Haven't done to much activity over here on the AC side of Mobile Nations. I am hoping to be active over here and i am looking for some forum users feedback on what device i should get.
My Story:
Up until now I had been using Blackberry 10 devices pretty much exclusively. I don't want to turn this into a Blackberry 10 bashing thread because i find the ignorance of some users here when taking about Blackberry 10 to be unreal (as well as vice versa on the Crackberry side regarding Android). Recently in my business i have been promoted to spearhead my companies consumer marketing campaigns that will rely heavily on Social Media and Web Design as well as analyzing and reporting on our web analytics and other similar things. Blackberry 10 even with the ability to run android apps does not have strong integration with social media there is no native or even working Facebook Page app, the Facebook app that does exist its terrible, there are no Google apps, nothing. Blackberry 10 is not a strong device for marketeers. It is also worth noting. I spend a lot of time traveling, and it is important these tasks can be easily accomplished on the go. Which is what brings me to Android. I have had android devices in the past and i am familiar with them. With the large selection of devices available i am hoping to get some feedback from forum users on what device i should consider.
My Uses
1) Social Media - As mentioned above, social media is going to become a large part of my job. Managing our social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google + etc.
2) Email - My company is an email pig. The amount of emails i field in a given day is a ton Which is what brought me to Blackberry in the first place.
3) Gaming - Playing games on my phone is not that important to me, but i am a young guy, it is something i enjoy to do on occasion when i am waiting for a meeting or just sitting around.
4) Video - Consuming and uploading video is becoming a big part of my day to day work as i begin to manage our YouTube profiles as well as monitor competitor social media. Watching a video is also my go to platform when i want to know how to do something.
5) Communication - I am in constant communication with my fellow co-workers and our customers
6) Web Design - Our website changes almost daily. Its my job to keep it up to date and sometimes i need to do this on the go
Requirements
The following are a few things to consider when i am choosing a phone.
1) price point - I don't want to spend a ton of money, if i can get a device i like for a reasonable price i will be happy
2) expandable memory - is not a must but something i would like
3) must work with WIND mobile - this is where things get tough when picking a device.
Devices I am considering
The following are a few devices i have considered i would love to hear others opinions on which they think i should choose or what their experience is with them. Ill also include some reasons why i like the device.
Huawei Ascend Mate 2 - Works with Wind, Big screen (maybe to big?), Expandable memory, Budget device CON: slow updates? still not on lolipop
OnePlusOne 64 GB Sandstone - Unique and hard to get, quality build, not to expensive, CON: Non expandable
Nexus 6 - Big screen, quality device with awesome specs, future proof?, CON: Way to expensive, or is it worth it?
LG G3 - Awesome UI, quality build and camera CON: would have to buy the T-Mobile version for it to work with WIND
Moto G Second Gen - affordable, easy to get, works with wind
Anyways sorry for the long post. Please let me know your thoughts on which device you would get in my position, or if there are any other devices not listed you might recommend please let me know! Thanks
