    Wife wants phone now...I want to wait until Spring. Help with strategy?

    Okay...here are the gory details. I was so locked up and undecided but my wife was truly at the end of her rope after being put off for close to 2 years. I went to the Verizon store and had a list of questions. I knew I would either come out of there on a no contract plan or join my...

    Wife wants phone now...I want to wait until Spring. Help with strategy?

    Thank you for the suggestions! I think I need to find out if I can port my wife over and keep myself on Sprint...without a new contract... as that would be the most appealing solution. Buying a used Verizon phone would work...just not sure if I'm going to do something on Black Friday....which...

    Wife wants phone now...I want to wait until Spring. Help with strategy?

    My wife and I are currently on Sprint and want to change to Verizon. We are out of contract. She is tired of me dragging as I have been stalling for a year. So my time with her has run out. I made a promise and have to keep it....but I'm not pleased with my choices. I have narrowed down to the...

    Should I not consider the iPhone 6?

    Just a quick update. I was aware that Lollipop might bring improvements to the camera but wasn't aware of how dramatic they might be...or how guaranteed. After doing some research it appears that Lollipop will indeed bring a lot of improvements to all Android Camera's. The more capable the...

    Should I not consider the iPhone 6?

    Yes...there is always bias. I find that sometimes with the bias people bring up things that are more (or less) relate-able. And sometimes you even get information you hadn't considered. You know what really bites is that I'm almost 100% sure that the next round of phones....like the M9 and S6...

    Wow, Great replies! Rukbat...your explanation is very thorough and gives me a much better understanding of your stance. In total I appreciate everyone's response....I think it's a nice snapshot of the various things to consider. I also appreciate the concern for my wife. She's hit with...

    Should I not consider the iPhone 6?

    : Okay...will do...and will also check out more of the differences between platforms. I think I have plenty of reading in the next few days...before taking the plunge. As a side note...if I thought Android L would solve the Droid Turbo camera deficits I would probably that route. Thanks again...

    Should I not consider the iPhone 6?

    Thanks for passing through Belodion... I appreciate your sentiments. Of course I understand why you don't want to recommend individual phones...it's always a recipe for disaster because so many people have strong opinions. I must say though that I am curious what phones really fit the bill. The...

    Should I not consider the iPhone 6?

    My experience with iOS is limited. I have spent some time on an iPad 2... but it's my wife's and I haven't really set it up, downloaded apps etc. I'm pretty simple. I like the sound of apps...have downloaded mostly free ones to my EVO...but I'm not sure I would be unhappy with apps written for...

    Should I not consider the iPhone 6?

    Okay....don't beat me up yet. I come by the question honestly and want input. And I'm not interested in going to an Apple forum to get a reply because I am currently, and always have been, on Android. I like Google stuff and have an inherent dislike of Apple. But this dislike is probably not to...
