If You Could Have Only One Phone...

[jbjtkbw007]

To this day, my Windows phone experience has been one of the best I've ever had. I would have loved to have gone the Continuum route with something like the 950XL, but the app selection finally started to bother me when they began pulling apps (looking at you Chase bank). Windows Phone OS was a smooth experience and in conjunction with my Sync system in my car, it was amazing. That was the best handsfree experience ever, especially when it came to messaging as you could speak an entire text conversation using that platform. You could literally start a text conversation and never even touch the phone. It was jaw dropping to me.

Soooo... Are you saying that if you could only have one phone, it would be a Windows phone?

I really miss my Note 7, so I'd like that back. But otherwise, I love my iPhone 7 Plus. It's an amazing phone and it feels like a great Note 7 replacement, minus the software.

Easy. Motorola RAZR. Now that was a phone! As it is, my GS7 Edge does twice as much as everything I'm ever likely to need, and with beauty and style.

May I comment again on this : I share the preferences of some
AC-Members for Google Pixels and other-1s >>Go by RAZR from

Motorola we got what we prefer. I suffer from a PhoneMania
selection, when I've to buy a new phone I can think

further than iPhone & samSung - Feel No
attraction for other brands-weird Ehh!

You can't do the conversation now on android? I use the voice text all the time on my phone hands free in the car and get some good texts and email responses even out without much trouble at all. Using Note 5. Sometimes S7Edge.

Actually, yes. The overall experience on the platform was buttery smooth. Even better than my current S7Edge.

No I can't. On my Nokia 1020, when I would receive a text, my Ford Sync would say "You have a text message from <INSERT NAME HERE>. Would you like to read it or ignore?" If I say read it, it would automatically read the message and then ask me what I would like to do "Reply or Cancel". If I chose to reply, it would ask me to state my message. Then, it would send it.

To initiate, all I had to do was hit the speak button on my steering wheel and say "Call Cortana" and then I could say who I would want to text. None of this can be done on my current phone. When I get a text, I get a pop up notification on my display that I can't read, but I can have it read by pressing the screen, thus taking my eyes off of the road. It's not nearly the same or even as safe as with the Windows Phone experience.

lol, even Microsoft employees aren't willing to say that. jk, the OS on WP is actually pretty decent, the apps suck, app selection sucks and it's not a realistic alternative for most people, but someone who's never used a smartphone would have no issues as long as they never knew what other devices were like.

If the Moto Z Play's camera wasn't so horrible, that would probably be the one.
BlackBerry Passport comes a close second, but lack of a decent browser proves its Achilles' heel.

I'm going to have to say anything with stock Android installed on it. What that being said, the Pixel.

What's it like being a sensible and well-balanced human being?
I have....more than one.

ROF!!! Me too, until I get the next one...which won't be until next year at the earliest judging by this year's upcoming selections.

Had to share the hilarious typo on Tmobile site for the LG G6.

 

[Morty2264]

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the next Honor 8 (9?). Or the LG G6.

 

[dby2011]

It would be the G6 with 64GB memory and the DAC....but I live in the US and apparently wireless charging is more important.

Note 7 that phone was sleek! But I am loving my LG V20.....
