I've been with Apple and the iPhone since the original. I currently have the iPhone 6. I'm on Verizon.
[waits for boos to die down]
Recently, however, I've started my own business (law firm). I'm looking for a more "professional" oriented device. The other day my girlfriend asked me what I thought about the iPad Pro. I said if I were a creative professional, maybe, but for more traditional business, I would shoot myself if I had to do anything serious on iOS. That got me thinking about all of my devices.
I work on Windows 10; I recently purchased a Windows laptop and I have my eyes peeled for the Surface Pro 4 announcement. I'm gearing more and more of my devices toward work and play, rather than just play. I have no desire to buy a Windows phone however. I toyed with the idea of adding a second line with the Note 5 strictly for business, but then I'd be that guy with two phones.
The Note 5 seems to be a fantastic business phone from what I've read, and I'm thinking of taking the plunge. I love the SideSync feature, which seems underrated, at least on paper. Not having to look away from my computer to take or make a call is great, especially if I'm in the middle of writing something.
I've always had a couple of with the Android eco-system that has kept me from taking the plunge previously:
1. The "scattered" update schedules. Some devices ship with one version, others with a different version, some get upgrades quickly, some never do. That bothers me, especially as someone prone to "latest and greatest" envy. Has this been addressed at all? Is it possible to get updates on your device before they're officially released by carriers (torrents, etc)?
2. App disparity. However, I know there is almost no difference these days, so this concern is not really one.
So my primary concern is with 1.
I would also like to hear from anyone else who has made the switch from iPhone to the Note 5, and their experiences, especially when it comes to business.
Thanks for humoring me!
