Figured I'd start a new thread since Pick6 yelled at me.

Anyone recently pick up a new Android phone? I am currently leaning towards the new Moto X but might wait for details to come out about the new Nexus phone.

sherm, I'll be available tomorrow and Friday evening if your offer of checking out the Moto X was legit and you're available either day.

I just picked up the Note 3 a couple weeks ago. Love it, except a couple times a day it will freeze and reboot. Not really a big deal, it only takes about 20 seconds to reboot, but I think I'm gonna wait until the Note 4 comes out to bitch about it and try to get one of those.

I think I'm going to get an iPhone 6 Plus. iOS 8 was released yesterday and it slowed my 4S down.

I think I'm going to go to the Apple Store just to hold the 6 and 6 Plus to see how it feels in the hand. I have to see how they fit in my pocket also.

I'm heading to the VZW store in the morning to check them out too. I"m tempted by the 6+ for the couple extra features and the better battery, but I have trouble seeing that beast fitting in my pocket.

OT: The Moto X is getting some pretty great reviews...sounds like a win to me.

I need a new phone, but I want one under 5" and the problem is nearly all those are mid-tier as far specs. Actually leaning toward LAST year's Moto X.

Although I hear rumors of several Nexus phones coming (from multiple carriers, which would be a first so take with a grain of salt) and might wait to see what's in store there.

Got the LG G3 a couple months ago. LOVE IT. The battery is fantastic, especially compared to my last phone. The camera is great, and I love the screen.

Upgraded to the Galaxy S5 a couple weeks ago. Most noticeable thing so far is that it's battery life is much longer. It's a really awesome phone and makes me feel sorry for those that continue to fall into the black hole that is Apple's marketing schemes.

Been carrying the Galaxy note 3 since March. I love it. No problems whatsoever.

Justin - I leave for St. Louis tomorrow at 10am. But I'll be in the office in my house all day today.

Send me a PM with a time that works for you. Offer is still open.

They're probably going to do it in Justin's garage.

I don’t keep up with the latest Cell Phones, Tables and Whatever until I need something better.

What I need now is something that I can make calls, store documents, send e mails, and messages, create word, excel documents with the ability to save, send, copy to a flash drive and print new or revised documents. I also would like it to be able to read documents or books back to me, also a voice typing program ability.

I will be traveling more in the next year …

Suggestion…. What do I need to get

I've had the Note 3 for a couple of months now. Love it for the battery life alone.

I was amazed how much better the battery life is over my S4. Since I rooted my Note 3, the battery life is even better.

Genuinely curious...what is it about the S series that draws you to it? Obviously I haven't ever used a Samsung phone. But in my position, it'd be good to get a gauge of what draws people to the S series other than what I hear day in and day out..."everyone in my family has one and they love it" "customers come in asking for it so that's what I sell them."
