Location, location, location. I know of massive sweeping areas where Verizon has absolutely zero coverage (no roaming either) or 100 kbps data speeds.
I was an HTC fan, thought I was switching to Samsung, but that Nexus 6 is looking good... ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2014 4:29:55 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Oh holy oracle of AF Verizon definitely has the best coverage....and highest prices. I'll never use another carrier after having tried them all. I have an ongoing love affair with HTC Android phones. They are pure awesome.

Definitely recommend either one. Can't speak for the lower end phones. On Dec 20, 2014 12:16 PM, "Chuck McCown via Af" < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> Huge holiday discussion at my house. Two members of the family need new phones. I have never been a big Apple fan but the only smart phone I have ever owned is an iPhone 4. Still have it. Charge it once a week. Fat, dumb and happy. Wife uses a Samsung Galaxy Infuse and needs a new phone. I have some kids that have iPhones and we all like the find friends apps so we can spy on each other. One kid has lost his phone and needs a new one. That kid and my wife are shopping for phones and plans. Kid is OK with Apple products. His mother has anxiety about leaving Android. Kinda like I want her to vote Democrat or join PETA... (Which is totally weird as I associate Apple with Birkenstock wearing, Dreadlocks, Cigarette Smoking, BA degrees, Wine, Liberal, Democrat, Tree Hugger and folks that use crystals to align their chakras). We are all on a pay as you go “mobile value share” plan with AT&T. No matter what we decide I get to pay. The new phones are pretty expensive. But they will amortize depending on the plan. Too lazy to even attempt to understand the plans from the different carriers, the different phones, etc etc. I have used less than 0.01 GB of data in the last month. Phone are for talking on. But I realize that my buggy whip factory stock is probably worthless too. So my opinion as to features is irrelevant as I still read books printed on plant matter. (I do like the built in camera and a solar panel orientation and location app) (And a hymn book...) But I would like to get a good value. I care more about price than features or OS. Not so the rest of the clan. (As in Scottish Clan, OK, not Klan). So if anyone can help me pick a direction It would be appreciated. </blockquote>
