Android, mainly text messages (very important in my job), photographs as a preliminary reminder, memo device to do list, voice recorder to do list, internet hot spot for my notebook, excellent emergency device, very little use as a phone.
Yes, that is something I really like about iPhones. In terms of the phones themselves, I prefer Android phones due to the larger screen sizes, the pretty much endless choice of phones to choose from and the very low prices, if you stay away from high end flagship models. Because of that I'm not going to switch to an iPhone anytime soon.
I have used various backup apps and have had problems with all of them I think. The problem stems from the fact I'm using cheap Chinese phones rather than really popular big brand name phones.
I bought a Windows Phone Nokia 635 in September but traded it 2 weeks ago for an Android Moto G. they are the same price but the Moto G is a much nicer phone with a lot more features than the Nokia. not to mention that the Android OS is a lot more mature than Windows Phone. and there are much more apps for Android. and the apps that are available for both platforms are always nicer and have more features on Android. I should've went for the Moto G in the first place. oh well.
I recently purchased a Moto E for $10 new on sale a Walmart with a StraightTalk $45 per month plan. Previously I had a relatively more expensive Nexus 4. Besides the Nexus 4 having a flash and being a hair larger, there really doesn't seem to be $400 of difference between the two to me. My next phone will not be a high end, expensive one in the $400- $600 range but something more mid-level or below that just gets the job done...along with a no contract plan.
I use MS Lumia 520 windows phone. I've been using it for almost two years now. It's still running strong. I use it mainly for browsing, emails and news. I sometimes use it for messaging, games, weather and taking photos. I rarely use it for calling.
Android smartphone used for: a) web browsing, feeds b) Youtube c) WhatsApp - simply because that's what my friends/colleagues use d) portable hotspot I don't really call/sms that often but I am a heavy data user.
Google Nexus 5 for everything, rooted. See my blog for more details. Nokia Lumia 520 for music, offline maps, and backup.
Ive been using a Cubot One-S (rebranded as a Tronsmart TS7) Android phone for about 9 months now. The specifications are nothing remarkable, but it's fine for the $95 I paid for it. The battery life is reasonable, and the build quality is very good. However, the limited internal storage space, and the lack of upgrades to anything later than Android 4.2 are big issues. My financial situation is very limited right now, which has stopped me from buying a better phone. When I've got some money to spare I'll probably buy a refurbished LG G2, as I can get a US model which supports the 3G and 4G frequencies my mobile network uses, for around $170.
