Plenty to choose from, I have put the main players above.

I will do a new poll on iOS Vs Android shortly.

Cheers, Diesel

PS - I am a swinging voter. Voted iPhone as it is my current phone, just waiting for new Galaxy S4 to be released here.

I don't have a smartphone. I have a DumbPhone which can only make phone calls or send text messges (which I've just learned about), and I'll be devestated when the time comes and I can only replace it with a technowonderbox that does a whole bunch of stuff that I don't need or want, while costing me a fortune to buy and feed with "plans".

I guess I sound like a technophobe!

Mine is a Galaxy Mini s5570 which isn't so small in size....lol......

I use mine mainly for music and as a back up GPS using the Navigon app that came with it. I have tried the camera, the quality is ok but no where near as good as a dedicated decent camera.

For a two for one deal
Heather has a Galaxy 580
and the 10.1 wi-fi Tab came with it.

We haven't really found a use for the Tab yet.......I loaded Sygic GPS software on it and in the car it's a great GPS and I can read the numbers without my reading glasses. I have a bike fuel app as well........basic but it works.
Music and Video players are good so I've put some of that stuff on.

Both of us only mainly use our smartphones as basic phones.........we have computers to do the rest.

Iphone 4S for me i use google maps and navigon for my GPS, as well as using it as my speedo, we are an apple based house, and i know mine works, i just did 5,000km of testing with all my apps and only had two instances where we could have gone the shorter route, but it still got us there.

the Google Maps app is becoming my major app as it finds everything without having to go mucking around looking for points of interest.

my iphone worked seamlessly with my Sena unit as well.

I've also got an iPad 2, my missus has an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3!

Google maps works just fine & it operates well with the scala headset.

I have a simple flip samsung that has great battery life and rural coverage (Next G). I can pair it with the autocom direct or through the Zumo660. I can look up weather and news for no extra cost.

Biggles · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2013, 06:03:06 PM »

$200 Samsung Galaxy Ace that does all I want and then more. Previously I was a dyed-in-the-wool Nokia owner, but didn't like their operating system- preferred to go with the masses on Android.

Currently have a Motorola Defy however I plan to replace it with a Sony Xperia Z 4G. The Xperia is dust and water resistant which suits me in a tropical climate, it's also apparently quite robust which I like.

Update.......... I now have the Sony Xperia Z, got it on a plan and the girl at bFone Zone threw in a case and gave me $15 off the (universal) vehicle mount that I'll be using on the bike. Overall very happy.

got to change my vote as some idiot* lent his trailer to one of sons. had keys in pocket under phone for the lock to secure hitch and as said idiot* pulled phone out and placed said phone on bumper bar

. idiot* said to self "don't forget to pick up and replace to pocket"! anyway idiot* forgot

, drove off to do other stuff. idiot* went to use

phone and

realised what HAS happened. ring ring talk talk to supplier stop, suspend and found was eligible for "upgrade". as it turned out the nexus was a disappointment and very basic (not reason for loss as no insurance) and replace with galaxy s4 (what a devise) and starting to love it

. nisi has s3 4g so had some experiences with setups

legend:
* not ME

hum

uhhh

ok was me

I am weighing up options, I am pondering to change or not, we have so many apple products in the house, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, docking stations in house and shed, plus with all the money paid for apps, just not sure what to do....

BigTed · « **Reply #24 on:** May 12, 2013, 12:11:45 PM »

I have the Galaxy S3 after having had an iPhone 3GS for 2 years. I prefer the S3 in terms of function and what you can do with it. While the iPhone "user experience" is better, I'm unlikely to shift back to Apple.

However, the S3 isn't as reliable with my Sena SMH10 (occasional connection issues, difficulty with voice dialing, etc.). If Mr Samsung fixed that is be totally happy.
