Yeah, I think I'm going to rule out the iPhone. I've enjoyed the variety of aps available with a droid and I'm not sure I'd have as many choices with Apple. I've talked to a couple of the other techs in my group that feel the same way, one is a droid geek that tried an iPhone for a year and plans to go back to a droid and the other is an iPhone guy that wants to get a droid. I know that IOS is a kickass system, but I'm afraid of being locked down to what they want to give me and nothing else. Just doesn't really fit my 70's hippy persona... I gotta be free, man. For what I use my phone for (four different e-mail systems, on-line searching, texting, very little calling) I think that the Note 2/3 would be awesome. I just don't know how I'm going to carry the damn thing. Like I said before, I'm not a pocket carry guy and the thing is mighty big to hang on my hip. Lots of good opinion here, lots of good info. Really appreciate it.
