So, I thought I’d kick things off here with some community building.

Quote this post with answers to the below!

What phone are you using?

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

    What phone are you using? Motorola Edge

    Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? I love it! None of the Motorala apps are aggressively integrated and launching by themselves, and they are actually useful.

    I am not sold on curved screen. I use a case so I don’t really benefit from it. Some apps extend inro the curve and get awkward to use.

    Just a clean Android experience.

    Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Before I was using Samsungs. The earlier ones were solid but they eventually become unusably bloated and hostile with their own apps. It advertised to me the way Microsoft Windows does, which I hate.

    Had some iPhones. Nothing to complain about. It used to feel limited compared to the tweakability of Android, but I am not much of a power user. Plus, I actually buy stuff from the iOS App store, the quality is better, and I trust Apple infinitely more than Google.

    Best phone I ever had was a Blackberry. I adored that thing. I miss physical Qwerty keyboards. I would give up my large high rese screen to get that back.

    Blackberries were as tweakable as Androids too!

    How often do you upgrade to a new phone? I try to keep my phone as long as possible. Phone technology is not progressing like it used to, it is all slabs of metal, glass, and plastic. I don’t take a lot of pictures, so the camera is not a concern.

    What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Felt it was the most economical option for a good Android tablet at the time. I like it. It has Dex which I only used once… gonna try it out again.

    Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) Got a few Apple iPads, the best being the iPad Pro. The big screen is gorgeous and nothing beats reading PDFs on it, especially text books. I also bought like every synth on the App Store, which is still a FRACTION of the price for a single analog synth, even a cheapo Behringer clone.

        Blackberry really had a chance to survive, not EVERYONE wanted an iPhone and Google was beginning to get suspicious by the time Android launched.

        It sucks when good technology dies.
