[COLOR=#red]Serious question, if you had to choose a phone for your business which one would you choose?

Take into account the availability of non consumer apps.

I'm thinking about going iPhone for work and any of the new Androids for play. For instance grasshopper is a phone service that makes your company have a premium feel to it with their telephone interface, but the Android version is not as fully featured as the iOS version. And there's a few more apps like that. It's really frustrating when you actually prefer Android.[/COLOR]

iPhones for businesses for sure.

Agreed, unfortunately. Or you can roll like those tech bloggers with the Blackberry Priv.

Just got a tab 4 7" for 25 bucks. Gav3 it to the son and i notice trying to connect to a sprint. Just realized it's a LTE Sprint edition. My question, can i unlock and use with tmo?

Do you know if its a Tab 4 purchased from Sprint, or does it just have a Sprint SIM? Check the model number. If its a CDMA only device, you're out of luck.

Edit: I think that model was one of Sprint's first SPARK enabled devices. If so, no way to unlock it for a GSM carrier like T-Mobile since its a CDMA device.

SMT237P

Just looked it up CDMA .... oh well. As long as i can use it as a tablet well worth the 25 bucks.

If you happen to know someone with an Octoplus box they might be able to help you... assuming they don't care about breaking a few end user agreements.

Short of completely reprogramming the device, theres not much else you can do unfortunately.

 

[keko jones]

I'm actually using it now as just a tablet. Put it on airplane mode in order to eliminate the annoying message and connected it to WiFi.

 

[keko jones]

The lte feature is good but tmo gives me 14gb pet line of Hotspot and i have 3v lines do I'm good when on the road.

 

[dathbgboy]

I'm choosing Android or Windows Mobile for the simple fact that you can't attach documents to an email in iOS

 

[celticspride34]

Potentially dumb question... My phone only supports up to 32gb micro SD... I have a 64gb... Is there any way to use it without root?.. Any apps?... Please and thank you...

Kinda bored with my Moto X Pure and the battery life is meh. If it had a removeable battery so i could swap them when one dies i'd be fine but yea.....  Been out of the thread for a while, what's the consensus best phone out right now? 

Considering maybe even going to iPhone as much as I hate them, only because i use my phone so much for business now and being able to send/recieve videos without the sizing getting fd up and having facetime would be kind of key. I really don't want to have to do this though, so someone steer me towards the best Android phone right now please

Nexus 6P or Galaxy S7 Edge...V10 and Note 5 are still pretty solid also

Pop the card into the phone and it should ask to format it so it can be used or hope on a pc and format to fat32 using something like easeus partition manager. (backup anything you have on the card first of course)

The phone doesn't even recognize it ... And the point is to not not delete the contents on the card, that's what I want to get to... I don't have a laptop...

My tablet died... That's why I'm in this situation...

 

[ohokalright]

Might just have to borrow one/buy and return/jack one then :\

Unless yeah or someone has a good solution.

Girl copped a black S7 Edge

 

[AZwildcats]

What does an iPhone do so much better that would make it a better than a high-end android? I'm pretty sure you could survive just fine with a S7 Edge or 6p as a business phone

 

[airblaster503]

Was waiting on the G5 but I can get a good discount on an S7 Edge... Might have to give Samsung another try

"In their reviews, both Walt Mossberg and Dan Seifert ripped into the GS7 for allowing what has come to be called "crapware." Dan writes "Verizon adds thirteen more apps, including three from Amazon, another text messaging app, another streaming music app, and a navigation app that competes directly with Google Maps." Walt lays out essentially the same argument, then notes issues that are even worse:

"The setup process also guided me to using Verizon’s messaging app rather than Samsung’s and a Verizon backup service. It even warned me I might lose important stuff if I didn’t sign up for the Verizon service. At one point, I received a gaudy, jarring full-screen Verizon ad urging me to send retail gift cards via messaging. I also received a notification urging me to let Verizon show me how to speed up visits to its stores." "

Feel like if these are the brunt of the concerns, the phone itself has got to be pretty stellar. 

 Only the Nexus phones can escape the bloat, so for there to be this much discussion about it during the S7 release is impressive.
