Which Cell Phone do you own?

The other wrinkle is that if I get another BMW bike then I could fit it with their smartphone cradle, which is due in the second quarter of next year.

This holds up to a 5 inch phone, which is good for the Nexus 5X or Blackberry Priv, but too small for the Nexus 6P. It also offers wireless charging via QI as well as using a micro USB socket.

iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S plus? Does size matter on mobile screens?

[louisbosco]

depends what you really do with it. initially i thought the plus was massive, but after using it, the size grew on me and it's really helpful watching videos if you're just waiting around for people to turn up and what not…

the only downside being that it will not fit in whichever pocket you put it in perfectly anymore.. or in certain places in the car and such..

[Megatron1505]

I mainly use my phone for web browsing etc, so the bigger screen appeals. The jeans pocket thing is what's holding me back so just wondering how much of an issue it is?

[Chris]

I still have my old Galaxy Note 2, which is only slightly smaller than the 6S Plus.  You get used to the size, and you get used to putting it in a back pocket, where it fits just fine.  Big screens are the way to go, especially for someone called _Mega_tron.

Jody and I went with the 6S as we find there is a computer or tablet nearby when we want to just tool about on the internet.

[louisbosco]

depends on where you put it, i never put my phones in the front cause it never sits well, as for the back pockets, the stick out a little but when i say little it's probably less than 1cm…

I was lucky to replace my very old crappy phone with a Galaxy S6 from a fellow member, but as I don't care much for stuff like that wasn't aware how huge it is. No chance to fit it in chestpockets of shirts or denim jackets. It's a bit of a bummer, as a significant purpose of a mobile phone should be to be easily carried. :-\

Not sure wether I'll roll with carrying it with the pocketflaps open, I might be too OCD for that.

Who else is a fan of this beast?

I'm catching up… I now own a 2012 cell phone!.. Namely the HTC One S. Beautiful bit of kit, and smarter than I am (which isn't saying much but still)...

Had to use AirDroid to transfer files though, wouldn't connect through the PC... 

[Giles]

Two tins and a bit of string would be smarter that you….

[Seul]

Yeah I'm not telling you the story of how I washed my whipcord 816s with my GATs and how I had to wash my whips two more times afterwards cause they had white specs/ dust all over them (inside and out)…

To everyone who had the pleasure (?) to deal with both: do you prefer Android or iOS?

[rocket]

iOS, whenever I have to sort something on a Android phone, I get serious anger management issues… not mine

[Chris]

That's how I feel about iOS.  Objectively, there's probably not a huge difference, just personal preference as to which is "better".

[sabergirl]

I think iOS is more intuitive to folks who just want to mash buttons. During my brief foray into Android, it seemed like  it could be really great if you wanted to take the time to learn it, and customize it for yourself. I am just not a patient gadget person. I want to be able to take it out of the box, and feel like I can already do most things without any effort.

[gaseousclay]

I have an android and it sucks. Mine's on the verge of dying and there are times when I want to chuck it at the wall and smash it into a million pieces. the iphone was far better imo

[Giles]

One year I was in Val d Isere for New Year's eve.  I was in one of the hotel bars and everyone, and I mean everyone, except me, was on their iPhone around midnight.  I vowed at that point, never to join that club.  I got an Android (can't even remember which) instead.  Within 6 months I had a iPhone…..
