Tech Time to replace my Galaxy ll phone

[MARIS61]

1. Voice calls mostly
2. Some texting, but too time consuming for all the details I usually need to cover
3. Check email sometimes, but almost never answer as email from phone (see #2)
4. Actually use the flashlight quite frequently
5. I'm anticipating far more useful apps will come along in the near future, a taser app would be nice or a water purifier app, but I also see mobile phones as we know them being obsolete within the next decade.

For your use it really doesnt matter. Id look at like this, did you like the G2? Do you want more of that or do you feel like trying something different? Also I think the note or 6+ are worth looking at, I like the bigger screens.

I mentioned the extra battery and charger for my galaxy before, it really is one of the best things Ive got for my phone. Swapping batteries on the go is really helpful.

I know I would be in the Minority but im really excited to see what Microsoft has in store for windows mobile 10. Ive been a Android guy for the last 7 years and I think im ready to try something new.... I don't like iphones though.

My wife has the previous version of the MotoX - and it is great for certain things - the in-car stuff is just great on it - it knows when you drive and goes to reading you/answering texts/calls automatically - which is really nice. I also like that it is mostly stock Android, non of the crap that comes on the Samsung/HTC phones.

She replaced an iPhone 4S with it - like everything else, it has pros and cons, but if you need communication a lot while driving, which I suspect is the case for a Realtor - the in-car stuff is great.

If I was driving a lot and having to deal with phone communications, I would get the MotoX for this reason.

That's something I do a lot. But I don't use bluetooth, hate the whole earphone thing. I answer the call and put it on speaker. Are you saying it would read aloud my texts to me as I drive?

That is what my wife's phone does.

Read about it:

"Driving

Get a text message when you’re driving? No worry because your Moto X will read your incoming text messages to you and give you the opportunity to respond via voice. If a call comes in, you will hear who is calling you so you don’t have to look down, and a simple voice prompt will tell your Moto X to answer or ignore the call. If you like to listen to music through your Bluetooth stereo, you can set it to play automatically. The best part of the Driving mode is that you don’t have to manually turn it on when you get in the car. Your Moto X will sense when you’re driving and automatically turn on the features."
