    The best smartphone is the one that works best for you. Articles like this are only good for putting in the trash. Don't just follow the herd...

    Nice phone Joe!

    I have an iPhone 5s, but just bought a Lollipop-based Nexus 9 tablet. Lollipop is VERY good. More intuitive and fewer swipes than iOS to this set of eyes.

    I do crave the iPhone 6, mainly for the iMessage app. It's pretty cool.

    I bought the Note 2 when it first came out and skipped the 3 because even the 2 is enough for me but this new Note 4 is amazing. Super fast and the OS is wonderful once you get used to the differences.
