That was rude. I am telling the truth (been here since 2001, only three years less than you). Use whatever phone you like, no skin off my back!
I own an iPad because my Mom bought me one for my 50th birthday. I enjoy it, and prefer it to the Samsung tablets for sure. But the Note 2 makes the iPhone look like a joke to me. To. Me. That is a personal opinion, okay?
Here's my opinion, it is different. It is a true communication device that neatly integrates all your personal communication needs with the cloud. It is also a very capable small computer with a smooth functioning interface and plenty of power to run any of the programs you throw at it. For me it blows the iPhone 4-5 away. Android is a close second, but it is too featured and overly complicated for its purpose. My biggest complaint would be how far WP8 is in application availability. However I have been able to find all of the application I need even if not all of the ones I want.
