I’m in the market for a new cell phone in a few days. I was leaning Samsung Galaxy S II, but then I hear so much about Windows phones. HOWEVER, the dealbreaker for me on windows phones is that they are apparantly incapable of wifi calling (UMA) and I need that. My house is in a cell dead spot. So I think, issues aside, it will be Android and Samsung for me.

Laz - this post comes to you from a Galaxy S II on the AT&T network. Long time happy user. My daughter also picked it over the iPhone in part because she’s an independent type but she also loves it.

If you are an AT&T customer i recommend you check out their microcell. It’s a CISCO device that connects to you home internet an provides you with your own personal cell tower. You configure it for only the numbers you authorize so your neighbors can’t use it :-)

We put one in our cabin in NC where amazingly we get fast DSL from Frontier but no cell service. It works great.

We were Blackberry users and wanted a switch. We liked the Nokia Lumia (Windows) but you had to buy thru AT&T or Verizon. Unfortunately, neither has an unlimited data plan.

So we ended up going with the Galaxy and TMobile. The unlimited data (and Internet tethering) was a must.
