Purely random musings ahead.
I really truly want an alternative to a smartphone. But still have to be demanding on a couple features. A qwerty keyboard is likely something I would consider a must have, but would be willing to give something like this a try despite its lack of one. As far as the OS, whatever. I am curious about the app store. i don't use facebook but if people somehow magically got on board... Yeah, not likely. Chiefly I need a high end camera. I use my s8+ for a lot of business related and even product photography. Similar with video. Safe to say this won't meet that standard. As far as apps go, It bugs me that most of the apps I use, outside of a phone, are rendered in a browser. It would be nice if high end cloud services could be better designed to render on a mobile browser over installing an app. As far as my S8+ goes, I don't use over 99% of the features that make it a so called smart phone. To me it is a device for texting, email, navigation, and a high end camera. Those things shy of apps that are otherwise rendered in a browser on a desktop. Safe to say, for those few features I depend on, I am not going to be upgrading for a few years. It is an awful lot of fancy hardware for something that gets such limited use. I still lament the failure of BB10. With the exception of a not so hot camera, the Classic is still the best phone I have ever used.
