This is my phone:
samsung-T301G-tracfone-hero.jpg
It's quite primitive (can't even run the preloaded Soudoku without freezing up), but it's CHEAP.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

I am thinking of getting the giant version, since my eyes are not as good as they used to be when viewing stuff up close.
Here is a link to a template showing how big the new phones are:

I do have an external battery pack for my phone that is basically a battery that you charge up and can recharge your phone (iphone or android) at least twice with. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

here is what I have noticed comparing the two platforms:
Android phones - They never get updated (or hardly ever) so you are pretty much stuck with the version of Android you have when you bought the phone. Apple upgrades their OS regularly and you always have the latest OS and features.
Android tablets - they do update more often than the phones do, but I have noticed on my tablet that every time I update the OS, the durn thing gets slower and slower. My iPad and iPhone, on the other hand stay the same as far as speed goes, and many times get more efficient, the more I update the OS on them.
Both platforms have similar apps so that is a wash."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

You are right about the charger and memory, but even on the android when you expand the memory, it shows up as an external memory device and most of the time you can't store the apps on the external memory like you can the internal memory. Plus I have a 32GB iphone and have never even come close to using all of the memory up, even though I listen to audiobooks and have at least a dozen stored on my phone at a time, and use the camera extensively.

Additionally for transferring apps to sd card go to your app manager and it will give you the option to transfer to sd.
My biggest problem is that every manufacturer customizes android for their particular device and then doesn't release new updates to the software very often. I had to wait 6 months for Android 4.1 to become available on my ASUS tablet. And Samsung never did release any updates for the galaxytab I had.
Speaking of sd cards phones are starting to support the really beefy sd cards like 128 gb.

Originally posted by robrecht View PostI'm not talking about replacing the battery when the original is old and worn out. I'm talking about the need of powrpower users and business travelers to quickly swap in at charged spare battery. I typically travel with two charged spares, and one might be a 2x battery because I can't afford to get caught without sufficient battery power. With the iPhone you have to carry around an external charger because they do not allow for convenience of spare batteries.
The battery pack I talked about above ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) works pretty good on my iphone.
