Two of my estimators sport droids. One a Galaxy S4 and the other a Nexus 5. I tooled around on their phones for a bit over the past couple of weeks. The Nexus seems to be a smoother operator. He claims the Samsungs are bloated. The Galaxy S4 guy doesn't know how to use his phone. That is his first smartphone and he got it last month.

Nexus is generally going to be clean and pretty well stock Android.

I don't recall seeing a Nexus on VZW before, wish it were smaller. 6" just seems too damn big.

It's his first smartphone and he's a frugal dude.

Does Android have an option/app/widget that mimics the same voicemail system as iPhone or Windows phone? The iPhone voicemail system is great. It's its own system, not a carrier. I can see who left the voicemail, when I received the voicemail, how long it is and I can manipulate it on the fly. It doesn't call into Verizon and go through their shitty system. I really like the ability to see all details about the voicemail and have the ability to manipulate it without listening to it or even putting the phone up to my ear to hear options to do so. That feature has come in clutch multiple times dealing with OAC groups on my projects. I'm curious to know because I'm due for an upgrade (so is :wifey:) and the guy I mentioned previously who runs the Nexus 5 wishes his phone did that. If yall know of an app or widget that does it, I want to let him know. :tiphat:

I have tried them all, I think I like the windows phone the most. It was also 42 bucks from Target which is amazing.
