I've been fairly loyal to Android since entering the smartphone world, tending to run popular custom mods. But I feel I'm getting a bit to locked into one ecosystem + Google seem to be less willing to work towards open standards with thier services which may become a problem in the future. I carry 2 phones so going forward I am looking to use an Android + alternate OS. IPhone is unlikely but not completely ruled out. The bigger screen does help their cause. While I used to have one and liked it I found it a bit plain and overpriced. Going forward I am leaning towards a new OS like Ubuntu/Firefox/Sailfish if I recycle an old Android. And if getting a new 'second' phone it will likely be Windows at the moment as there are some great mid-range phones being released. Why this thinking; Geek factor, interesting to trying new things, I like giving an underdog a shot, I want to keep my services diversified and I like to feel I'm getting value for money. Naturally it has to work well.
