After two or three years of using a tiny 2 1/2″ downgraded feature phone, I finally was able to upgrade to a 6″ smartphone. I researched and seriously thought of getting a Microsoft Windows Phone, but Microsoft stopped making the Nokia Lumia 1520 (the one I really wanted), so I ended up staying with Android.
I saved my money over several months for a down payment so the monthly payments wouldn’t be so high with the monthly data plan. Called a “Phablet”-a cross between a phone and a tablet, any task is a breeze (according to the marketing). There is a pen, reminiscent of my old TC1100’s pen. Ah, the memories.
What I love about the Note Edge, is calling with wifi or data. I can use my loopset with my hearing aids, being a better phone, the connection is stronger. I’m hoping I can hear with the new device. Next on the upgrade list: better hearing aids.
