Basically, all devices are the same. They have different operating systems, but they all make calls; take, edit, and share pictures; can add word processing spreadsheets; text message (send and receive) shop; listen to music; and engage in other productive activities.
Android allows the addition of memory via SD cards. USB ports allow the incorporation of any device that has a USB connector. The Samsung Note 2 allows the ability to input handwritten notes using a finger or stylus. It comes with an impact resistant case.
Android phones synch well with Google, and thus Google Calendar. iphones and other iDevices can coordinate through Exchange. Both systems allow the setting of reminders.
Apple is a closed system: you do it their way or not at all. Android has too many options.
Bookbud is a free subscription service that sends a daily email of bargain-priced books. If you're a reader, check it out.
Use the security features built into your phone. Just do it.
Never EVER do banking from an unsecured hotspot. Don't engage in any other activity that reveals personal or confidential information. Just don't do it.
The LastPass password manager app will create and store secure passwords. For a $12 upgrade, you can integrate all your devices. Then all you have to remember is your password to LastPass.
When you go shopping, be aware that a smartphone comes with a dataplan. You may be able to select among plans and networks when you are shopping, but once you've made your purchase, you have made a commitment. Another shopping tip: many sales people operate on a commission. If you are feeling pressured, go somewhere else.
