[Electronics-Talk] Android Cellphones: Are They Worth It

[Matthew Chao]

I want a genuinely different but very accessible phone.  I have two 
iPhones on my family account, and need a different phone for myself, as 
my older Nokia phones won't be usable on AT&T's network as of May 13.  I 
just want to make sure that the S7 is as accessible as the iPhone.  If 
not, then that issue's a deal breaker. Thanks.--Matthew Chao
