You can surf the internet, access NFB newsline, get local weather forecasts, listen to your favorite radio stations etc. To settle for something less capable is a mistake because the 21st century's need is for instant communication on all sorts of levels. The android sector of phones are severely limited in terms of offering accessible software from the phones' manufacturer as well as other sources of possible downloads in the google play store. Also, because of the configuration of the Android phones there appears to be much more of a possibility of viruses being able to get in to your phone.
