#42Only use iPhone beacuse iMessage
iMessage isn't the only reason I stick with iPhone, but it's a big one. It would be nice to see them open it up, though I doubt it will ever happen.

Re: Poll: What smartphone do you use?
#44Motorola and LG are huge omissions for this crowd, which is probably why "other" is the second-most-voted at time of writing. OnePlus and Xiaomi might also have larger-than-typical (in the West, at least) showings here, too.

#46Other - no smart phone. Often no phone at all. I own a flip phone with a usable tactile keyboard (for texting), but I try to leave it at home as often as possible and I discourage people from contacting me too much on it. There are a lot of good arguments in favor of all the wonderful things smartphones do for people. I'm not going to argue against any of them. But I'm also old enough to remember how people used to s…
I own a smartphone and almost never receive phone calls, my friends know to text or email me. I also never reply to texts immediately, unless it is urgent. I had information overload for many years and in the last year it's been delightful to escape this stuff. I achieved it mostly by adjusting behaviour and communicating to friends my preferences, not by abandoning tech. I still carry my phone with me everywhere. It…
A little of both. I know that I'm easily distracted and I would readily fall into the trap of letting my smartphone fill all of my idle time. I battle that in other places, but the battle itself is a nuisance, so I've started to avoid temptation altogether.
But I also know some people who will contact me frequently even if I ask not to be. "I don't carry a phone" and "I didn't have my phone on me" has turned out to be a good way to get that to stop, and it's nice not to lie to people I care about (even though I'd rather not talk to them several times a day).

#47I develop for Android and have nexus devices, but my carry device is a Lumia 521 I got for $69 USD. Small & light enough to run with, smart enough to have a decent web browser / email experience - but simple and "just works". T-Mobile wifi calling is great too.
I'm bummed the successor (Lumia 530) is fatter though. I'll keep my 521 until it no longer works.
At $69, this is a pretty amazing device with Here Maps & Here Drive offline mapping and navigation.

#49Moto X
Currently carrying both a Nexus 4 and a MotoX (the small one from 2013). The No Touch features of Moto X are unique to this date I believe.
