Nothing to see here, move along...move along.
This is just another 8.1 phone, 1.2 processor 1gb of ram and 8gb of storage expandable to 64 :-D
Reminiscent of HP days when they came out with 512mb machines for 299.00 with Vista 64x, when the World was going to 4gb.
...it sure does bring back some memories...
...anyway, MS btw, we're at 2.66, 4gb and 32gb standard, just so you know right, just so you know...
Their head is in the Cloud more these days ;-)
Wait until next year when they come out with 10.0 in the spring.
Motorola Droid Turbo is one of those phones that would make you jump ships to Android for sure...
Just sayin'...but that would be unfair considering that Motorola is definitely Master of Phones w/out a doubt, while Apple becomes masters of Processors ;-)
The Apple processor outperforms the Snapdragon Quad Core 2.66GHz, but apple doesn't have a 4k Ultra HD display ;-)
Microsoft is in Branding mode right now with their phone more than they are with the technology of things, plus they have to keep costs down now that they are building their own.
The thing of it is it's not as easy as just getting a phone, you'll have to change carriers in some instances and that requires a 2 year contract usually.
That's what they call a rock and a hard place if you are a Microsoft user :-( you'll be compromising service providers just to get a higher quality phone.
We're in it for the long haul, so if we have to, we'll go phoneless :-D we would, because we have used AT&T for YEARS...as well as MS, so if it works, don't change what ain't broke!
In phones, MS is in last place, so ANYTHING is better than they are on the Hardware side of things, as for OS, well we've been fine with 7.8 windows 8.1 like phone :-D
We're going on three years with only a 99 dollar investment, not bad...and that's a fact!
The Surface Pro (8.1) is an excellent solution for you if you are looking for a tablet and a notebook. One of the best actually.
Still not an Android fan, but definitely a Google Chrome fan, so that would be the alternative if you are looking for something strange and unusual ;-)
For familiarity get the Amazon Fire HD (Android) without a second thought for your tablet only solutions. By far and without any doubt and excellent value and by far again the best value...and that's another fact!
**UPDATE**
"The difficulty with Android is that the stock Google experience is not what most Android users use. Most use some sort of UI skin, be it Samsung's TouchWiz, HTC's Sense or Xioami's MiUI."

Be careful with Portables folks, 300 here 200 here adds up and before you know it, you have a box of junk.
It's all valuable and remember their is information on those junkyard devices, so make sure you purge them before you throw them.
There is value in some of those old devices, but if you aren't a Hoarder we would recommend against it ;-)
We're still a Macintosh Fan and an iPhone fan, but as for iOS we think it needs to be refreshed. Tiles are just so much sexier than icons, but it doesn't mean that tiles are the end all be all of interface solutions...and that's our last fact!
