Have you changed your smartphone for a good tablet + a simple mobile phone?

Question

Mobile devices

Let's imagine you have a smartphone (andoird/iOs/..).
Have you changed this smartphone for a tablet + a simple mobile phone with a good battery?

Answer 1

And on the contrary, I'm too lazy to carry even a 7 "tablet with me. A smartphone is more convenient.

Answer 2

No way - it's not convenient to work with contacts on the phone, and they need to be constantly synchronized with the tablet.
It is not convenient to write SMS.
Plus, you need a second SIM card in the tablet, which is an additional monthly expense.
If you call a little, then you can only take a tablet with 3G and a wireless headset. Without a phone.

Answer 3

I'm going to change the iPhone 4 to an option - Apple iPad mini (I'll wait for a new one, with a higher screen resolution) + some kind of simple dialer.

Answer 4

So I did, I go with Nexus 7 + dialer from Nokia.
The only negative is that it is inconvenient to write sms after the smart keyboard.

Answer 5

Went like this for a long time. As a phone, it was the simplest thing I found: Samsung e1200 . Everything would be fine, but SMS is a living hell. You can write them the old fashioned way, even if you don’t look under the table (oh, school, where are you?), but read them ... Constantly their number overflows, you have to erase something. It comes in half a sms, because it didn’t fit anymore ... Well, and secondly: no synchronization - I had to fiddle a lot with contacts so that they were relevant and convenient.
Then, the most reasonable thing is to take a tablet with an sSim card and a headset-phone.

Answer 6

I would gladly change my smartphone on android to a clamshell + iPad with 3G :)

Answer 7

The biggest problem in simple dialers (the same Nokia for 800r) is the hassle with contacts. now there are more than 300 contacts in my smartphone, it will be hell to transfer (fill manually) them into this nokia. when a new contact appears, it will be necessary to enter it in two places, in Nokia itself and in gmail (iCloud, who cares). And what to do, for example, if you lose your phone? 800 r is not a pity, we will buy a new one. what about contacts???
in fact, it would be great to have a simple dialer with the ability to synchronize contacts via a cord or something else (once a month you can schedule backup / sync), but there is none (or I didn’t search well)

Answer 8

Due to problems with synchronizing contacts with Gmail, I can’t abandon my smartphone in favor of a dialer, so now I use a bunch of a 7-inch tablet with 3G and an old smart phone with Android 2.3 with the Internet disabled.
For synchronization and updates, I taught the phone to automatically turn on wifi for 15 minutes every day at 5 am. In this mode, the battery lasts for a week of calls and SMS.

Answer 9

No, of course, dragging around with a tablet, well, him.

Answer 10

all my friends complain that after about half a year the mini / micro usb ports are loosened.
So my next phone will be the second lumia with wireless charging and a card of one of the 3g opsos in Ukraine - the main scenario is to wallow at home and at work on the table, player / toys / social networks in transport, sometimes play.
and soon I want to take myself a tablet with a docking keyboard (and a battery) with an OS from redmond - I’m already used to its conveniences on a laptop at home and at work, but I’m waiting for options with a 3g module too.

Answer 11

I work as a support manager. Calls are mostly mobile. The smartphone was not enough even for a day. As a result, I bought a Fly E190 Wi-Fi. Enough for a work week. There was also a tablet, but a small child dropped it several times and he “died”.

Answer 12

Basically, I would change it. I took an iPad 4 + Nokia 6700. But in general, I think that an e-book (kindle paperwhite) and a smartphone are better (here it’s already trampled - iPhone 5/5c/5s/nexus 4/5)

Answer 13

No, I took a large (5 ") smart, and I'm too lazy to carry a tablet.

Answer 14

It is inconvenient for my hands to use the device more than 5.3'' in motion in a dense flow of people (the standard scenario for using the device in the subway). And not in motion, handheld devices are not needed, because you can use a large device with a normal screen and keyboard.

Answer 15

I would take either an ipad + a stylish metal nokia
or an ipad + a stylish motorola clamshell(motokrzr)

Answer 16

Talk a lot - take the call.
You don’t talk much or you’re not too lazy to constantly carry a battery / look for an outlet - take a smartphone.
If you want to carry a tablet with you a lot, take 7 inches.
If you want to use a tablet at home, take 10.
For me, option 2 + 4 is optimal.

Answer 17

here still the Internet should be considered. If a tablet + a simple dialer, then you need two SIM cards or sit on a tablet without an Internet.

Answer 18

And I had it like that initially, a phone with a battery for a month + galaxy tab 7.7
I bought a Chinese smartphone with a large battery, but it never took root - I gave it away.
I noticed that there is still no special breakthrough in tablet building compared to 7.7 (not taking into account prices).

Answer 19

I am considering this option: Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray + Nexus 7
Sonya has such a wife. The battery is enough for 2 days. Lightweight and small. The screen is 3.3". Read a quick letter and sms, talk on the phone, viber or hangouts, and the camera is very decent. The price, again, is quite acceptable now. Add this year's Nexus 7. It turns out that the budget is less than the average price of a smartphone.
Shovels I don't like it, but I can hardly do without a smartphone.

Answer 20

I have a tablet, but I don't use it much. But I have a Nokia E72 smartphone. Reliable, with a normal battery, with a comfortable QWERTY keyboard. The other day, it was supplemented with a silicone box and became a mega-vintage-cool gadget with excellent functionality: the Internet, an office, notes, a calendar with reminders, three mails and other joys. When falling, it does not beat, does not bend.

Answer 21

I changed Galaxy to Nokia 1280. I don’t carry a tablet.

Answer 22

That's what I want to do. Take a 7-8 inch tablet and a simple phone. I miss them.

Answer 23

After purchasing the tablet, I realized that a smartphone is the most personal PC. But the tablet is once again too lazy to take with you.

Answer 24

I looked like a year and a half with Note II, I realized that such a phone was not suitable for me. Switched to Galaxy S4 mini + Nexus 7 (2013). Phone - call and distribute wi-fi to the tablet; everything else through the tablet. Contacts are synchronized automatically through a Google account, I write sms from a tablet through the mySMS program. I read, watch movies, play, surf - all from a tablet.

Answer 25

Come on, carry a hundred gadgets in your pocket - finally strained. It’s easier on the contrary, to change the phone and tablet to a good tablet with a phone function. I recently did just that, I bought an ASUS FE375CXG, finally a credit. Both a tablet and a smart phone for 2 SIM cards, everything is convenient, synchronization with both Google and other services. Much nicer to have everything in one.
