Are you personally using two or three phone platforms with such frequency that this is relevant?

- freehunter 12y agoI bought a Lumia 920 when it came out in October 2012. I used that as a daily driver until around March of 2013, when I bought a Nexus 4. I wasn't terribly satisfied with it when it came to the camera and GPS navigation, so when I went on trips or to events I would switch the SIM back to the Lumia 920. I got tired of this and bought an iPhone 5c in December 2013. My wife broke her iPhone 4 in June of 2014, so I gave her my 5c and switched back to the Lumia 920 until my work gave me an iPhone 5s in October of 2014. Luckily I'm using a carrier that doesn't care how often you want to switch your phone, doesn't lock their phones, and doesn't make you talk to them to activate a new phone. I think everyone should have that freedom. So in the last ~2 years, I've used three phone platforms with some regularity. I also have a Windows desktop and I use a RHEL-based laptop for work. I like to use the best that I can get for the task I'm using it for, no matter what platform or ecosystem. Because of that, I make it a habit to not put things in my workflow that are not reasonably cross-platform, unless there is literally no better option.
