Apple iphone 5s! Blockchain and Coin Tracker, both excellent apps!!
I have the following devices:
- Android - Nexus 4, Personal Cell Phone
- Android - Nexus 7, Personal Tablet
- iOS - Apple iPhone 5, work phone.
I only have a Bitcoin App installed on my Android phone, called simply "Bitcoin", but there seems to not be enough local support around here to merit me using it. I haven't purchased Bitcoin with fiat since it was relatively new (and had to use a Moneygram to avoid using bank transfer!), so I haven't used Local Bitcoin or any such service. Really, it's only been on my phone as a means to quickly check exchange rates to Fiat. I don't even have funds in that wallet.

If the Windows Phone had more support (Teamspeak, Bitcoin, etc), I'd pick it.
I won't, Windows Mobile, predecessor to windows phone, was quite well supported and they pulled the plug completely on it when WP came out. They could do the same again when they make their minds up about RT/W9, could end up with a 6 month old device that's useless... completely different to how long they have supported their desktop OS products.
Bump.
Good responses. Keep it going!

It's a hard discussion to have. I know Apple isn't trusted in my book as they seem to be giving up data more leniently than Google.
Google recently had a dispute with the US Govt. about what type of data they publish and share with the people/govt.
I don't know the details, but they seemed to be annoyed that the Govt would push them for such data,
however, they lost the case in court, and was ordered to proceed with the demands of the GOVT.
I'd trust Google > Apple. However, its tough to say if they were held up with 'no-choices' but to reveal user data.

"Google is fighting back against National Security Letters, the secretive, controversial requests for data from the US government that bypass the court process and come with a gag order. The company has filed papers in a case called In Re Google Inc. Petition to set aside Legal Process; while the documents are sealed, Bloomberg reported on the nature of the filing. No details are currently available on the request itself, but the move is significant — Google would be the most prominent company yet to challenge an NSL."

>implying i trust google or apple
Is there another choice? I want a "smart phone", but just can't get around to trusting either Google or Apple. It sounds like they track everything you do. Was considering a Windows Phone, but it seems to have a lack of support. And I'm not sure I trust Microsoft all that well. Probably more so than Google/Apple though.
