   Is there any decent guide for what sail foam to buy? I sort of want an iphone but I do a ton of stuff I should really use a PC for on my phone and am familiar with android. I just want a buying guide that isn't marketing hype.

     @SuperSnekFriend I forgot to say thank you for this post friend! I am still overwhelmed by choices, honestly. Every time I think I have it down I see another phone that's got a feature I really like. Last time I just went with the one the most ram and the fastest snapdragon 8xx, but I do so much with my phone now and I think I need to be more selective.

     @Noraweed @SuperSnekFriend This is actually a big thing for me. I don't have much apple. I don't dislike them, bit they are not exactly "for me". I like the neat gadget esque features that some of the niche android phones get first, like when I got a the crazy PD ultra mega rapid charger on this one

     @BowsacNoodle @SuperSnekFriend Also, if you're still considering an iphone, think about how much you plan to immerse yourself in the apple ecosystem. The experience is severly degraded if you aren't completely bought in. But the integration bewteen different devices within the ecosystem is beyond what you'll find anywhere else.
     
     Honestly though, if samsung hadn't been being such ass lately I would suggest a Note just for the big screen and pen. Really nice to have a precision tool for taking notes or abusing your phablet of a phone to do things you really should on a computer.
