Regional Pilots and their phones
 

Hello everyone, I am doing a bit of a market study on what kind of phones regional pilots have. I will be doing the same poll for Mainline pilots. As some of you may know, I make apps currently available for iPhone users. Check them out at Starving Pilot Company - iPhone Apps for Pilots. I wanted to see which percentage of pilots have iphones, droids etc... I appreciate the help in the advance.

Probably easier if you create a poll. I have an android sIII.

2004 Samsung V1660.

Seriously.

Can't afford a smart phone.

There's a poll right above my original post.

Do you mind voting and choosing the option "Not so smart phone" so it can count towards the numbers, same with you flyinggreasemnky, thanks!

Psh Mark you know what phone I have :-P

HTC currently, but there's a decent chance I'm going back to the iPhone here PDQ. And that's simply because there are apps I want that I can only get via the Apple Store, *COUGH* starvingpilotcompanyandcoradineaviation *COUGH*

I guess you can't see polls via the apc phone app.

Yeah, you're exempt from the vote then. :D

converting pilots to buy Apple, one phone at a time!

Just picked up the Droid Razzor Max HD...I've gone anywhere from 30-50 hrs on one charge depending on how it's used. Love it!

S3...........

HTC Merge (yeah, youve never heard of it but I love it)

iPhone 4 for the past year, but not for much longer. Hate it. It'll be the Samsung Galaxy or the new Blackberry 10 for me. We'll see what happens at the end of the month.

The pocket ACARS app looks cool, can you make one where you can use it for the CRJ700/900?

This. Would be cool if the user could change the weight limit parameters to match the aircraft in use so CR7/9, EMB, Dash pilots, etc could use it. PocketACARS would appeal to a broader audience if we could do that.

Plane Radio is awesome btw!

I like my fisher price iPhone 5, my mobile logbook

iPhone 5..

"Androids do what iPhones don't"

Break? Contract viruses? :D

I had an android. Every time I landed in a new city and turned it on, it would run every app in the background while it downloaded updates. This could take up to 15 minutes. Needless to say my battery died quite quickly. I now have my first iphone (iphone 5). The performance differences are night and day. IMHO, the iphone is a much superior product. I had an HTC Evo fwiw.

Samsung Droid Charge. May be swapping to the iPhone 5 soon simply because I use an iPad for the flightkit and my family all has iPhones, so synchronization would be nice. Still prefer Android over too-proprietary-Apple though.

iPhone 5, haven't really seen a reason to change.

Samsung galaxy sIII here

I was thinking it was going to be closer to 50/50 between the two phones. It looks like the iPhone is still dominating the market... Thank you all for the replies.

Exactly. I had the droid x, it was fast the first day then it went down hill. I hated android after that. Still a beta OS IMHO.

Evo's are garbage. Really any HTC product is garbage. I have the RAZR Maxx HD and it will last two whole days on one charge with heavy usage. Your whole update problem could have been solved in 10 seconds. Enjoy the tiny screen ;).

I hate having to use the app killer every 5 seconds, and then watch it actually kill apps that launch on their own seconds later. The 4" screen is perfect btw on the iphone 5, enjoy the massive uncomfortable bulge in your pocket (and im not talking about that bulge), the iphone disappears in a pocket yet has a screen good enough to do anything on without being cramped. The metal and glass phone has a nice feel to it too, unlike a big chunk of plastic that is practically every droid (especially every Samsung phone ever made). Im not a fan boy by any means, but the 5 has finally nailed it.

HTC Evo 4G LTE

That's why I've always owned Motorola products. Sturdy build quality. The whole app killer thing is a waste of time. The updates can usually be fixed in the store when you download them. Just don't allow them to auto update and you choose which updates to run and when. I can't argue that a majority of droid phones are junk, but the higher end devices are really nice. I'm just not an Apple guy, nothing against them at all. I like the compatibility of android with windows and I like the removable memory. I am running a small business on the side and my RAZR maxx HD is like a mini lap top. I don't keep it in my pocket, it is way too big for that. I wear it on the hip and take the hit on my appearance. Android 4.1 is very nice as well. One thing I don't understand are these new "phablets" I mean these things are huuuuuge. I love watching people walking around with tablets to their ears.
