Hello all,
Quick back story:
Back in January 2013 I purchased a Lumia 521 with Brightspot mobile (who turned into T-Mobile). Loved the phone, used it quite a bit, only thing I didn't like was that it didn't have flash on it. So fast-forward a year and I purchased a Blu Neo 4.5 cause it was inexpensive and I could seemlessly switch between phones (Android and Windows). 6 months after that I purchased a Blu Studio C 5.0 HD for the screen, storage, and cpu. It was a great phone, but Blu decided to release new phones instead of updating their current market with newer versions of android, I dislike the fragmentation as it stands. Even the newest phone I thought about getting at the time (Blu Selfie) didn't get anything past 4.4 Kitkat.
Skip ahead to the start of the new year. I ordered a Blu Win HD LTE and went back to my Lumia 521. The Lumia 521 has been a champ at still being quick, playing Spotify, having a charge that lasts well over 1 day (Studio was lasting about 12-15 hours, even if I didn't touch my phone all day, really irritated me).
Here's my questions for you guys:
1) What apps do you guys like/enjoy? Right now I'm using Spotify, Baconit, and really... that's all I really use besides the stock email.
2) Android I couldn't play games on as my batter would jump from 12-15 hours to maybe 7-10 hours if I tried to play a game. Heck even simple games played for an hour would drain my battery to where I could only use my phone 3-4 hours a day. What games do you guys, if any, play?
3) Any accessories you enjoy? I'm considering getting something like a Fitbit or Microsoft Band.
4) Any developers? I do develop apps with C# and Xaml so I've already started on a few projects for my phone.
Thanks, and I'm glad to be back,
