Packing 2 phones?

I didn't search this subject...

How many fine members of this community carry 2 phones around with them.

I ask because I got kidded the other night when a friend noticed me having my 635 in the right pocket and my 925 in the left.
Realizing this could be some sort of device addiction I tried to evade by offering a vague answer with a touch of evasiveness.

Anyhoo if you do this what's your combo?

Get those looks/comments all the time.
I carry a white 1520 and a white 1320...and an ASUS Vivotab Note 8 or an HP Elitepad 900 depending on the mood. :)

Edit: Just to clarify. I teach 5th grade science, so all the electronics I carry around are part of my classroom act. :) I am still addicted to devices though.

Mmmm...

Looks like I may need to bump up to 2 more phones and a tablet then...

Maybe someone could whip up and market something like a fishing vest for electronic devices.

Well there we have it!
Now if there was a way to involve coffee we would be set :smile:

A year ago I had no intention of being totally connected...then a smartphone appeared for under 120 USD.
Now I look at me and shake my head ... soon others will be assimilated.

Windows side: Asus T100, Lumia 925 (will upgrade to 930)
Android side: Z Ultra (full Google usage), Nexus 5 (less google services installed)

How do you like your Z Ultra? I love mine. Was worried about what some reviews said...that it was just too big to use as a phone. I've gotten used to it rather quickly.

I love it. I have the Purple model, hence the "Princely Purple" signature when using the Android WPC app in honor of the artiste Prince (who also likes purple). I don't use it as a daily driver because I take public transit a lot. But I got my SBH-52 and SWR 10 synced to it and it is nice. Plus I get the updates quickly from Sony so far, which has been tremendous (mine is the octaband LTE model - Asian Variant). I pulled it out for a road trip during my birthday and it was great to listen to music and read and watch movies on that gorgeous screen...

I almost went for the purple, but the variant I needed to work on AT&T was only available in black or white at the time. I'm very satisfied with the white color though, but the purple is really pretty awesome looking too. I agree...the screen is pretty amazing! Right now, my 1520 is my daily, but I pull the Z out every once in a while just to switch things up a bit.

I'm close to that; a Nexus 5 and a Lumia 920. I actually don't carry the 920 all the time, usually only if something has just been released or updated and I want to play with it! I also have a 520 and a Moto G, so every once in a while I'll throw one of those in my pocket for the 2nd device for the day.

I use an iPhone 5s on tmobile as my daily driver... I use my Lumia 920 to play pandora at home. It is unlocked, because they use different SIM card size I strictly use my iPhone now.

I also own a Surface Pro 3 that pretty much goes everywhere with me

Sadly my 925 is regulated more these days to weekends and picture taking events. The N5 is now the workhorse. I do have them both today because I find that the Japanese input keyboard is a bit better on the 925 and I had a simple Japanese speech I needed to write...

Looking forward to the 930 to start using both phones more equally.

Lumia 925 (daily driver) and Nexus 7 are two devices I carry around all the time with me.

On the phone side, I always have these two charged up and ready to go just in case something were to happen to my Lumia 925 - Lumia 810 (my backup device) and my ATIV S (set up to mirror my 925).

I am saving some dough to grab a N6 and/or Moto X+1 when it comes out - I cycled through Moto X (three of them), N5 (four of them), OnePlus One(two of these), Z Ultra, LG G2 during the last two months. I did get a Moto G in a trade in the Marketplace which I need to go to the post office to pick up but it will be sold within a day or two.

I fully intend to let my work pay for the iPhone 6 when it comes out, I plan to keep my record of never having spent 1c in the Apple ecosystem intact!

I have the 1520 and Xiaomi Mi 3. I had the Nexus 7 before but sold it for Mi 3 since I really needed a SMS-capable phone atm l and the former also has a close similarity in screen size with the Lumia 1520.
