ScubaX Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi, hope this isn't too redundant, I searched and got some of the info but I'm looking for a concise list of the pro's and con's to switching to a new Android phone vs my current 3GS on a Z130BT I plan to use the 3GS as a iPod touch and may try hot-spotting the Android to get Pandora. What issues am I looking at if I change? What BT calling features would I lose? Does the Z130 get any album art etc from an Android over blue tooth? TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 BT calling and streaming only. You may get album art with BT Pandora but not as a music player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevworthy Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I have never been a big Itunes fan, but everything is geared towards ipod functionality so I have always kept an ipod since I installed my 1st avic d3...I have the z130 now and I have a 32 gig 3rd gen ipod connected in the glovebox. I have a rooted razr maxx with the grandfathered unlimited data plan so I keep my hotspot running all the time. The Ipod connects up with it most of the time without problems and I use the pandora quite a bit but it will not show album info over bluetooth. So to answer your question, without a doubt put the iphone in your glovebox permantly and step up to an android device, you wont be sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScubaX Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks to both of you for your help. The only issue I see is with the data cost of hotspots. I have the unlimited but limited anyway AT&T data plan, but if I use the hotspot ability I will lose the unlimited data plan. Changing to Verizon will also be a limited plan and more expensive with the now screwed up family sharing plans. Adding to the issue is that in my area only Verizon is LTE while AT&T is (we lie about it a lot almost 4G but not really) 3G+. I will probably wait until the iPhone 5 (4GS?) comes out and decide then what I will get. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is on the short list. Adding to this, I just bought a Google Nexus 7 Tablet, which is Wi-Fi only. I may just have to bite the bullet and get a Verizon 4G hotspot - damn, I need a personal shopper and research assistant just to use mobile internet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
