    Like Cowboy said you can get Tango for free.
    I got it on the OL iPhone 5S and got it on my Samsung Galaxy S5
    And we can see each other.
    Or setup any account of Skype on your computer.
    And then download the app on yer samsung phone and use it.
    Skype wants to charge you.
    But they have a lot of people using it.

    Used to say the same Dauym thing when I owned 5 iPhones. And I even have a Macbook Pro.
    Was never gonna leave the iPhone. Always got the newest one.

    Well that is over.
    Now I want the newest Galaxy S series phone.
    I will of had it one week friday and I like it.
    OL played with it. And she has the iPhone 5S and she said I wished I had one.
    But we don't have a upgrade and i don't want to pay for one.

    But You keep fighting it man. Somebody need s to. Not me. I know better.

    And didn't want a big screen to tote around.
    Like I said been having a lot of problems with nobody being able to get in touch with me.
    Phone never rang. And when somebody did call. I could hear them and they couldn't hear me.
    Ran from one end of the house to the other.

    Well I got a fever for the Samsung Galaxy S5

    All the phone problems went away.
    And as for the big screen. Wonder why I fought it for so long.
    It was a little big for a few hours. And a little harder to hold onto.
    But then after using it. I could see the screen a whole lot easier.
    And you tubes and videos was much easier.

    Buddy got the Galaxy Note. Its bigger than my S5
    But it has a stylist and you can see things a lot better.

    All I an say is I really like my Samsung Galaxy S5


    And while I was At Best Buy I got a Platinum Case with a Belt clip.
    Slim case, fits tight to the body. you forget you even have it on.

    Rode the bike with it.

    But you go ahead and keep fighting it.
    And keep going threw iTunes to get all your apps.
    Much more freedom with the Samsung Galaxy S5.

    Can't continue going in the wrong direction forever. it leads to a dead end.

    One day you will wake up and see what I fought for 5 yrs and Now I can see there is something else out there that is a great phone.
    And not as restrictive as the Apple iPhone.
    Think I freaked Chucktx out when I left the iPhone and went to the S5
    Trying to find a S5 right now can be touch.
    And the S5 is selling for more than the 5S iPhone.

    The S4 and s5 are good phones...
    The screen is much better than apple,
    other thing is the apps are not so tightly controlled
    like apple, it's why you don't have java and other
    apps on the Apple, they won't let them on...

    Saw a Windows tablet last night when I was
    at the range one of the guys there had his
    much nicer than the iPad, better screen easier
    to work and had a cool keypad.

    Bigger screen too, plus embedded utoob videos
    work, java etc...

    We'll I think the Apple is better. Every Windows based product I have ever had eventually ran slow, had to many problems with viruses. I have yet to have that issue with either my IPhone or IPad.
    We just lost another hard drive on a house windows based computer due to a dang virus and we had virus protection, and a firewall setup on it, still didn't help. I have a laptop at home that is a windows product and now never use it. IPad is so much simpler and easier to use.

    I have to agree with you FLHT. I've been using desktops and laptops for years professionally and personally all brands all windows. I also have been using android phones since they came out. I reserve judgement on the latest androids but in truth I always found that they eventually slow down within a year or two since their programs and constant updates use up so much memory. I Recently got a new laptop the Latest windows 8 SUCKS ! Never again. Macs from now on.

    Our main computer hear the hard drive went bad due to a virus and the guy is installing a new hard drive but he is loading XP on it. I agree no more new windows based computers for me. We lost business info and way to many pics and personal info. Had most of the business stuff backed up but yea know you never get it all backed up.

    There is going to be no support for XP so the chance of getting hacked or getting a virus is only going to get greater. You're much better off going with windows 7 for safety. It's a lot like XP and easier to use than Windows 8..at least for now

    I think Windows is on the down hill slide and no more windows products for me. I lost so much on that desktop computer I just can't trust them any longer.
