On a deactivated Bionic I was not able to make a voice call on Google Voice. It seemed to need to validate that there was an active number assigned to my Bionic.

I've been a loyal Moto user for a while. I do for my upgrade and my Bionic has gotten very flaky so I'm anxious to pull the trigger. My two design requirements are removable battery and removable storage. Moto seems to have left me behind on both of these. Right now it looks like I am going to wait for the Note 3 as soon as Costco gets them in.

Correct, a SIP service as well. I thought I had linked the thread in my last post.

Awesome, thanks
It is a nano SIM (even smaller) and is special in that it fully enables NFC to support ISIS. There was a problem when the Droid Maxx first came out that some Verizon stores were trying to swap in an iPhone nano SIM and it was not compatible.

To be technical, the phone supports NFC without the SIM. If you put in an AT&T or T-Mobile (or compatible foreign GSM SIM), the phone will work, as will NFC.
What the SIM enables is the NFC for the ISIS wallet thing. Without the SIM, ISIS will not work.
See NFC SE SIM Card FAQs | Verizon Wireless
Thanks ... I added the more complete clarification.
I got the Maxx on release day and they were having problems with the nano SIM. The only nano SIM they had other than the one that came in the Maxx was for the iPhone. These were not compatible with the Maxx.

At this point, probably an iPhone. While I went into the Android realm with great hopes and expectations, and with much research, my actual experience has been disappointing. The phone/OS is clunky, prone to slowness, has an OK UI and just seems to frustrate as much as please. Then, when I use my wife's iPhone, or even my old iPod, I'm like, Wow!, this just works to well and smoothly and delights rather than aggravates.
While I am no iPhone fan boy, I do have to be frank and honest with my own experience. I'll look into some other Droid and Android phones in case things have improved greatly in the Android realm, but am definitely leaning iPhone at this point.

I love Android and have many reasons for continuing to own them, but there is no doubt that iPhones are great devices and iOS is a great OS. Any Android fans who say otherwise are just being tools.
Enjoy it, and if you do stay Android, look up whichever phone you buy in our forums. There are plenty of us around to help!
My experience from helping other people with their phones has been, if an iPhone was your first smartphone ever then switching over to Android will seem difficult. Very few people I have helped switch from iPhone to Android have been happy afterwards. Most all long to go back and eventually do. The reverse holds true for those that started on Android and try to switch to iPhone as well. It seems to me that your first smartphone experience spoils you to that platform.
BB people still think the "next" BB will be THE ONE; and I haven't run across either of the people that use windows phones yet.
