Who dual wields phones?

I have found myself using two phones on tmobile every day, the reason for this my sony xperia tl doesn't last as long as I want it too and my droid 3 qwerty keyboard is a frigging boss. At first the idea of two phones felt clunky till I left the droid at home and I freaked at work as my tl ticked down the percentage. Anxious as I waited for it to charge and was like never again. Sure the tl is spiffy with all its bells and whistles the droid tho that qwerty keyboard is boss nuff said.

So who else dual wields smartphones, why, and who are your daily drivers? Triple wielding is acceptable since I did that for a day or two lol
 
Maybe dual wielding SIMs, but never phones unless one was coming with me after being bought or to be sold.

Are you able to charge at work? That could eliminate the need for the 2nd phone.
 
I can and I do charge at work I use the droid three while the Sony xperia tl charges. I like carrying more than one phone its convenient and I can play around with different form factors
 
I know of some people carrying lumina 1020 and like s4s. Or I phones and xperia z1. Some like me dual daily driver that are android
 
I dual wielded for a while, my current Moto G is my daily driver as my LG G2 (before I bricked it) was my wifi/gaming/rom flashing device.
 
Work gave me the choice of taking over my phone plan or providing me a work phone.

I opted to have them provide me a work phone so I don't have to give out my personal mobile#.

Since I carry the Nexus 5, I consider myself to carry the pinnacle of current Android phones (stock, no bloatware, etc.) So, I opted to get the Nokia Lumia 1020 so I could learn about Windows Mobile.

Windows mobile lost all newness after about one day and is just simply a stripped down experience. Like apple, you don't interact with the OS. You interact with apps. By contrast, Android you interact with both the OS and apps. (Windows Mobile also suffers from a HORRID app store.)

I also get to compare speeds and networks for AT&T and t-mobile in the San Francisco Bay Area. And so far: t-mobile is 100% equally reliable and the speeds average just a hair slower than AT&T (and occasionally much much faster).
 
My personal phone is a Galaxy S3. My work phone is an iPhone 5S, just upgraded from a BB Tour last week.

I do but only because I have an iPhone 4s for work and a Note 3 for personal use. No way I'd ever want to keep up with two personal phones. Fortunately with the Note 3, I can do everything I might possibly want to do on a phone with that and the battery is more than sufficient although if I do anything battery intensive, I can easily plug it in for a quick energy top off.
 
I dual wield at work, but that's only because I have to. I have my personal phone, and my work phone, so I have to carry them both around when I'm on break if I want to be able to use a decent phone. In the fab (Intel cleanroom), I can't have my personal phone, so it's just me and my Motorola Admiral, lol! At least it has a touchscreen!
