Use of reliable Android for trading

I noticed that having a position requires a check on how it's doing in the market once and a while (I tend to check every half hour, or hour). I never liked the use of a cellphone or droid but when I ran out of luck because I was stopped out when I was at work and unable t check or step out of the trade I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a smart phone of some kind.

I have worked for 2 major android manufacturers and my current job is tech support with a third upcoming company in the world.

I have decided I will buy a device that is reliable enough and I'm wondering about the Samsung Galaxy. But I'm wondering what you guys think and or use.
Do you have a Windows or Android phone and what works best for you?

first of all I never leave any positions open when I leave my trading desk, thus cannot comment about the possible apps for trading.

I dont recommend any Samsung product as they are always less efficient concerning energy, speed and reliability. I use an iPhone 4 and Im happy with it. It is enough fast to read news, emails etc and has a vast variety of apps to download. If you are determined to buy an Android based phone I suggest to exclude Samsung, others like HTC, Sony, Ericson etc are more or less fine.

I am using Samsung Galaxy S2, and I'm using Oanda phone Apps to monitor and trade when I'm at work. While I use Trade Interceptor from Apps Market to view and modify the charts on the phone. My personal opinion, everything is fine, and work very well.

I checked out the Galaxy out yesterday as well and I'm very impressed, seems a lot more sturdier than an HTC.

I have an android myself (LG -P930) WOW!

I love it....I have 7-8 platforms downloaded on it and also I have a program called "remote mt4" , it shows me the EXACT screen that I have on my pc mt4's also through that program I can close positions also if I need too....

I have used both, windows phone and android and android wins hands down. I use Metatrader for android, and it works fine. I also use teamviewer. I have it installed on my home computer and on my Motorola Atrix and I can remote control my computer on my phone any time I want. Great way to see indicators that the android version can't plot.
Honestly, I wouldn't even consider a windows phone. Android is much faster, PERIOD.

Ann questions, feel free to ask.

I have the Samsung Stratosphere and use FXCM's mobile app. Works great, and is easy to use. There's also lots of good financial/broker apps out there. I have the Thinkorswim and Bloomberg apps too for futures, indices, news, etc.

How "good" of Android do you want? Reliability? Support? Software?

Reliability - they are all the same. I still have my Google Nexus One made by HTC, bought in Jan 2010 running reliably.

Support - all the same to me. You probably worked in the tech support of at least 1 of these.

Software - Core OS is the same. I prefer HTC interface better. Then again, core OS is the 1 that matters.

My experience has been good with Samsung and HTC.

Past and current models:

Google Nexus One, HTC Desire, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Note.

MT4 software - MT4 has an official app for Android now. Just have to specify the broker name and maybe server name, then you are in business. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...F0cmFkZXI0Il0.

MT4 on my Galaxy Note and Lenovo K1 tablet are both set to logon to FXCM UK and Alapari UK.

My HTC Desire is set to logon to only Alapari since that is a lower end phone, which I do not want to slow it further by changing accounts all the time.
