I appreciate the discourse.

For me the things I want are usually twofold: things that help me help others, or things that help me learn so that I can more effectively help others.

As an example, I'm an Android user, always have been since Windows Mobile crashed and burned. So to better help friends, family, and the customers at work, I bought an iPhone. Installed a data-only SIM card, and carried it around, connected to my work accounts for a bit more than a year. Anything work related, I would try to use the iPhone for.

Of course, for practicality, I also had my work accounts on my android, so if I couldn't do something with the iPhone, I could fall back to it.

I've since retired the iPhone, it was an iPhone 6S, but the experience was very helpful in expanding my understanding of what others see when I'm working on their issue blind (no remote control).

Anyways. That theme has been a constant for me. Not just with mobile phones.
