Please help me out a little bit. I am not educated on Blackberry but saw that its data security is many leagues ahead of anyone else. So, I am giving it some thought.
I am in the market for a new phone and a new laptop.
I am a user of both Linux and Windows XP SP3. Linux = Mint, Ubuntu, Sabayon, SuSe, AriOS.
What about Debian & Fedora?
My needs are very basic. All I require is a notebook or ultrabook that can do web browsing, emails, basic spreadsheets and word processing. Add to this internet voice and possibly video calls. System security is essential as I am dealing with high profile clients' data as a financial advisor.
I love Android but am going with Windows Phone 8 for security reasons, or I might even stay woth Nokia's Symbian 60 for now.
The ability to sync between and computer via USB cable or Bluetooth is essential as I often operate on premises where there is hardly any mobile signal. Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 seems to have thrown a spanner in the works as far as that is concerned, but someone may have a solution for that.
The solution needs to be valid for the next three years, or longer. I really don't need the latest, fastest system around.
What are the pitfalls with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8? I am also looking at Blackberry only for its superior systems security features. I don't quite like BB or Nokia, but they are the safest to use for businessfolks. Data security and integrity is not negotiable. As much as I like the Galaxy S3, it is not secure enough for my requirements.
What OS and how much RAM will I need? Will Windows 7, for instance, integrate seamlessly with Windows Phone 8? Or should I buy a Nokia Lumia 900 and not the 920, to stay with 7 on both phone and laptop?
Linux and Blackberry..........?
