Android, Blackberry, iPhone, or Windows Phone — Which One Do You Get?

This is a short blog post about which smartphone type do you get. First, a small disclaimer. I have never used a Windows Phone and so I have no opinion about it and most of my list of pros and cons is based only on people who have used it. I have used Windows 8, which is the basis for Windows Phone and Windows tablets. I will do this alphabetically.

Must of my programs for cloning/imaging drives don’t play well with bad sectors and the one I had that did work around that was painfully slow. So what to do.

Without boring you with all the time I invested, here is how I eventually copied the hard drive.
