My Man
Tablets have a time and a place. I can't always have my laptop out or walk around to type things out, so that's what I have my Nexus 9 for.

I love my phone too, my only complaint (not a big one) is the Camera is weird with a lot of apps, like upside down. It is fine in my Camera app but like my banking app when I want to deposit a check I have to flip the check upside down. Couldn't ask for a better phone though.
I do get tablets have their place, for me my phone does the job otherwise I need a full OS and keyboard. Not to mention I got ultra book as an employee buy back program from my work for $20, just figured with some posting Windows tablets running a full OS a ultra book wouldn't hurt

I have the same issue with my mobile check deposit.
Main phone: Nokia Lumia 925 (with the yellow Nokia wireless charging case, black handset, Windows 10, previously Windows Phone 8.1):
Other phones (I own all of these too):
Nokia Lumia 625 (black handset, Windows 10, previously Windows Phone 8.1):
Nokia Lumia 710 (black handset, Windows Phone 7.8):
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (pebble-blue handset, Android something-or-other):
Tablet: First generation Microsoft Surface Pro (black, Microsoft TypeCover keyboard, Intel Core i5 3317U, 4GB DDR3, 64GB SSD, 1080p display, Windows 8.1 Pro x64):
The funny thing is that this old Surface Pro has the same specs as @DMGrier's ultrabook, yet actually it is way more versatile because it is a tablet and a laptop and also has the pen that you can use for handwriting etc. The Surface Pros are the most versatile computers ever made. Ultrabook specs in a tablet body - win win!

I have tried other apps that require a camera and they are all with the same result. Hopefully with Android N this will get fixed.

Glad to see the Nexus 6P made the list. The 6P is to much phone for my use but I do love my 5x and the frequency of updates.

Sure! It's on March 19th but will be available on YouTube shortly after that.
If you want my phone history, here it is:
September 2009 - April 2010: Vodafone VF527 (present)
April 2010 - May 2011: Samsung C3050 Stratus (bought new)
May 2011 - January 2013: Samsung GT-S5620 Monte (bought new)
January 2013 - August 2014: Nokia Lumia 710 ('hand-me-down' from Dad)
August 2014 - November 2015: Nokia Lumia 625 (bought second-hand very cheaply)
November 2015 - present: Nokia Lumia 925 (swapped with an S5 Mini with a friend)
I picked up the S3 Mini along the way. It was my Dad's phone and then my brother's but he upgraded to an S5 Mini shortly afterwards (and then he got an iPhone 6 Plus to replace that).
My favourite has been the 925 even though it is has its rather annoying flaws, one of them being the phone speaker doesn't work very well (or at all, even). It's also scratched up as hell but still looks pretty good. But as a handset, it feels great and the display is so nice coming from the 625 which has a rather dull display in comparison. I'm sure my next phone will be another Windows Phone, probably the flagship that's available when I buy it.
Tablets:
July 2014 - December 2014: Microsoft Surace RT
December 2014 - present: Microsoft Surface Pro
Got them both for free from school. The Pro is better for obvious reasons.
Actually, I still feel that the Surface Pro is hands down the best COMPUTER I've ever used, let alone tablet!

Just a Samsung Galaxy S4. Black version.
Has an Otterbox case.
I would never spend over $200 for a phone. But that's just me. I actually got this on a Cybermonday sale from Cricket for $100. Uses Kitkat.
Speaking of Kitkat... What's with these stupid names? Gingerbread, Cotton Candy, Kitkat, Lollipop. Why don't they name the OS after alcohol drinks? The Margerita. The Pina Colada. The Tom Collins. LOL!
I'd like to have a Blackphone from Silentcircle. But that's on the back burner ATM.

You have a good taste in tablets!
I love all Surfaces apart from maybe the RT and the 3 (not the Pro 3, just 'the 3'). The RTs were too restrictive and when you have over 200 of them to manage they're a pain, believe me (can't just deploy a custom image to them like you could if it ran proper Windows) and of course Windows RT and the Surface RT platform is obsolete now. The TouchCover keyboards we've got with our RTs are just horrible too.
The 3 just seems to be 'doomed'. It looks very pretty but it's quite expensive for what it is and it's not terribly powerful either. It ran 8.1 OK but it doesn't seem to like 10 much, quite a few driver problems. Got 25 of them at school and had quite a few issues with a lot of them especially once they'd been upgraded from 8.1 to 10. I also don't think the pen and the handwriting experience is as nice on the 3 as some of the other Surfaces. The 6 hour charging time is just ridiculous too. Yes, it charges via USB which can be nice, but even when plugged into the mains it takes a good 6 hours to fully charge which is unacceptable. It's like an Anfla Romeo: very pretty but might have its problems.
But the original Pro, the Pro 2, Pro 3 and Pro 4 are all excellent. Used them all, but used the original one and the Pro 3 the most. Very versatile computers that actually represent good value for money and all beautifully built, gorgeous tablets.
