Your favorite smart phone and why please
I've been doing my best to avoid the smart phone thing for a while, but my birth anniversary approaches and the question has been swarming my head. Others are somewhat shocked that I'm the internet girl in the family and I don't own a smart phone.
Right now I use a not so smart phone - which can do some internet if I were desperate but I never bother as it seems I always have my computer on me - or my old ipod, another part of this query.
So, the old ipod touch is now unable to update to the latest ios, but it's a fine ipod as it has a nice 64gb memory in it. It came out before the flash option for the photos, so I really just want to load it with lots of music now and get rid of all my cd's.
When I first got the ipod I used it for checking mobile sites, playing lots of candy crush, and found how I could even use it to blog if needed. Could check emails, take photos, etc.
I like my phone to be a phone. I'm concerned about becoming too reliant on the phone to do all the other stuff I like to do in that I will certainly stick it in my back pocket at some point and excuse myself to use the ladies room only to return in a panic looking for a bag of rice.
My current phone was a whopping 10$ on ebay. I drop it, kick it, even let it get all sweaty from sticking it in my bra and the battery lasts a good week before needing recharging and the thing just WORKS - as far as being a phone.
Everyone wants me to grow up and get a real smart phone now and I'm feeling pressured to do so.
Normally I'd just go for iphone as I have all mac stuff, but I'm not sure this is the best way to go. It seems like the iphones software will be out of date within another 2 years, and you are forced to get yet another phone to keep up to speed - when all I really want to do is just make a phone call. lol
I'd like to be able to test some things and maybe play with some new apps.
I'm looking for a phone that is smarter than my not so smart phone, but not as smart as the smart phone if that makes sense. Something solid but I'm just not into dropping 650 to 850 bucks just to make a phone call. Heck, I don't even spend 500 a year for my actual phone plan and even that is too much imo.
I'm on ATT. I'm actually going to converge onto a family plan that will drop my bill down to $20 a month (unlimited text and calls which I use). There will be some internet usage available if needed but I'm really used to not really using it so I will likely not use it unless really desperate.
I'm thinking to spend the birthday funds on getting a new ipod touch which will have all the capabilities I believe of those iphones (except making the calls of course), but also getting some kind of smart phone.
So the question is, what is your favorite smart phone and why? I just don't have a lot of experience with them as I like to find one thing and stick with it.
The phone I've been using is a samsung strive. If you look it up you'll see how old they are, lol. I like the size of that and the slide out qwerty keyboard - but I suppose I'd be ok with a touch screen phone.
Would love to hear what you all are using and what you like about them.
