Cell Phones

[Ron Fox]

My cell phone died today. It was an old basic Motorola work phone. Nothing special. I do not know much about today's new phones so would someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

I've got the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's a bad ass phone. I've had it about a month now. My girlfriend got one as well and loves it. My previous phone was a Samsung and I had that thing for years. I prefer the Android phones. But, I wouldn't mind owning an iPhone, maybe in the future sometime. If you are computer/hardware "challenged", the iPhone is a plug and play type phone that is very user friendly.

I like my Droid X and it is about two years old. I am going to look at the Samsung Galaxy's next. I have enjoyed the Android based phones that I have been around. The iPhone is the standard so you can't go wrong with those either. They are probably the most intuitive phones out there and all of the smartphones these days are very customizable.

Really depends on what you want one to do or not do for you.

Samsung and HTC smart phones or the Casio G'zOne Ravine flip.

Verizon coverage is my preference........fwiw.

Ron --- Tell you the best way to figure it out for yourself....


Go down to the mall this weekend -- and PLAY with 'em all.... but don't just play with 'em --- get your hands on WORKING phones and see which one you can just pick up and make it do all the stuff -- like take a picture -- where'd the picture go? Can you find it? Or do you have to read a 100 page book to operate the "features"? Go with the one that you can actually USE...

Coverage is an area by area thing... so the carrier is whatever works for you - they pretty much all sell the same or similar phones.

Nothing more frustrating than having a device that you can't figure out how to use!

The iphone is the most intuitive phone bar none. An idiot can (and often does) figure it out.

iphones are like Camaro's unless you get a case with skinny white stripes.

My old phone was a basic flip up phone. Work will be paying for it so not sure how far I can go on price, etc. just yet. Our carrier is Verizon. I would like to have a nice, simple touch screen for easy texting, a good camera, and long battery life. I need it to talk to clients and to store client information. It would be nice to have my work emails go to the phone but not sure how all that works (phone plans, packages, internet, etc.) And yes I am an Idiot when it comes to cell phones I will take Gregs advice and take my time and not just buy the first phone I see.

I have not yet done any homework on phones so please educate me. Iphones, smart phones...

Thanks for the help.
