Discamper 394 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I am now looking for a new smart phone. I still now use a Motorola razor v2. I’m now looking into getting one of the new Motorola razor droid. Most of my friends have Iphones but complain about them all the time but keep they buying them 1 friend has a new Samsung Galaxy which he loves. So I would love everyone’s input on the phones they have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Todd, I have currently have a HTC Droid and it's ok, I've also had several different models of Blackberry and my daughter has the Samsung Galaxy. My favorite is still the iphone. I miss mine dearly and plan to switch back in 2 months when i have another upgrade due. HOWEVER, my DH is hooked on droids.. we are a house divided.. :rofl2: If you are going to use your phone for music (which I do ALOT at work) and web surfing I recommend the iphone. If those things dont matter, the droid is great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I love my Motorola Droid X; OldeKoot loves her Samsung Galaxy. The best thing to do is go to your cell phone store and "play" with the different ones and find the one that suits YOUR style. I thought I would want one with a real keyboard, but my big fingers handle the on screen version better than the chicklet sized keys on the real ones. Size matters (to some people) - if it doesn't 'fit' your hand, you will end up not liking it as much. Look into battery life, too. Some look impressive, but if it's going to die before the end of your day, it's not as impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thank you all. I like real world input. Must companies now do test in the field and will fix a problem that real people find or have a problem with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have a droid x2 and chris has a bionic. We both really like our phones. I am having a little issue with it but it has more to do with a soon to be eight year old thay lives in the house. :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daddyphat808 - Eric 16 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 As somebody that has to mess with a bunch of smart phones you really want too go the Android iPhone route. Blackberries make me want to curl up in a ball and cry. With my customers we have 300 or so Google Apps users and another 100 using Microsoft Exchange for email/contacts/calendar sync. I do rank the iPhone higher than the droid but only slightly. The droids offer fantastic features in the camera side of things where the iPhone is a better experience for the new smartphone user. Downfall is that there are so many different android phones. But once you go down this patch of smartphone usage you will ask yourself why the hell did it take so long!

TnBob 311 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Ok, now that you know a flip phone is all I NEED (thank you brother Lou, you know me all too well) I have no NEED for my house phone yet I have one.The problem is no cell phone (no carrier) works well in or around my house. If you go out front about 50 toward the road it is great, in the house it is very hit and miss mostly miss. In the back yard, nothing ever.Now ATT makes something called a micro cell that is suppose to fix that. The micro cell connects to your modem and has a GPS (for E911).I have read a bunch of reviews and it doesn't seem like this is a reliable piece of equipment. Reviewers say it has a delay, looses signal or just drops calls, some report that it takes 3 or 4 times just to get a call out and then drops it.Now I have been around the block enough to know that you can't please some people EVER.Does anyone know anything about these?I could save a bunch by getting rid of the house phone (along with some people that don't have my cell #) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I could save a bunch by getting rid of the house phone (along with some people that don't have my cell #)If it weren't for the security system needing a land line, my house phone would be gone too. But I heard that I can get a cell line for that now. Have to look into it.Oh, what the heck is Angry Birds? I don't do video games. They didn't exist when I was a kid.

Discamper 394 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I got rid of my land line a long time ago and now i'm thinking of getting rid of my flip dial phone. I'm going old school if you want to contact me send me a letter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caveat lector 181 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 iphone 4. Jailbreaking (google it) really opens up the functionality a lot, if that is important to you. Somebody above said the user expeerience is very good. That is very true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
