Best Phone?
my beloved, six year old Samsung mobile phone has finally died. it had been submerged in the Willamette, lost in foreign countries, and dropped too many times to count. It was the best free phone money could buy in 2005. But its time has come.
SO- i suppose it's time for me to finally move into the SMART PHONE ERA. but what is the best phone to get? when i say best i mean what is the cheapest phone that will do what i need. a couple years ago I would have bought an iPhone without a second thought. but Apple has disappointed me so many times recently I am completely open to 'switching sides.'
i will pretty much only use my phone to check email and look at maps. and use it as a phone.
PLEASE HELP ME SMART PEOPLE OF UHX

Takes nice HD movies. Terrible microphone though.
Embrace the future with open arms. Each has it's own flaws, but the iphone rules supreme.
The phone is pretty buggy, but I'm generally happy with my cheaper, no-contract option.
The iPhone 4S is definitely the "best" phone, hands down, in terms of performance/speed/camera/apps/options/being able to harass Siri/user interface, but you'll pay AT&T/Verizon quite a bit of money (at least $80 a month for text/mins/limited data) for a similar package.
I haven't used the latest Android phones, but I hear they're pretty rad.
i will use the money i save to embrace the future in other ways. plus i am so disillusioned with apple i am no longer convinced they are the future. someone, sooner or later, is going to knock them off- their arrogance has gone haywire.
I've been really happy with all of the computers I've bought from them/used since 1999, and OS X is so much better, stable, and usable than any operating system out there. I couldn't imagine switching back to Windows or trying to use Ubuntu or something.
The closed ecosystem of iOS/the App store certainly presents its own set of problems/ideological issues, but aside from that, I don't have a huge problem with the hardware or software that they've been creating for the last decade.
what they are doing with the distribution of music and movies is creepy and really bad for said industries.
but it's what they did to final cut pro that broke my heart.
thanks for the offer Mikey, but I think I'm set. this Android will get me were i want to be (on the phone, checking email, looking at maps, and spending less than $70 a month for unlimited everything). i have been hesitant to even get a smart phone, so this should do me just fine. you can text me updates about the future!
Wait, isn't that cheaper than your current plan which *doesn't* have data?
Maybe I will call Tmobile and see if they will send me a smartphone and a new monthly contract
(*note: I obviously will not actually do this because I am incredibly lazy)
I had the same phone for 9 years, that thing was an AMAZING little brick, by the last year I was having to go into the guts of the machine and reprogram it some times...the tech guy on the phone would just start laughing when I would state the make & model. It was such a great phone. I am still in awe of the battery.
60 bucks for a plan without data is not that great, i hate to tell you.
:(
I don't think the build quality has changed.
Some people are good at keeping their things a long time
and others are not.
I never had a tank because I'm bad at it.
BUILT TO LAST!
WHAT AM I DOING?
Just saying.
How about I give you the 3GS, and then you sell your 3G and give me whatever you get for it?
I find this kind of interaction awkward and could use some pointers.
i want to do this!
but i suppose since my g-friend overheard it its okay for her to relate the story 'from her perspective'
Don't be afraid of hurting T-Mobile's feelings!
Just tell them what your thinking is and because you've been with them so long they will probably hook you up.
This phone will keep your bill down, as it receives no incoming calls.
It is also very warm.

This was a revelation for me, btw. I keep pointing out my niceness now to bigmac. "Hey bigmac, did you know I'm NICE? I am so nice! I helped a lady who's car broke down today. Aren't you glad I'm so nice?"
