Smart Phones....what is your experience
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 2:59 pm
I'm finally going to upgrade my phone. I have Sprint right now, and will likely stay as the rating between the top three doesn't really vary much as far as price and service, and I am eligible for a nice upgrade on all my lines.
That being said...what type of phone do you have, and why do you like it? My hubby has an ancient HTC with stylus touch screen and it has been very reliable and he can use Microsoft outlook, word and excel on it - he uses those programs extensively. From what I have read, the new HTC phones are just as reliable, but only one mentions the use of the Microsoft Software.
I have friends who use the iPhone 4 and 4s, and friends who use HTC brands. Each of them love their phones but are technologically challenged and can't really articulate to me why I should buy the phone that they have over another brand. Samsung is highly rated...but most products that I have bought from Samsung are crap, so I don't know how that relates to their smartphone lines. I have an iPod Touch and an original iPad. I can't say enough about how wonderful my iPad is....can't imagine life without it anymore, really. I bought a used one off a friend who was upgrading and paid less than $400 - WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! So...I'm assuming that an iPhone would be wonderful, albeit limiting as far as the OS goes.
So...what do you all think??? I definitely want a newer smart phone with touch screen technology. Comments? :geek:

Not like you I have had good luck with Samsung electronics "so far".
