About time for a new phone

Although I don't have a cell phone (I can't be the only one here!) most everyone I know has a smartphone. Seems to me that the phones have pretty much equal capabilities, and a lot of disparity between price tags. There's a lot of iBacklash these days, perhaps the prices on the iPhone will reflect that at some point.

I held off getting a "Smart" phone for a while. Just couldn't justify it, that is until my bank came out with a device that allows me to take credit cards using my phone. So, after seesawing back and forth I got the Droid 3 because I wanted a physical keyboard instead of just a virtual one. So far no hiccups and it makes taking a credit card easy peezy. I know this will not be a prerequisite for most folks but it sure has made a difference in my business.

Very convenient. I just have an iPod touch, and the keypad is difficult to use.

Oldest daughter and wife both have a cell phone. I don't have a phone for myself either.

Last year my oldest got sick and we realized that we'll need a cell phone at all times. I refuse to pay for a landline and a cell, so we decided to cancel the landline and look for a cellphone. The selection for regular "non-smart" phones is suprisingly limited. So, we just treat the cell # as a landline, I never carry it unless I'm alone with my daughter. My wife had a pre-paid a couple years ago, and it was very economical, but the coverage was terrible. Do you get funny looks when you tell people you don't have a cell? I sure do!

I prefer the iPhone. I am on my second one (had a 3gs, upgraded to the 4s when it came out last fall). Better hardware and IMO better software as well. I know too many people who have android phones, most of them sit there and claim that their phone and OS are better than the iPhone and iOS, yet they all constantly complain about them. iPhone looks better (IMO) software is easier to use, and there are a LOT more apps available for it.
