so christmas time is coming up, ill be coming into some much needed cash money. that being said, ill have the funds for a new phone.
here is the background story: my blackberry storm (ONE) sucks. ive beaten it to death and it still keeps going, which is great. it's too bad that the phone itself is a pile of ****. the screen stopped 'clicking' in the most frequented corner of the phone, the screen sticks (from an entire brandy/coke being spilled, that's another story), it lags horrible, freaks out on it's own, etc. either way, it's time for something new.
i am interested in smart phones only. if i wanted an old school flip phone that i could flush down the toilet for fun i wouldnt be having this conversation with you all. also, do not recommend and iphone. i am clearly not a trendy hipster, nor do i want to be lumped into that asinine phone fad. i dont really have any brand loyalty, but apple can suck my balls.
i have verizon. i need a phone that they offer, so keep that in mind.
here are what i've figure out i NEED in a phone so far:
- 4G capable (ill mainly use it for below option)
- hot spot capable (need to tether for the interwebs when im on the road)
- if i drop calls because it touches my face funny, i will be pissed off a lot
here is what i am unsure about in a phone:
- dont care for slider keyboards. they make the phone bulky, full touch screen is A-OK with me.
- doesnt have to be a crazy multimedia phone. i dont watch movies and ****. the most i will do is listen to some music if im on a long car ride or something.
- battery life. i DO NOT charge my phone at work or in the car. people that do are retarded. it needs to last all day until i put it on the charger when i go to bed. (i know there are ways around this, like not running 4G and WiFi, etc.)
- i would like it to be user friendly, but not something a 4 year old can figure out (see iphone comments above).
- i'm not a retard and i won't destroy a phone. that being said, i dont need something indestructible. my phone is either in my pocket, or on the table/thing in front of me.
the fact of the matter is that i dont NEED a phone that does everything and anything, but i like the option. having navigation, speedy internet usage, useful app downloads, etc. is great and i want to have the option of doing it given that i need it. right now my BB storm fails at just about all of that.
phones that have interested me lately:
- motorola razr
- samsung charge
- htc rezound
- motorola bionic
i know there are more, but there are so damn many that i have no idea which one would make a better phone FOR ME.
help a brother out. compare and contrast these things with me.
