cell phones ...and a lil vent..

I know we've talked about this 100 times already, but what kind of phone do you have? Do you like it? Does it work well?

I'm about to throw my blackberry out of a moving car!!! I have to pull the battery out and reboot it several times a day. It takes forever to come back on. It's always freezing.

Because of work I need my phone to work all the time. Ever since I've been using my phone so often b/c of work it has been working less and less. I've had it!

I have verizon. They just started selling the iphone, but I don't have an upgrade until May 2012, so i will not be paying $600 for a iphone. I've turned to ebay. I'm trying to be very careful and reading everything about each listed phone.

Does anyone here have a droid or a palm pixi? if not, what do you have? I need it to do e-mail for sure.

TIA.

Re: cell phones ...and a lil vent..

  • I have a Droid phone.  It's the Samsung Intercept (I have Sprint).  I was pretty annoyed with it for awhile, but there was a software upgrade a month or so ago, and I haven't had a problem with it since.

    I really like it.  I'll admit that I haven't played with an iPhone in a long time (probably not since the first one came out), but I don't really see how an iPhone is really any better than what I have.  Most apps now are made in iPhone and Droid versions.  I have internet access, FB access, email access, navigation, you name it. 

    DH has the HTC EVO 4G.  His phone is definitely better than mine, but only because A) he's on 4G and I'm on 3G (so his phone is faster), and B) his screen is bigger than mine.  But I prefer a smaller phone, and I like the fact that I have a slide-out keyboard for mine (although admittedly, I almost never use the keyboard).

  • I have an iphone and really like it, but they say the Droid is a good phone too.

  • I have an old school freebie phone from about 4 years ago. :)

    but my friend from work had droid through verizon until the iphone came out through them. He couldn't wait for the iphone to come out b/c he absolutely hated his Droid. He said there were all sorts of issues with it.

    my cousin who had droid through verizon also upgraded to the iphone when it came out b/c she hated hers too.

  • I have a droid. It is ok for what I want but when my contract is up next Feb I am def switching to verizon and getting a iphone. TT has a iphone (we have differnt cell phone providers and never switched our  plans together) and I LOVE it. Also we are going to teether ( i think that is how it is spelled) so we can get internet acess on our laptops. As long as your phone has service you can get online. Which is nice since we dont have internet at our house. And I think it is a extra 20.00.
  • I have an iphone and LOVE IT! I just got DH one for his birthday. I know AT&T sells refurbished ones. Mine was a refurb one, so maybe Verizon will do the same thing. It was only $99 bucks when I got a reburb one and I just paid $49 for DH's reburb one.

    I have a friend that has a droid and she said that she has all kinds of issues with hers as well.

  • Huh.  I wonder if the problems with the Droid phones are dependent on the network they're on?  Because like I said, once that automatic software upgrade came through a month or two ago, I haven't had a single problem with my Droid phone.

  • DH and I both have iPhones and love them. In fact, I got mine not long after they came out, in Dec. 2008. I had one minor issue (the vibrate/ring button broke off) a couple of weeks later. They replaced my phone (said it had been an issue with a lot of that set) and have had no issues since. I love it and plan to upgrade to the iPhone 4 (or 5 if it is released) at the end of the year. We are on AT&T.

    My sis and BIL both have Droids and love them. I've used my sister's and honestly I'm not crazy about it. It does have some good features, but I just prefer the programming/layout of Mac products.

  • I'm glad that you all love your iphones...I really wish I could get one right now, but I just can't. The iphone 5 is coming out in June and then I can upgrade in may...I need something that I can work from to get me through the next 14 months...

  • I have a hand-me-down phone that someone gave me...but my cousins all have Droids with Verizon and love them.  I've never heard of them having any problems at all.
