Everybody has a smart phone now.  Right?

What make and make and model use?
Would you care to evaluate it for us?

I have an HTC G2.
It's a little dated but I love it so much I bought a backup for it on eBay. Now I have two in case one breaks.

It does everything I need it to do and gets 4g service.  My favorite feature is that it acts as an incredible wifi tethering hotspot.  Much better than my wife's samsung galaxy S2.

Privately I use an iPhone 4S. It's a good phone because it just works.

At work I make do with a Samsung Galaxy S2. I wish it worked half as well as the i Phone. It's buggy and drains batteries quickly.

I don't have one either.

Longing for my old Nokia 3310  :P

That was a thing you could use as a weapon too, if needed.

Samsung Galaxy Precedent, it goes on ebay, and I can get my email...when it gets a signal...doesn't freeze up...or the battery isn't dead.  :P   Really, that's all I need it to do, besides texting, I really don't call anyone.

  I have a Samsung Galaxy S3.  I love the big screen for internet-on-the-go!  :thumbup:

Yeah, it's a plus, definitely. My problem with the S2 is that the way it drains batteries, I am going to need a new one soon.

my wife has the same problem with hers.  She reports that some of her friends do as well.

I assume that is why they moved from the S2 to the S3 so quickly.  They were probably trying to match the iPhone with a release date and put out an inferior product.

I love my phone.

I bought it for the cool wallpaper.....no, I really did.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
