Post by: McGiver on April 07, 2013, 09:41:21 AM

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 do like the idea of being able to purchase extra batteries and the ability to easily change them on he android phones.

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.

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.
