Getting a smart phone. Need suggestions.

You won't regret it.  I don't <3

Android 4.0 is beautiful. 

Also, I came from an Original Droid, and not having a keyboard is not an issue at all when the screen is this big.

Htc rezound...1.5ghz duel-core processor (fastest processor on any phone yet)

but the battery life is very nope.  It has a smaller battery than the Galaxy Nexus but more power.

Also GIANT screen on the Nexus, but it doesn't feel huge. 

The selling point for me on it was NO carrier or manufacturer bloatware and you don't have to wait for verizon to push out updates; you get the directly from google.

To be honest, iPhone is probably your best pick. As long as you don't treat it like crap, it is the most simple choice that you can find plenty to do on. Android is far to disorganized, and their market is a bunch of crap dotted with slightly good App Store remakes.

If you were to get and iPhone, but wanted something not Apple but mobile, I'd suggest a Microsoft tablet or an Android tablet.

I've had my iPhone 4S for roughly 2 months now, got a nice, cheap plastic/aluminum case that protects the back and I simply am a careful person, it still runs fine, I enjoy every minute using it, and I do not miss my Android Eris the least bit.

Edit: I am eyeing that Nexus however. It seems more refined than all previous Android phones, and has more Google integrated into it. But, as I said, no regrets with my purchase and I look forward to what will come in the future.

Ordered the iPhone, worried about the data plan, I got 2GB/Month, will that be good for some youtube, googling and whatever?

I think you can trick the apps into thinking their on Wifi, right?

I dunno, I heard something about that, like Pandora and whatever.


I'm also going to use this for my car in a year, which is one of my main reasons for wanting it.

eww...iphone


even if the apps think they are on wifi it still uses cellular data...

Uhh,, Wifi =/= Data Plan, so it wont charge me much for using Wifi, like at my house my stuff wont cost anything.

Yeah, but if you trick your phone to thinking you are on wifi(possible) it still uses cellular data. unless you are using an actual wifi connection...

Lol, the minimum 2gb data package is more than enough.
iPhone all the way. If you want more protection, use an Otterbox. Motherloving tough.
It's an incredible phone, and the app store is huge.

You might be able to trick the apps to think they're on wifi (whatever that means), but you can't trick Verizon.

My Galaxy has a Data Tracking feature, basically tells me how much data I've used.



Google Music takes a lot of bandwidth, but I love it so.  Luckily, I could renew the contract I had on my Droid, which means I have unlimited data for the same price a 2GB now. :D

Durable. Not an iPhone. Steel plated. Style. What else could you possibly want?
