So I’ve been talking about it for a while and the time has come. Greenhorn needs to enter the 21st century and get a smart phone.
My beautiful, indestructible, it-only-texts-and-calls-but-does-so-better-than-your-iphone LG VX8300 are soon going to end our 2.5 year relationship. Here’s a loving photo:
My loving phone of 2.5 years
But now the question is…what to get next?
I’ve done a little preliminary research and narrowed it down to 3 possibilities:
AT&T's iPhone
Verizon's Incredible
The Next Great Cell Phone
So I’d love to hear from any of you on what you recommend.
A few final thoughts:
1) I hate AT&T.
I know all about the dropped calls and it really is as close to a dealbreaker as it can get for me. You really gotta sell me on why an iphone is worth it even if I can’t call.
2) I’ve heard that the EVO and Nexus One are both inferior to the Incredible
So that’s why the Incredible is up there. I’ve read from reviews at EnGadget and others that the Incredible fixes a lot of the UI stuff and has a better battery than those other two Droid phones.
3) I haven’t heard anything good about Blackberry.
Blackberry isn’t on the list because I haven’t heard anyone say they “love” their blackberry. I have heard “I can’t wait to get rid of it.”
4) I’m willing to wait.
If there’s something mind blowing coming out this summer, then I’m willing to stick with my old friend the VX8300 another month or two.
