It's time i finally get with the program and buy a better phone. My 4 year old flip phone isn't cutting it anymore. So for the tech savvy people what is a good smartphone to buy and why? I have Verizon service so thats what i would like input on. My basic desires are internet capable, easy to use and durable. Would be great if it was fairly fast and had good cell reception in the local area.
I have been very happy with my I phone 5. I switched to the I phone after a few androids and I like it a lot more. Get a good case like an otter box though.
after owning a iphone 4s and now a galaxy s3. I have to say i enjoy the s3 a lot more. Not having to use stupid ass itunes for every little thing is a huge plus.\
With durability on any new smartphone its all in the case.
After owning every HTC phone in existence and being on the Sprint network for a decade I can say I've never been more happy than I am now with a Note 2 on Verizon.
Get one of those smartphones. Those things can do everything. Phone calls, surf the internet, it does voice-to-text, it does email, it can play music and clean your yard too.
Basically, the "must have" phones right now are the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC One (slightly smaller screen than the S4. Arguably better build quality than S4, has a unibody aluminum construction as opposed to Samsung's plastic. And has a 4mp "ultrapixel" camera they're calling it. some new tech lens), iPhone 5 (blah.... same ol apple iphone that's been regurgitated over and over again, with incremental updates for the last 5 years. Same tired old design and operating system. Yes it works. Yes it's reliable. Yes it's a quality device. But to me...it's just a tired old design. I want something new, different, innovative, customize able, just something DIFFERENT.)
If you're looking for durable, the g'zone commando is about as close to bulletproof as you're going to get from a phone. I picked one up not too long ago, and though it's no iphone 5, it definitely satisfies your listed criteria plus some.
The HTC One is bad ass but isn't available through Verizon yet, it is supposed to be released this summer some time. The HTC DNA is basically the same phone but in a smaller package, I have heard mostly good things about it....mine should be here today.
If I'm not mistaken you can get an extended battery and make it last as long as a razr maxx HD. Believe me its nice to have a 3 day standby on your battery.
galaxy s3 for cheap
galaxy s4
htc one (when it comes out)
razr maxx
all 4 of those will treat you really well.
I have the HTC Rezound and it's a great phone. my daughter has the galaxy s3 and the wife has the razr (non maxx)
all 3 are great phones so far.
