What's that? Sounds like you'd get sticky fingers using the phone!

So, what did you decide?

My phone is so old that it fell out of compatibility with my car. That's a statement I could have never known I'd make while dreaming about the future as a teen. I have a Ford that uses Sync, and I can no longer access my phonebook. All other functions work, but it's a 6 year old LG phone and is going to continue to have problems and getting batteries will become an issue.

I don't have a smart phone, there are so many choices and I have never used one, that I have been agonizing over what to get. Hence my late dive into the smart phone pool. I have close access to computers most of the time, so I'm not one to want to use a phone to get on the internet. Nor do I download or listen to recorded music. I just talk, take and send pictures, and text, period. This may change once I get one, but I'm going to want something simple to use, not much troble to maintain, and inexpensive to purchase and use through Verizon.

Coming late to this discussion and posting a thought that is hopelessly behind where the discussion is now, but hey that's how I roll....

As a general rule, I've noticed that if people are not sure which phone they want, Android or iPhone, they end up happier with an iPhone.

Personally, I think you should get a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X

RStar, I decided to take Scrooge's advice and wait.

I do not have too far to go to make the coup de grace on my last big balance. I can live another couple of months without a spiffy phone. Does not lessen the Ohh it's so freakin shiny and I want want WANT it.

With the firm employee discount, I can get a nice iPhone and the monthly will be about $70 a month, which seems to be a good deal. So when the time comes, I will be choose and iPhone.

I think you should go back in time, get a Palm Pre, and hopefully become the tipping point that prompts the developer community to write apps for the far superior OS, leading to widespread acceptance and emergence of quality hardware platforms instead of the cheap piece of sh*t Palm/HP released.

Good choice!

So you're not going to heed my advice for the Dynatac?

I think I've settled on pre-ordering the Galaxy S3. As long as I pre-order by the 28th of June, I get to keep my current plan. And the Verizon guy on the phone went through his whole "the new pricing saves most people money" and then stopped abruptly and said, "oh, your current plan is way better for you. You should try to keep it."
