Last Person on Earth to get a SmartPhone - what are your likes/dislikes
I am finally considering making space in budget for a SmartPhone.
I have held off for many reasons.
Since I am currently not working outside of the home, I didn't see the need (although surprisingly there is one which I can totally work around - I have other parents text me when there are last minute activity changes on the fly) and wanted to spend the $$ on other things. Also, I wanted to wait for the technology to improve & prices to get cheaper.
I am getting ready to get ready to get back into the workforce (both kids will be in school full-time in the fall) and SmartPhone Technology, Apps, etc will come into play in my field and I don't want to appear to be the complete Luddite that I really am at heart. And I really would like to consolidate my music, calendar, and all the other nifty things you can streamline to one device.
We are on Verizon and have been for over 10 yrs - I am happy with them (enough).
I want a phone that takes Good Photos & Keep Battery Charge a long time.
I am a phone person and what my Grandmother always called a "good talker", so ease of use of the basic phone function and how it feels in my hand is also important to me.
I use a PC and have never found anything Apple/MAC to be intuitive to me.
My questions - and there are probably a million more I don't know:
- What kind of phone should I get?
- Do you like yours? If so, which one & why?
- Do you have one you DONT like? If so, which one & why?
- How much do you pay for your plan? With whom and what do you get?
- Or just any thoughts you have regarding your smartphone....
- Is there a good review website for the Tech UnSavvy?
And I know there are tons of us that don't have them, if you want to chime in with why you don't, feel free!
