Advice on what cell phone to get

[Lacy33]

I wanted to buy a new iPod, so had the option of upgrading my old cellphone to an iPhone. I decided against it, way to expensive and impractical. Now I have an iPod touch with 32Gb memory (an iPhone doesn't have that) and when my telephone one day stops working I'll just buy a new one for 50 euros and hope it lasts another 6 years

So if one does not toss their phones onto the subway tracks or flip them into the drink, they can actually go on for years?

Forget my notes.
I will just make a copy of this thread and take it with me. I'll rattle the paper like an angry granny if the young techies get too aggressive and warn them they are up against the physicsfourms gang here!

LOL The i-phone has been named the world's worst cell phone.

Yeah, by some random guy that nobody's ever heard of. I could blog about how I think that the Mercedes SLK is the biggest steaming pile of crap on the road...but I would hope no one would actually link that to PF as an actual source.

I know that you and your sprint phone are just jealous of me Evo. It's okay. My iPhone and I will send you some flowers.

I'm having the same problem. I'm sick of using my POS motorola razor that gets no reception and has a battery life of 5 minutes. All I want is just a simple phone I can call people with, is durable, gets good signal, and has a decent battery life but no one makes phones like this anymore.

I have had the new Motorola droid since day 1. I love this thing to death!

I agree. I can't even find a phone that doesn't have a camera on it anymore. I NEVER use the camera on my cell phone, and would be perfectly happy with one that doesn't have it (I think I have literally used the camera once, when I first got the phone, just to figure out how it works, then never touched it again).

I wouldn't even know what to suggest to someone who just wants a phone for...oh golly...calling people!

I don't even own a camera. I'm not a photographer, I don't need 12 megapixel pictures. The 5.0 megapixel camera on my new droid is awesome. It comes with 16 gb of memory so I can take plenty of pictures. In fact there is an app where you can take pictures of UPC codes of products in stores and somehow the app is able to figure out what product it is and look for the best price of that product at all the stores in your area. It's mind blowing what this thing can do!
