New Phone Time!
That time has come again for us to choose a new phone.
So we went to Verizon.com to see what phones we can upgrade to, and...................we are thinking way too much about it! We read reviews and basically every phone has horrible battery life, and they all shut down for no reason. We have considered the HTC Trophy and the ThunderBolt though, maybe a Droid phone too. All the 5 star-1 star reviews have made choosing a phone difficult. So does anyone here at the ark have any suggestions for phones? Don't get crazy though, we're not rich so don't suggest the 64GB iPhone 4S or something lol |
I would recommend the 16GB iPhone 4s. It's super smooth and more than enough room really, unless you will be using your phone as an iPod too.
Plus, my bro works at the Apple store at Town Square and could probably help you out a bit. PM me for details. |
Id highly recommend the galaxy nexus
|
I would go with the Trophy. Honstly the Windows phones are really awesome. i have played around with the Droids and Iphones and the Trophy is the better choice. If you want a really good functioning phone that you don't have to mess with that just works get the Trophy. If you want a phone that can run Custom Roms get the droid. Be prepared to have things force close and having some issues. If you are a sheep get the Iphone.

|

Be a "sheep." There's a reason why Mac products are so popular,.. because they're the best.
If you use an iPod already, combine your devices into one. Nothing against Windows-based devices, but I'd sell my iPod and use those funds towards an iPhone. |
just checked the Trophy has a removable battery.
If you get the Trophy be sure to look into a Zune pass if you like music. 10 per mth unlimited downloads. Also you have access to Xbox Live people tend to follow the hype on apple products. They are overpriced for what you get. Apple is the reason why ebooks prices are so high. Google the Agency Model... i choose to not support a company like that and i like having something different that out performs IOS |
I've had a Droid 3 for about six months now and the only real problems I've had with it came from 3rd party apps. The battery life for any smartphone all depends on how you use it. With intense use (lots of different apps, sometimes at the same time), my phone normally goes about 3-4 hours on a full charge. With moderate use (a few apps, texting, phone calls), it lasts about 8-10 hours. With minimal use (texting/phone calls), it can last me a couple days before I have to re-charge.
Also, the type of apps you use will determine how quickly the battery is drained. Games like Angry Birds and Eternal Warriors (i.e. graphic-intensive) will use up battery power a lot faster than texting. Also, make sure to turn off your wireless if you're not using it. It will constantly search for Wi-Fi connections in the background and use up battery life for no reason. (Btw, my above stats were while almost constantly using Wi-Fi for connectivity.) |
Iphone.....being a Sheep is ok in my book...and $99 for a 4 was ok in my book.
I love my iphone. But when you say "We" are you and the wife going to share the same phone??? |

lol We should have added a poll At first we wanted the iPhone.............because thats what people do......everyone wants an iPhone. but we don't want it anymore because they are always making a new iPhone with new features and stuff. the iPhone 4S came out in October, and there already rumors of iPhone 5. What the hell? We would be in a 2 year contract, we're not gonna buy a 4S just for it to be obsolete next year. the HTC Trophy came out in may and as far as we know there is no talk a HTC Trophy 2..............there better not be a Trophy 2 within the next 2 years...........or we'll be super pissed lol |
yes you can access Xbox features without a Xbox. like you can make an avatar and you can play some xbox live games on the phone. i like texas holdem and hydro thunder. you can earn achievements on the phone as well. multiplayer games are coming this year to the phone. All in all it really is a good phone.
Zune was a better product. there i said it. it is better because the sound quality blows away the ipod. Zune had a poor name and marketing. it could have been more.... but Zune pass for the phone rocks!!! |
if you decide on the trophy add me as a friend on xbox! gamer tag is usagent27

Just a heads up- I'm not sure how much data you have on your iPod, but transferring it to an iPhone isn't very difficult with iTunes. |
I have the phone that came free with my service.
It's pretty cool because it can record like 30 seconds worth of video and take pictures and stuff. I've had it so long, it only works on speaker phone now. You should get that one. |
just curious what you ended up getting
