Smart phones?

speden · Mar 4, 2012

I was wishing I had a smartphone on Saturday morning while waiting out some wind holds. While I sat bored and twiddling my thumbs, it seemed like everyone else was entertaining themselves with their phones. But all I've got is my old flip phone. I did have a book I could have read in my car, but I was too lazy to hike out to get it.

Getting a new phone next week. I need to decide if I'm going for another phone with a physical keyboard or not...

No, I'm not doing TR's this year. It was kinda firm since the sun really didn't come out. But where they ran the groomers was good.

Boy are you nosy!

We're deadlocked right now on the phones. But my Palm Pre Plus (#3 in 20 months) is dying fast. Won't make it to July.

You might want to take Motorola and Samsung off your list of potential phones since they might have to give Apple money for each handset!

After you've bought the thing, who cares?

Besides, Motorola (now owned by Google) has a huge patent portfolio. They will have no problem finding offsetting patent infringements. Samsung doesn't have that kind of intellectual property portfolio. They'll likely be paying Apple royalties. Ditto HTC and the other Chinese suppliers.

Eh, nothing new. Apple's been playing that game for a while now.

I guess when you have an inferior product you have to resort to trying to cripple your competition with legalities instead of innovations... :lol:

I think that's fine as long as you stay near cities.

Whats on the short list for phones, surprised you haven't made a thread yet to get our opinions on you potential selections!

I don't really care what your opinions are...

My wife's short list is really short, she wants an iphone. Mostly for the camera, and partially so she can use the few apps she's bought for her ipod touch on it...

What I'd like is one of the newest Android phones, but I'm not spending that kind of money on a phone, especially when we're looking at buying a house. I'm going to wait and see what they have in the store, and if there's any deals, then I'll get the best phone I can afford based on the selection. I'd prefer to get a 4G phone, but I'd settle for one that's not.

Smart phones?

Do you have one or more smart phones?

Yes

No
