Thanks!
I can personally recommend the OnePlus One. Great, inexpensive android phone.
Picked up a Droid Turbo 64 gb a month ago. Battery life is better than previous Droid Razr Maxx.
Verizon (if you’re on them) has a Black Friday deal on them, iirc.
7 year old Motorola flip phone with fat battery pack with prepaid Verizon, supplemented with an iPod Touch. No contracts, no big outlays.
I finally gave up on Tracfone and joined the iPhone environment. Yes I was already in iMac and iPod Touch so I knew what I was getting but the 6 is a jewel. Big thing is that I did budget for it and since I will be using minimal data roaming, it looks practical to me.
I love my Droid Mini. It’s been a great phone so far. My only complaint is that it’s a battery eating monster.
I LOVE my Samsung Galaxy phone, not only is it awesome, but it seamlessly integrates on my home network with my TV and appliances. I love being able to watch “The Walking Dead” on my phone while stepping out for a smoke. Keeps my from annoying the rest of the family by ‘rewinding’ it when I get back, and it came back on before I got back. lol
Interesting she doesn’t even review the Windows phone because they don’t have anything she considers a necessity that can’t be found on her iPhone. Not a very unbiased review. Comes across as an apple phile with preconceived notions going in. I know the i6 is the greatest, it’s an apple product for gawd sakes, but if I had to lower my standards what would I buy?
I’d add the Nokia 1020.,,,,,,,, just for the camera. 41 mp!
I DOWNGRADED to the cheapest Windows phone out there? Why? The price (thru Cricket), and my current Android phone kept needing a recharge all the time it seemed.
I know this will sound strange, but on a PHONE, I actually now prefer Windows Phone. Its just a nicer all around PHONE OS for my purposes. Plus it was like $300 cheaper than the android phone I had before. Battery life is far better with a smaller battery too.
If I want heavy duty portable usage, I take my 7” Android.
Wifey has an iPhone6 on order, I’m clinching my 3-YO Galaxy 4 tight, tho a new 5 Active model is possible, like to holdout til the Galaxy Note Edge, has a curved screen edge.. By the time it comes out, I should be done helping wifey with her new phone.
Lumia 1520 Windows Phone!
For cheapscates like me, there is the “bring your own phone” at Tracfone. You can buy a used Verizon Iphone 4 or 4S on Ebay and activate it as a Tracfone. Be sure it is not Icloud locked and has clean ESN
I miss the simplistic Rotary Dial and the Party line.
For later.
FReeping on my 2 year old Droid RAZR M right now. Usually need to charge the battery at night. Its a great phone and I hate to replace/upgrade. It will soon be time though.
Moto G and newer one (200 bucks)— buy it new, unlocked and get a chip from Red Pocket... uses AT&T towers, no contract and great plans pay per month.
Like the idea of a used i 5 that isn’t sim-locked and then shopping the sim for a plan that is peanuts.
