What is the best cell phone out there other than the iphones?

[mdmc]

I have an lg phone - free texting and 3g but am thinking of going on a contract with a new phone.. Anyone willing to share some thoughts?

I've been thinking about the Samsung Galaxy Note..

1. Samsung or Motorola flip phones (any model)

[mdmc]

4. curious, I've never considered a flip phone

[HopeHoops]

5. That's all I'll use - avoids "butt dialing".

[mdmc]

6. I never thought of that

thanks for the replies.. peace and low stress hopehoops

7. Enough alcohol and there's no stress involved.

Seriously though, I like the flip phones for exactly that reason. You don't have to key-lock them and they don't automatically key-lock. They're also smaller and fit in a front pocket.

9. What's interesting about "dumb" phones (like flip phones)

is that I just read recently that they not only outsell smart phones worldwide by a 4 to 1 ratio, but the sale of one is also more profitable to the makers than with smart phones.

I own a Kyocera Loft (basically a Crackberry-Lite) and it was only fifty bucks. It does everything I need in a phone, i.e., phonecalls, text and sometimes email. You can surf the web with it, but it doesn't really display images well, so it's really only good for textual information. Again, I don't need anything more.

And that's the thing for anyone looking at new phones. What do you really need, versus what you don't mind paying for that you may never use?

10. Kyrocera still makes phones? They never even made good printers!

That's a real shock.

11. My first phone was a Kyocera.

It lasted nine years. I'd probably still be using it if my carrier supported it anymore. They're tough phones

[HopeHoops]

16. They made tough printers too!

12. something to think about..

I really just need text and calls, but the internet would be nice as well. Thanks for the post..

19. I had the same Motorola flip phone for years

I loved that phone and it was tough.

I know what you mean. The only reason I got a new phone was because the Motorola had a stupid-ass charger connector that finally shit the bed in the "connection" department. The knew ones are all micro-USB. I bitched for YEARS about needing different chargers. I guess somebody heard me and FINALLY made one standard.

8. I like my Evo 4g

I do 90% of my web surfing on it. Unfortunately, we only have one 4g tower here.

13. I've been happy with my Droid Incredible 2

14. Try the Samsung Galaxy or the HTC Titan.

One runs Windows Phone 7, the other runs Android 3.0.

15. wifes new work testing phone is a droid4

she likes it so far

17. I have a Tracfone dumbphone

It makes calls, it receives calls. why would I want anything else? I don't watch TV or internet surf on my home phone, so why should I do it elsewhere. And it only costs me about $10/mo.
It's worked anywhere in the country I've been and compared to smartphones has far fewer dropped calls.

18. ditto to the tracfone....

my husband and I both have them, they're just fine for what we use them for, and mine does have texting available....
