Definitely go 4g. Obviously you know the advantages and the speed acquisition is Tits. Blackberrys have always been overpriced and garbage. Paris Hilton sells though.

I've never had neither the need nor the desire to surf while out of the house and I'm perfectly well entertained by my mp3-player.
Some apps are cool, but I've never seen one I'd like to have.
Four days sound pretty good. What phone do you have? I'll have to keep it in mind, since I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy a smartphone at some point.

We were using them at work, and me being the ITwit, I had had experience setting them up for some of the foremen/salesmen, so I just went with it. No research, no looking into what was happening on the Android or iPhone fronts. I was angry after things sunk in.

I have the Droid Bionic. I bought it because the battery life was rated better then any other phone. I'm sure at this point there might be better options, but its been perfect for me.

What's so good about 4g, is it just faster? I'm on 3g but could go 4g if I wanted.

Agree w/ you about apps. When I got my first smartphone, it did a lot more than I had imagined it could do.

Watching live streams on the move >>>
Apps >>>
Playing GTA >>>

Worth it for the ridiculous amount of shit they can do. You seen this ffs - Flight tracking apps - Flightradar24 - Live flight tracker!

Its akin to the difference in speed of owning a ferrari or owning a chevette.

I've never had a phone

Engine if you're considering a Nexus phone mate keep an eye on the Google Play site. Nexus 6 was down to £304 the other day but went up to £400 (retail price is £500), suspect it'll be going down again soon.

A steal at £304.

Getting my Iphone 6 this week. Upgrade from the 4s.

Bumping because this seems to be the best place to post this.

I'm getting a new phone soon and I've decided on a Samsung. Does anyone here have any experience with specific models and if so, could you fill me in with their pros and cons? Technology baffles me.
