I have an iphone, but only because my wife said hers was useful for work. I use it to call people.

I don't get the whole loyalty to phones. They're phones. Brand loyalty makes idiots out of otherwise sensible people.

I've never had any issues with the 2 iPhones I've had personally nor the half dozen or so the family has. And none of us have ever cracked a screen because we frankly we're not morons

And yes it's just a phone and works well for the wide and teenagers. An I know how to use this one so why switch when it does everything I need and more?

Unintentional slip, or a deeper look into what you're thinking? I'm sure she wouldn't be happy about it either way.

They just keep getting bigger (and older) don't they? That's why keep trading up to a newer model and don't marry them. Its a lot more expensive in the depreciation, but its more entertaining and fun.

So pay more for less because you don't need the more?

No I pay the same price so in 6 months it still runs as fast as new, I've turned this phone off like 4 times since I got it. Tried and true. The "more" is all gimmicks and bull**** so no, don't need it.

Android keyboards are better and that wouldn't happen!

Hey guys I could use some info while ya'll are talking about phones. I am looking for a new phone, I have a iphone 4 right now and dont want another one; just not happy with the iphone. I currently have Spring (so unlimited talk,text, web) and use the phone mostly for music, text, and web, only use maybe 100 minutes a month on talk. Now lets talk about what I want:
BT (connect to my '11 and Focus)
keyboard (miss having one)
good camera
expandable memory ability
under $150

Right now I was kinda leaning towards the HTC EVO 4G I think it was, slider with keyboard. Feedback? Better options?

Thanks

If you want a keyboard, that will bring your options down to a very limited few.

On Sprint, you're limited to the Motorola Photon, LG Mach, Kyocera Rise, and a pre-owned Samsung Epic.

If I were to choose one of those, I would go for the Motorola. I like Moto phones for one reason, excellent reception. People will complain about them about build quality or whatever else, but you can't beat them for a signal in weak areas. From experience, LG has the worst reception. I have LG now, but it works for me in the areas i'm in so i'm okay with it.

The Kyocera on Sprint only has 512K ram, so stay away from that one.

So if you want a keyboard, then your two options would be either the LG or Moto. If you can do without the keyboard, then that opens up a lot more choices and decisions.

Just from my experiences as well as my circle of friends.

Like I said I could use android just fine, I'd like to be able to tether, I just prefer the iPhone. iOS 7 will be out soon enough and I'll jailbreak. Then I can turn my phone into a S4 and be part of the "master race".

What about the following - any owners here with feedback on these:
HTC EVO Shift 4G?
BlackBerry Bold 9930?
BlackBerry Curve 9350?
HTC 7 Arrive - 16GB?
HTC Touch Pro 2?

Thanks

I haven't really had a chance to check out all those phones, but the ones I did look at seemed pretty old/crappy. Having a keyboard severely limits your choices...

In other news...I've been waiting a week, but these finally came in.
