Help me pick a cellphone
I'm a web developer/ producer. mostly i build wordpress or drupal sites but i've done joomla, modx, magento, ektron, dotnetnuke, code igniter. I've been doing this about 6 years and i've never owned a smartphone in my life. thinking about biting the bullet. I'm on verizon in the ny metro area. I have no idea what i want. help me figure it out.
- jordandanford 15y agoVerizon has a lot of choices, but something from the Droid line is probably your best bet. If you want a physical keyboard, then I'd recommend the Droid 3 (http://engt.co/k9nRy4 http://engt.co/k9nRy4), but if you're fine with an onscreen one, then I'd go with a Droid X2 (http://engt.co/lUahHe http://engt.co/lUahHe) or Droid Charge (http://engt.co/jPK3k6 http://engt.co/jPK3k6) – the X2 has a faster processor and arguably nicer design, but the Charge has a gorgeous screen and 4G support, so it's up to you there. Bottom line: Droid 3 for physical keyboard, Charge or X2 otherwise.
- techn_in 15y agoidk.. I can type extremely fast using android SlideIt keyboard, definitely faster than hardware.
- blinkingled 15y agoSeconded - sounds right at the moment, given Bionic is MIA without any updates from Motorola.
- ddagradi 15y agoOn Verizon, the iPhone is always a great choice, especially with new hardware coming out in the near future. Otherwise, figure out what the newest Android is. It changes pretty often. Droids are a solid product line.
- billyvg 15y agoI suggest going to your local Verizon shop and playing with the iPhone and Android phones first and seeing which phone OS you like more. If you decide on going the iPhone route, definitely wait until September-ish until the new batch of iPhones are [rumored] to come out. I don't know too much about Verizon's selection of Android phones, but my friend just got a Samsung Charge, and it felt pretty nice.
