Paul has an iPhone, it's perfectly fine. We don't use our cell phones a lot, but his always works when he needs it!

I actually heard on the news the other day that they are now making it so that when you call 911 they will be able to tell where you are on a cell phone. Just a kind of GPS system I guess.

Alyssa,

My boyfriend has an Evo also and my brother just got the Evo 3D. I like it from what I've used of them.
Battery life unfortunately is the let down of any touch screen now a days. I'm sure they'll eventually make a new technology so that they last longer.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll let you know what I decide!

Sure wish they would tell me exactly what day the IPhone 5 comes out though.... I would hate to buy the 4th one because I know the 5 comes out in September sometime! I'll bet they'll be on back order though.

I'm thinking about the Incredible 2, Droid 3, and Thunderbolt right now.

You could pre-order an iphone 5, couldn't you?

You are right. Many smartphones have Enhanced 9-1-1 enabled automatically. It's on my droid and it's a feature that can't be shut off.
