What smart phone do you have?

I don't know any elderly person that has a phone in every room in their house. We must be more frugal here in the midwest. LOL.

Or have bigger/more rooms!

At 67 I suppose I have to be considered "elderly". I still have a land line, but only because I have to have it for the Rescue Alert system that I have. I don't have a phone in every room - I have a phone in my bedroom as I have always had, and the main one with the answering machine and the alert monitor is in the kitchen. No large buttons!!! I have my cell, but never think to take it with me when I just go outside in the yard, but my panic button for the alert system is always with me and has a 600' range. When I fell on the ice at the end of my driveway and fractured my hip, I didn't have this system, and if someone hadn't seen me laying there in the freezing rain, I would have been there till the family got home from work. I don't trust my cell in an emergency out here in the semi-boonies. Sometimes reception is good, other times, not.

I have the Droid, and LOVE it. I hated my crackberry. I have Verizon, and get near perfect reception, rarely drop a call (unless it is because of the touch screen being touched by my fat face), and can't believe how much simpler life is with a 'smart' phone. Makes me smarter, I swear. I have my calendar on it, it links through google, so it is backed up daily. I like conveniences, like microwaves, toaster ovens, coffee makers, pre-set radio station buttons, a/c, etc. Could I live without them? Sure, but why would I want to?

Pom- you aren't elderly. You are elderly/NR. If you ever look at the real estate ads, you should get that one quickly. LOL.

I don't look at real estates ads, but let me guess; elderly/No Rugrats??

And my son loves his Droid too. I can't believe all that it can do. Too much for me..........

Been playing with my droid 3 for a few days now.

LOVE IT!

I have a Nokia E71. It's a good phone, with great to excellent battery life depending on what I'm using it for. I found a good balance with it - I like the keyboard; It's excellent for texting and such, but I simply just don't enjoy watching huge HD videos or writing blog posts or other such things that more featured smartphones are used for, on a smartphone. If I need to do any of that, I'll just tether my laptop to my phone and use the laptop via the phone's 3G connection.

I'm a fan of Android (mostly because of the Linux-based aspect and the fact that it's not like a preschool toy (iPhone)), and if I had the money to spare I would buy a phone that's loaded with it, but I'm happy with my setup as it is.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I ended up going w Android. The HTC Thunderbolt. I heard battery life is very poor due to the 4G but I can just charge it in my car while I'm in classes. Love it so far! I'm actually on it to right now!
