    What smart phone do you have?

    Soo.... I'm getting my first smart phone next weekend. (I know, behind the times) I'm just wondering what phones some of you have, what you like about them or don't, etc. Learning things on cell phones comes easy to me, so I don't care about how complicated it is or not.

    My main thing is I can't decide between an Iphone or going with an android. I REALLY love the HTC Evo but I have Verizon Wireless.

    My bro and boyfriend, both tech guys, tell me opposite. My boyfriend says go with the IPhone and my brother says go with an Android.

    I know its just a phone, but I use mine a lot and don't replace them every year, so I want something I'm happy with.

    I just got my first smartphone too .

    I have the LG Optimus V from Virgin Mobile.

    Androids are great, some support Adobe flash, while an iPhone does not. If you think you're going to need flash support, I'd consider the iPhone.

    The only thing that I don't like about my phone is the crappy battery life, but I believe that's to be expected with all smartphones, even the iPhone.

    I think you'd be happy with either. I don't really find much difference in iPhone versus Android. I think it's mostly a personal preference whether you want an apple operating system or a google powered operating system.

    Good luck and let us know what you choose!

    I just got my first smartphone, too! This weekend, in fact.

    I got the Droid 3. I ordered it from Verizon online, should have it in a couple of days. I have heard good things, aside from the battery life issue. But I hear that about all of them. I went with the Droid 3 because I really like having a little keyboard to do my texting on. I'm old, and like being able to type on a keyboard instead of the screen.

    I was actually thinking about this phone too. I too think I would miss having an actual keyboard to type on. Let me know how you like it!

    I have an HTC Evo. It's not a bad phone by any means, but the BATTERY LIFE is enough to annoy the crap out of me. That is one thing I can say I absolutely HATE about this phone. It didn't seem that bad at first, but now that I have no time to do anything on the actual computer, alot of my FB updating/tweets/etc are on my phone, the battery life of the stock battery was really sucking. I bought a $7 extended battery off Amazon and it has significantly helped but it isn't the greatest. The Android Market is absolutely fantastic though, it has a much better free app market then Apple does. Another thing I don't like about my Evo is that they charge you $10 a month for 4G and I never even use the freakin' 4G feature because it is barely available in my area, and not available in many others. I suppose that's just Sprint's doing though.

    I've had the phone for a year almost, and I haven't had any major issues with it. It has a mind of its own like most phones of mine tend to have But overall, I like it. Sprint is finally getting the Iphone in October and I'm thinking of switching to that as I am can buy a new one at a discounted price come October 1st. If I do, I have my EVO as a back up in case anything happens to it.

    Good luck in your Smartphone search, there are ALOT of options out there!

    I have an iPhone, and had a roommate with an Android. He switched over to iPhone, because he hated the Android. I like my phone. I'm not particular at all, though.

    I have a land line.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I have the HTC Incredible through Verizon Wireless. I was thinking about waiting till they had the IPhone, but the Android had me hooked when I played with it in the store. I love it!
