Re: What are the pros and cons of your smartphone?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so not an Apple person so I've always had Android phones, and I really like them.

My current one is the HTC DNA, which I got because I loved my previous phone, the HTC Incredible 2.

It's ok, but I am going to be upgrading as soon as my contract ends in a month or two.

My main issue with it is the size. It's quite a bit larger than my last phone (that one I loooooved) and other smartphones in general, and it's just kind of bulkier and heavier than I'd prefer.

Everything else about it is fine, though. There are different versions of the OS (and HTC has something called Sense that non-HTC Android phones don't have, which is basically just a slightly different interface) so on different phones it looks a little different superficially but basically works the same.

I'm leaning towards getting a Samsung Galaxy next time (my dad has the S4 and loves it, so I want to look at the S5 which is just a newer model) but I'm not positive yet. I want to see if there's a newer version of the HTC Incredible out since I loved my Incredible 2 so much, and I'm sure there are probably some other phones coming out in the next couple months so I need to do some research before I decide for sure.

Smartphones in general all do basically the same things, though, and I think are definitely a useful thing to have. I use the internet on my phone constantly when I'm out and need to look something up - anything from having an argument with a friend about which actor was in some movie and wanting to prove them wrong, to being at a store and wanting to buy some product but wondering if it has good reviews or if Amazon has it cheaper, to where the nearest post office or Walgreens or gas station is, to noticing the weather looks kinda sketchy and wondering if there are any warnings, to being on a road trip and wanting to know where the next rest stop is, to being at the grocery and needing to know what specific ingredients I need for some new recipe I want to try, to wondering if my package from UPS has been delivered yet and I should go right home and get it or continue with my errands - and if you're directionally challenged like me the GPS can be very useful. I've got games (I'm addicted to 2048 right now) and my Kindle app and news app and social media apps to entertain myself if I'm somewhere where I have to wait a long time. There are useful apps like the stopwatch, flashlight, compass, calculator, voice recorder, conversion app (currency, measurements, whatever), language translator app, soundhound/shazam, which will tell you the title and artist of a song if you hold the phone up the speaker (which can be really useful if you find yourself liking something on the radio and the DJ doesn't say what it is). I don't, but some people keep their calendar on theirs, and you can have it remind you to go to an appointment or something. There's a notes app that's really useful (I keep my shopping list on mine, and just things in general that I think of and need to remember). The cameras are generally pretty good, and there's a photoshop app to edit your pictures. A lot of websites have app versions (imdb, tumblr, etc.) which can be useful for sites you use a lot. You can also use them as an MP3 player, plus there's also Pandora for music.

Basically it's like having a tiny computer to carry around with you, which can really come in handy.
