We are on upgrade time for our phones. We are on Verizon and have had no problems in the last 2 years. Been running the infamous Motorola Droid, yea the original. Still running great and not going to change plans b/c we have unlimited data plan, which anywhere is all gone now. 😛
Anyways, what are you running now as your pocket rocket?

Offline I've got an iPhone and couldn't be happier. My buddy has an iPhone and plans to go droid when his plan is up. He says his iPhone is faulty. I haven't had any problems.
Um...what?

I have a Pantech Breakout. It's adequate at best and I'd look elsewhere if I bought a new phone, but it is 4G so it is pretty quick when I have coverage. Battery life is pathetic unless I don't use the phone then it's only below average. 😀 I also have a bunch of dust under the screen since I "keep it in a dirty environment" (my pocket).

I run an HTC Evo and it is amazing! Bigger screen than IPhone, faster, checks two email accounts, easy to web surf, check stocks, check the forum, etc.. Takes great pictures the video is pretty good too. Has an 8 gig sd card which I have tons of songs etc on. The really nice thing is you got options for content. I purchase primarily through Amazon MP3 cause I can transfer to my plc and burn to disc ( if people still do that) but primarily for less licensing restrictions. Works great with office files I open and edit on the fly, can be hotspot has 4G. I've had it almost two years now and can't imagine a better phone. I heard they have a new 3d version on the EPIC. That's just insane.

Offline I have an iphone but could get along just fine with a couple of tin cans and a string. I seriously don't use my phone to its potential. Mostly just use it for phone calls and email, but I do have a couple of fun games on it.

I didn't vote because I really don't feel strongly one way or the other.

Oh no...another reason for John not to like tapatalk. 😀 Pretty soon I'm going to owe him more than the App cost for pain and suffering.

Its a poll to say what your mobile is. So you'd pick Other.
Thanks buddy!

Correct. That is a negative with this inexpensive mobile app. However, Tapatalk is looking to provide support for it, just no timeframe stated.
Short term workaround is to hit the button "View in Browser". Course you'd only know this if the original post clearly stated that the thread included a Poll.

I read the question wrong I assumed you wanted a recommendation on what to buy. Mine is an Android system so I voted Android.

You only need to get $1.50 out of it. I told you I'd split it.

I had never heard of a Pantech Breakout. Thanks for the submission.
On the note of 4G, it's been my impression that 4G is not widely available. Like only in big metro areas. Does Sac and surrounding really have 4G...? I've heard comments that "advertising" has been chaulking it up to: "4G" but it really means "4G capable when in an area that supports it".

My son loves his iPhone 4S. He's had to return it due to speaker problems, but they gave him a new one on the spot.
I love my Droid, and the multitude of free apps, but I've had to take mine back for replacment as well. I think smartphones are extremely conveient, but have a long way to go in regards to reliability. Now I know why IT guys are always afraid of Software updates....

Offline I have a really nerdy friend that was explaining to me that 4G does not really exist and that it is more of a sales pitch for a faster 3G. I can have him post on here to explain it. I just find it funny that companies will tell us that our phones are 4G when 4G hasn't really been tangible yet.
Um...what?

Captain Kirk and that communicator he filps open............
I just never really moved past that yet. Long live the flip phone.( someday they will be collector items just like ford pintos. )

Yeah, it's basically the same technology but the operating speeds have been increased for 4G vs. 3G. Now, how fast at any given location can vary greatly and some cities have it and some don't.
If your familiar with Wi-Fi specifications, the operating parameters are the same for 802.11a, b, g and n BUT operating frequency and speed are way different as are operating characteristics.

4g is real. Careful what you hear. Trust but verify. Companies are spending billions to upgrade networks. This requires new cellsite hardware and backhaul. You need a 4g phone and need to use it in a service area that has been built out. Tell your friend to check his position with a licensed electrical engineer.
