Phone with android

[jessicasiny]

hello everyone
my old phone fell to the ground and broke.
I'm thinking of buying a new one and wanted to andoid 2.3.
what do you think of this: http/www.androidphoneretail.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=6742
I think it has everything you need in a cellphone.
what is your opinion? thank you!

cant view the link here but any android phone will technically work but its best to stay with the popular models if you want to see more updates, custom roms, and support.

android 4.0 is out on some devices which is somethin to think about as well.

a dualcore phone might be a good pick as well but it likely will draw battery more than an older single core version. in general though smartphones will drain the battery pretty fast so you might want an extended battery.

If you want Andorid, I would go for an HTC phone, they are brilliant!

Thanks for your advice. But android 4.0 seems less stable.

its brand new. of course it is going to be less stable than 2.3. it is however going to have options that 2.3 doesnt have.

perhaps get a device with 2.3 on it now.....that will get support for 4.0 later

The phone you linked to reminds me of a Blackberry.

Personally, I don't like the phone because of the small screen size. I tend to read books, surf the net, and post responses here at THG with my original Motorola Droid which has a 3.5" or 3.7" screen. Screen size is a personal choice so if you feel that the screen is big enough for what you want to do then that's fine.

I prefer smartphones with keyboards, so it I continue to stick with Verizon, then I would probably get the Motorola Droid 3 even though it uses the 3G network instead of the newer and faster LTE network.

In case you don't know LTE stands for "Long Term Evolution" which is essentially 4G.
