Thread: Who has a smartphone?

I'm at a crossroad. Hubby is wanting me to get a smartphone (he hauls cars, so he is afraid he will break one if he has it). I just can't decide. I guess the big hold back is that I will have to get the data package, which is $30/month extra. I have a laptop with wireless, so why do I need a smartphone? I have seen several instances over the past month where a smartphone would be handy, but I keep thinking of the $30 a month.

Who here has one and do you like it? Is it worth the extra? BTW, I'm with Verizon.

How much is your normal bill every month? I have a blackberry through boost mobile. It costs 60. a month and I love it. My daughter just bought the newest smart phone that verizon makes. Very expensive phone and very expensive plan.... and she hates the phone. I can find out what it is for you if you want to know. Check on the droid for verizon. I think there is a blackberry for verizon also.

I was looking at the Droid and that will probably be what I get if I get one. My bill now is about $120/month for 3 phones. The data package would actually be $23/month for me because I get a 19% discount for being a teacher in Tennessee.

My husband has a blackberry through Sprint (his work pays for unlimited everything!)
He loves it

I have a Loft... I think it is smarter than me.
I have unlimted text and data, with 1200 minutes for $45

Bless you women/and men who can operate these things. I have a phone my daughter gave me, she pays the bill. I think it is an iphone, not sure. It has apps on it and has an apple on the back. It has a fantastic camera in it and the angry bird game. Some of the stuff I can use and some of it I can not because I don't know how. I wish I knew how to do more with it. The little book with it did not explain how to do everything, at least not so I can use it. I know I didn't help much. I love this phone just wish I was smarter.

That is not a bad price if everything is included.

I have an iPhone...is that considered a smart phone? LOL
I would be LOST without it. Although I could really do without the $$$$$$!

OMG! I just got a Smart Phone - The LG Optimus Android.
I can't believe this phone! Its definitely smarter than me!!
There are a trillion free apps to download.
I am truly amazed! Now I know what you guys are tallking about when you say you can't live without yours!
I'm still using Virgin Mobile - $25 a month (+tax) for unlimited web, text & 300 anytime minutes. I never use all the minutes as I rarely, if ever talk on the phone.
