Re: is it time for me to get a smart phone. which one ?
Just got samsung galaxy S4. Had a 5 year old blackberry before. Miss the hard keyboard. Too many apps. No idea what to do with them. Only maps is useful. Can synchronous work and personal email. That is really time saving. No entering username psswrd etc.
Phone too large. Fits in pocket. But you feel its unwelcome presence.
Re: is it time for me to get a smart phone. which one ?
Nexus 4 is the best option if you dont require more than 16 GB of storage as there is no SD card slot, if you want more storage, get Samsung Galaxy S4
Southi Ji, Welcome to the Android club, Yes the phone is large but not too large, its good for media consumption, like watching Youtube video, reading emails, playing games etc.
S4 has a built in IR Blaster, configure the WatchON application and forget about all your TV/Set Top Box/DVD Player remote controls. And also its one of the first smartphones to ship with a real thermometer, you can monitor the real temperature with that. (yeah i sounds like a Samsung fanboy but actually i hate samsungs's plastic phones, i much prefer the HTC ones's aluminium build or the Sony Xperia's poly carbonate waterproof build, but the lack of SD card on HTC one and the not so great display of Sony Xperia Z left me with only choice as S4)
Re: is it time for me to get a smart phone. which one ?
Thanks Rayan! Had not heard of the IR blaster, Watch On Application etc. Had no idea abt thermometer. My nephew makes fun saying this is wasted on me.
Will try to learn these apps.
Also, the battery drains fast. With old phone ( no email only texting) it lasted forever.
