Looking for some input on what model smartphone to get as well as the service.
Presently I have an iPhone 4s and my AT&T agreement has now run the full two years. As a result, I will owe nothing to AT&T if I pick a smartphone and go with Verizon or some other service. In regard to my feelings about the iPhone, well, it's the most reliable and useful electronic device I have ever owned. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it and it works flawlessly. My only issue is the size of the screen when web browsing.
I use my iPhone 4s to sync with my work e-mail, private e-mail and as a phone although I rarely ever use it to make calls. My total minutes last month was something like 120. I will occasionally browse Ebay or some other website but not that often, mainly due to screen size.
I guess it would be better to describe what I want: I want a larger screen so that I can see websites better. The newest Samsung has a screen that is significantly larger than that of the iPhone 4s. Also, I've been told Verizon has better coverage in my area.
Here's another possibility: Get an iPhone Mini and simply get the 3g or 4g service with it (when it's available) and then simply get a cheap pre-paid cell phone for those few times when I make or receive calls. To me this appears to be a perfect solution. This way I can browse the web much easier than before, continue to get my synced e-mail and play games and watch movies as well.
Thoughts?
