I went windowshopping smart phones today. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is totally gorgeous. It is big. And, it is plastic. I could rationalize big. After all, my eye sight isn’t what it once was… so, bigger might be better. Can not rationalize plastic however. And, the Android OS has that lovely feature of switching calls to wifi when there is no cell signal.
The iPhone 5 is totally Apple. But, new “improved” iPhone is just around the corner.
A cheaper solution would be the totally Google Nexus 4. Downside here is no LTE.
While at the T-Mobile store I noticed that one of the iPhone’s had SpeedTest loaded. It was about 3 times faster than my Verizon Snail Internet Service.
I am not moving from T-Mobile. They have been my cheap cell carrier of choice for years. I am sure not sending more business Verizon’s way.
If you went the Android route, you could root the phone and tether over 4G for free. BUT tethering eats batteries fast, so you’d want to keep the phone on AC while tethering.
