What do people think is the best Smartphone and why?

dickos-extreme — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 21:24:29 GMT

I am after a new Smartphone.

There are many options now. So just thought I would ask users here.

I am sure almost everyone here has one, mine is getting old time to upgrade. BIG TIME. 🙂

I am leaning towards the new iPhone 5s. But not 100% convinced.

So all thoughts and ideas welcome.

Wanted to do a poll, but it seems they cant be done now. 😞

I have an iphone 5 and it works just fine, but I can't compare it with any of the others because I've never used them.

I have the iPhone 4S I have read and heard some things about the 5S that are not so good, so do lots of research first. I wont be upgrading to the 5S.
They do give the samsung galaxys a good review.

One of my sons changed from an iPhone to a Galaxy a few months ago. All the iPhone users in the house will soon be upgrading to the Galaxy.

I got my first dumb phone a few months ago. It's the $189 Samsung one. It's ok. But I don't think I like dumb phones at all. I think I still prefer phones with proper buttons. However, I have been using an Ipod when overseas for emails and connecting to the net via free wifi and I absolutely love that. So I would say I would vote for an Apple Iphone.

I don't see the point in paying hundreds for a mobile telephone, you'd never do it with a home telephone - would you?

I changed my mobile earlier this year from an LG to one of the Kogan ones, that'll do me.

I run my business from my phone when I'm out and about driving busses or whatever. It is invaluable for communicating with customers, sending invoices, and any other admin chore that I would normally do when at home on my computer. It has become an integral part of running my on-line sales. I'm just sorry I can't afford a tablet or ipad as well (the bigger screen would make it a bit easier).

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2.

I'll be getting a S4 when the contract runs out in a couple of months.

Galaxy s3 here. No complaints. My daughter has just upgraded from the s2 to the s4 and loves it. Takes better photos than my camera.

We don't have a landline phone anymore so a good mobile is essential.....and works out far cheaper than a landline

Everything you buy for an iphone will be tide to Apple products...

Everything you buy for the Galaxy phone can be used on any other android phone.

I like freedom of the products I buy...

There is a person that tried to put in his will that all his thousands and thousands of iphone music store purchases went to his daughter when he died.. that was found to be impossible as everything you buy is non transferable and the purchases are lots.

There are programs you can use to convert them I believe but do you really want that extra hassle?

that is one reason I like the android choice but to me they are much more versatile and user friendly.

I have just gotten the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and I love it!. It has the same features as the other Samsungs but it's smaller. Best phone I have had.
