In October, I get a new phone through the "new every two" system with Verizon Wireless. I currently have one of the most basic phones that was available two years ago and I hate it. It's too basic, but it was free at the time and I thought I could make do without some of the snazzier elements. I was wrong.
I can't even take videos with my phone!!!!
So I've been checking out other people's phones whenever we go out, checking out my options. And there are a lot of options. Most of the cooler new phones seem to focus on mobile Internet access and applications, like the iPhone. But I don't want Internet access on my phone. I'm not paying extra for it when I have a laptop and computers at work and home and at any local library. I don't see the point and I love the Internet. I'm addicted to it. But I don't want to carry it around in my pocket.
Several of my friends think I'm absolutely nuts for refusing to jump on this bandwagon, yet the same people hardly ever use it themselves. It's just that they expect it and I want to know when that happened? Was it when Blackberrys really took off? Or the ads for all of the smart phones in general? When did it become socially unacceptable to not want to use a web browser on a screen smaller than my palm?
At any rate, I will not be getting a smart phone and certainly will not be paying extra to browse. But here are some phones I might be getting:
Motorola Rapture VU30
LG enV 2
LG Chocolate 3
