This blog is dedicated to my buddy, Akhtar.
I've been resistant to getting a smartphone. My old dumb phone made calls just fine. Matter of fact, when my buddies with IPhones post on Facebook comments like: "THIS IS THE GREATEST PHONE EVAR!"
I would usually call to congratulate them, but they never answered usually because the reception sucks. Not sure about everyone out there, but I purchases a Phone with the intent and purpose of making Phone calls.
However, the wife and I had discussed upgrading to a smart phone. I really didn't want what I consider to be the world's greatest paperweight: the IPhone. It's not that I don't like the phone so much as I really can't stand Apple's attitude. Their wishy-washyness on admitting apps to the Apple store bugs me, I can't stand they tied it to a crappy provider for years. Apple is an innovative company, and they make money (no denying the facts), but when it comes to customer service and business sense I feel they have a long way to go. Their need to control every aspect from hardware to software is just too dictatorial for me (plus, ATT service sucks). IPhone is out.
After much debate neither of use wanted to leave our beloved T-Mobile service. So, my wife and I both upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy phone. It's great. Battery life could be better, I don't doubt, but I believe any phone we get will have the same core problems. The interface is good, all the apps we need are there, and the picture is stunning. Overall, I'm happy with it!
