I should look into when the s5 is coming out - even if I still went with the S4 maybe I could get a sweet deal on it! I tried feeling them in the store yesterday but it's so hard to telk when they are attached with that heavy sensor thing - they are all bulky that way! I think I may go with the galaxy though...it seems like a great phone other than the camera! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1514811 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 23:26:28 +0000 DillonLion 1514811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: love my long battery!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1514808 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 23:25:05 +0000 DillonLion 1514808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my LG G2 but i wouldnt recommend it for you because it is one of the biggest phones on the market. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1514711 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 22:02:11 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1514711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I have larger hands so I never find it bulky hut I can see how they might be. Then again, I use my phone primarily for internet, email and texting so I like the bigger display. I would go to a Verizon store and hold the displays to get a feel for them. But yes, otherwise I love this phone! But if you can hold out I know the s5 is coming out later this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1514069 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 13:21:45 +0000 Pirouette 1514069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: that's true - and it seems like all the good phones are bigger these days, so I might just have to adjust. I just walk everywhere and it's hard to use a phone with a big screen...though I try not to text or anything while walking (bad habit!) so I guess it's not the end of the world if I need two hands at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513846 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 10:44:54 +0000 pui 1513846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Sony Xperia Z1 is very nice. DH almost got that phone, but opted for the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the end.</p> <p>I personally love the large screens. (I have a Note 3, which is a very big screen) and since I carry it around in my purse the size doesn't bother me. I also use it one handed all the time with no struggles. The big screen is great for watching videos or showing people pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513833 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 10:36:05 +0000 Pirouette 1513833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: ah thanks! That's really helpful :)</p> <p>@pui: I have the droid RAZR - it is very thin but wide, so hard to type (for me anyway)</p> <p>@Happygal: thats a pretty good endorsement if you got your husband to get one! Also a good point that I'll prob be carrying a diaper bag more often than I used to, so maybe a bigger phone has advantages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513742 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:43:17 +0000 Happygal 1513742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my S4, but I don't have anything else to compare it to! I just convinced my husband to get the same phone as me--we're late to the smart phone world. I think it takes good pictures, too. </p> <p>The only time the S4 feels big is if I've been talking for awhile. My hand gets tired. But I'm not a big phone talker, so it works for me! I also like that it's easy to find in my big purses. </p> <p>I saw that out BestBuy has a Saturday class on the Samsung phones. I might go--you can really personalize the S4 and I feel like it can do so much more than what I give it credit for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513736 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:41:14 +0000 Charm54 1513736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my iPhone but mostly because it's what most of my family/Friends have so it makes iMessage , FaceTime and sharing photos on iCloud photo stream really easy . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513731 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:38:12 +0000 pui 1513731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How big is your current phone / what model is it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513724 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:34:25 +0000 Synchronicity 1513724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an iPhone and switched to a Galaxy S4 a while ago. I like the galaxy more for everything EXCEPT taking pictures. My iPhone definitely took better pictures.</p> <p>ETA: the picture quality is definitely not low enough for me to switch back to iPhone. They still turn out really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513699 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:22:21 +0000 Pirouette 1513699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: do you like the s4 otherwise? Or hate it overall? I totally agree you like what you are used to! </p> <p>@Mrs.Panda: hmm I'll look into that, never heard of it! Do you find the s4 bulky? Other than the camera is it good?</p> <p>I feel look like I'm actually pretty good about using my actual camera for pics, maybe because I'm used to having a crappy camera haha. I just don't know if I'm willing to become an iPhone user just for the camera! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513360 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 23:08:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1513360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started with android and switched to iPhone, and will never go back! Mainly because of pictures. The android phones tout picture clarity, resolution, etc, but who cares if the shutter speed is crap? I think iPhones have the best shutter speed, which is incredibly important when trying to snap pics of the LO's. It also has the most apps!</p> <p>I do think androids have better interface though. It just depends on what your priorities are when it comes to phones. Pictures are everything to me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513358 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 23:05:04 +0000 sunny 1513358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my iPhone 5s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513349 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 22:53:03 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1513349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I love my s4 but I admit the camera is not as clear as it should be. My sister has the LG G2 and not only is the camera absolutely amazing (better than iPhone, she had that before this phone), it is an overall awesome phone with not enough hype. Great battery life, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513022 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 19:03:58 +0000 doodlepoodle 1513022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an android but now have an iPhone, honestly I'm not tech savvy enough to be a good source but I haven't had any issues with my phone as of yet so I guess that's good ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513014 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:58:53 +0000 regberadaisy 1513014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: agreed. I switched because everyone was raving about the s4 picture quality. It's shit compared to iPhone. I can't wait to switch back. </p> <p>I've learned that those who used Android first are very loyal to Android those who used apple first are loyal to Apple. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1513009 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:55:52 +0000 Ash 1513009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the samsung note 3 - loooooove! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1512977 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:33:03 +0000 pl0508 1512977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my iphone ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-phone-should-i-get#post-1512970 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:29:45 +0000 Kimberlybee 1512970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I agree, the iPhone pictures come out very nice!
