Default Thank god for Palm phones!

I got my Palm Centro wet 2 days ago and it died. I was smart enough to Hotsync it which is there software you use to save info and upload files and documents. So I did this the day before it died. All I had to do was grab a used one off craigslist and I just hot synced it and I am back in business. So $70 I have a newer phone then my old one that works, hell yeah!!

They are supposed to be awesome, however I will not spend that much money on a phone ever. I break phones way to much to ever want to get a really nice one. This is the nicest phone I have ever had and I got it for xmas lol.

3GS owns all, I don't see how I could ever go back to any other phone.

I played with one in the Apple store the other day and I must admit, they're pretty nifty. It definitely beats my Sony Ericsson, that's for damn sure. Haha. Just wish I could afford the mandatory media plan. Hell if they added the picture and video abilities to the iTouch I'd be in love. Was never a huge fan of the actual phone part of those.

3GS is the same as all the other iPhones except it now has video finally and copy and paste which should have been on the first one. iPhone is cool and all but doesn't really do much more than other phones.

I honestly don't mean to bash or anything, but that's exactly what I used to think until I got one. You wouldn't believe how much you use it for more than something than texting or making a phone call. I used to take ***** in like 5-10 minutes, now it takes me about 30-45 minutes because I get caught up on something while playing my Iphone. Browsing the FULL internet, playing games, watching youtube videos, browsing facebook or FML.com, or watching movies (maybe **** sometimes ). In all seriousness, just buy one and your mind will drastically change.

My phone has wifi, full internet, 5mp camera with video, facebook, youtube, has 16gigs of memory, check my emails, make up an excel spreadsheet, type up a word doc., play games, google maps, windows live, etc. Oh and my service is more reliable.

What else you got for me?

Sounds pretty advanced, but it probably doesn't have a web browser and the largest application market for mobile phones.

Actually I have 2 web browsers. Tell me though honestly, out of all those thousands of apps, how many do you really use on a day to day basis and how many are actually useful? Don't get me wrong, if I had AT&T I'd probably have one since I use my phone on a day to day basis for music and everything, but it's not the greatest phone known to man. It does some things better than others and other things it doesn't.

I use it quite a bit on a daily basis. by the time I get home from work I've usually used 60-75% of the battery. I use Pandora radio almost everyday, I listen to a lot of rap and it's badass because it has a ton of the underground stuff I listen to on it which is surprising. I have about 6 games I play every day and just downloaded a couple more last night. There's a ton of things that come in handy too, like Flixster, it has all the surrounding movie theaters with addresses, phone numbers, directions on how to get there plus all movie times and you can select a movie and it will instantly load trailers reviews about it.
