Getting a Pro Phone

So many choices out there now hun?

Just to name some:

G1, The Droid, Iphone, Nuxus One, Windows Phones, Palm, Blackberries, Flip phones and brick phones.

But your going to get a new one soon.... so what to pick?

The first thing you are going to have to decided if you are already tied down to a carrier or not. Most new phones require a two year contract. In my case my contract is up so I am free to choose whom ever I like.

I am in Boise so that comes down to AT&T, Verizon or Tmobile.. I really don't count cricket but they are out their too. Most of the time phones between Tmobile and AT&T can be used on both. I had AT&T with no complaints but I am picking who ever has the best phone

Second you will want to think about what your phone is going to do for you. Back in the day there was flip phones and... that was pretty much it made calls send text maybe a picture? But now we can get online, use maps, maybe an app store? So what do you need. Just a phone? Calls text, Do you want picture or video? These are the things that you need to consider.

Right in to it then.

The iPhone: Though many devices came before it sporting MP3 and maps, other smart phone characteristics. This we all know is the phone that really started the movement. There are a few flavors of this phone but it really comes down to the 3G or 3GS. Both have an app store with more then 10,000 apps for anything you could need. Syncs with iTunes for all you who already have an iPod or a Mac. Touch screen and very very easy to use. You can not go wrong with this phone, only one slight catch, AT&T. If you don't have them or don't like them you might skip over this one.

Android Phones: Just a little over a year ago Google and a bunch of others got together and released a smart phone operating system that would be for everyone. Thats right even you are an owner of this system and may do what you please with it (GPL, BSD ). All the phones I have seen such as the myTouch, Droid or Nexus all have touch screens a similar interfaces that are easy to use.  Also with just a little smaller app store then Apple you will get almost all the same apps you know and love. Also your phones information is backed up on the web; integrating all the things you use Google for. These phones  are on AT&T, Verison, and Tmobile.

Those above are my true recommendations for a phone but just so I am not leaving out the other choices there is also:

Blackberries: Come in a few shapes and sizes and sport a small app store that should grow in the future

WebOS (Palm) phones: A clean touch screen interface with the first to do multi tasking apps.

Windows Mobile: Have been out there for a long time and trying to take back some spot light with newer versions and applications.

Go ahead leave comments for what you think or anything you would like to add that I left out.
