shadowkatYou helped a great deal on the humidifier problem...so wondering if you can help with the smartphones?
I need to upgrade to a smartphone. Feel like the last person on the planet with an old cell phone. Which can't text. Been trying to do this for about a month now. But each time I walk into T-Mobile or any store for that matter, I'm overwhelmed with options.
No idea which one to pick.
My needs are very simple:
1.texting, (probably will do this more than make actual phone calls - people text don't call now.)
2.phone calls,
3. apps for airlines
4. Personal GPS - navigational aid (tells where closest subways are and how to get around)
5. internet access. Don't need it for music (have ipod touch for that). Won't use it to read - already struggling with small print as it is. Probably will use for Facebook. Not for livejournal. And do not envision watching tv or movies on a tiny screen.
I currently have a T-Mobile Nokia Classic flip-phone that is over three years old. Last one I got was in 2008. So no longer on contract. But changing services could be dicey or difficult. Might be easier to stick with T-Mobile even if their in-store service is horrible.
Can you help? Please see poll below of all the types of phones that I know of:
