I'm not much of a mobile phone user.
My last phone had its sim card cancelled because I didn't use it for months at a time, so that gives you an idea of where I'm coming from.
I got into Macs last year and really like the system and now have a MBP and a Mac Pro, both of which I love after being a windows person for 12 years.
I was considering getting a new phone and thought that if the phone had some interesting features I might actually use it more, although not necessarily to make phone calls, since I don't really make many calls and rarely have ever sent a text message.
I do travel a bit, around Europe and in the US.
This is what I think would be nice to have:
a touch phone like how the iphone works
unlimited internet
ability to get and send emails
a real/virtual keyboard rather than a number pad with several letters on each
a gps capability for sat nav type location maps
a decent camera
bluetooth to connect to my computers
a pay as you go service for the few phone calls I might make
able to use those features wherever I am in the world
The iphone seems to have all this except for the poor camera, plus the ads say unlimited internet for the first year- but then what happens?
Also, I have noted that some users find it has several glitches in the features that it offers.
The initial cost of the phone is not the main consideration, but I refuse to pay high running costs to get the other features and a contract with lots of minutes and texts is completely useless for me as I might actually make a couple of calls a month and probably no texts.
Is there a phone for me? Or am I delusional?
