Alas, it was way past the time to get a new cell phone!
I had been rocking the Motorola Razr for over 6 years. It was nice and tiny and served me well. Never had a problem with it.
But, I can't lug around my iPad to access emails. I needed a new phone.
I purchased the Samusung Galaxy S3 and had it for less than two days. Couldn't stand it. It was a major battery sucker without me doing anything on it. It was like a mini tablet; too big, especially coming over from the Razr. And, there were pre-installed apps that I just couldn't remove.
I returned it to T-Mobile, my cell phone carrier (that is a whole other post!!). I wanted the iPhone 4S because it is a bit bigger than the 5 and cheaper. But for some reason, curiously enough, T-Mobile doesn't offer the 4S in my area. Oh really now? I swear, a post is coming about T-Mobile.
So, I had to get the iPhone 5.

I am glad I switched to the iPhone (not sure about the 5 yet). It is easy to use and already having the iPad, apps and music are easily transfered over. Plus, it is closer to the size of my old Razr. Now, it is only 3 days old and I am headed on a lengthy busy trip so that will show if it and T-Mobile are worth the $629.99 I paid for the dang thing!
What cell phone and carrier do you use?
