Re: Love at first sight...then

Not sure what caught our eye when purchasing a new (our first) smart phone, but we've opted for the LG Rebel which is the same size and shape as your phone and prob because it was something we could afford. Even with all the added calling, text & data cards.. we don't use the smarty like other folks. However this could change based on our travels. Images and video would be a must.

Yet having a small pocket camera I felt limited because the camera was more of a hindrance but I still use the camera for close ups and large format stills. I'm hoping our LG will preform nicely while on our trips.

However, in my opinion, and if you have small or have a hard time grasping these smaller/thinner smart phones, I would opt for a case & cover set like I did. The Oeago case/cover is very rugged and can be positioned in a numbers of stances or settings.

Although I'm not into the GPS settings and actually removed them from my smarty, My wife has her still installed and she wants more. But we still use the good old fashion paper road map. I think it's good to have GPS on a device, just not a smart phone cause to me the screen is too small to actually see all that needs to be seen. Opt for a larger tablet for GPS devices next time.
