What Is Best Feature Phone with Texting

I love my Droid, but am starting to think I am wasting too much money for the benefit of web access. It's fun and neat to have, but I don't need it. I just cancelled my Netflix account and premium cable movie channels and am thinking about ditching my Droid. What is the best feature phone with qwert texting capability?

Kind of like asking who the best team/player in baseball or basketball or hockey or Nascar or Opera is. My family uses the following phones all with no major problems. Samsung Intensity II, Pantech Jest, LG Octane, LG Cosmos, KIN TWOm and Samsung Zeal. All with QWERTY Keyboards. Most are high volume(1,000's) texters.

  • What is the "best" feature phone to upgrade?

    I am due for my upgrade on my current phone (which I love most of the time) my LG EnV 3 which I have had for 2+ years. Upon learning that Verizon discontinued the EnV series I was really upset, especially since the only good phones left are smartphones. I am about to start my senior year at college and neither my parents nor I can afford a smartphone for this last year of my school. After school, if I get a consitant job I am planning on upgrading to an iPhone regardless of the >$800 I will have to shell out.
    So my question is, for the next year or so (two years tops) should I buy the LG Cosmos or the LG Cosmos Touch? I really want a touch screen, but is it worth $50? Is the Cosmos even any good? I know the camera is awful, the keyboard is small, and no video capabilities? Also, does the Cosmos (not touch) let me use mp3 files as ringtones? I know the LG Octane is good, but I don't have $100 and it's probably not worth that much money. Or should I get the  Samsung SCH-u370, which is also $50 although I cannot find it on the Verizon website, but the bestbuy website.
    Or should I just wait until Verizon comes out with new feature phones? The only probablem with my current phone is that it randomly turns off all the time consistantly, which is really annoying but has never been a major problem. Is Verizon even ever going to update it's feature phones? Or are poor college students going to have to resort to crappy phones or crappy service (not Verizon?).
    Thanks in advance!

    Don't get a new phone until they offer better phones. I have the ENV3 and refuse to "downgrade" to a junk phone. There are no feature phones even close to the ENV3 though Verizon would like to say that the Octane is but from what I read and people I talk to the echo makes it not worth even getting stuck with for 2 years.
    I just bought a new battery from ebay and will continue to just keep this phone or if I have to buy another phone from ebay before I get one of their stinking phones.

    I too am a longtime Verizon customer and was like you for years and years. I thought Verizon was tops until they have stopped caring for those of us who do not want nor can afford smart phones.  They have shown what they think of us who just want a good phone with the same features we had 2 years ago without a data plan. Now they want us to think that all that is out there is stinking junk phones when they offered better phones just in the recent past. Why do they think we are stupid?  Its all about the almighty dollar and not the customers.

  • Nokia "feature phone" with huge phone book

    I need to buy a simple to use phone, something like the 515 for my mom.
    The thing is that she needs a huge phone book with say 5000 entries or something.
    Anyone got an idea about a phone?
    She absolutely doesn't want a smart phone.
    She currently uses a 3109 phone (3110 without a camera)

    When it comes to data plans, there are differences. Where I am at, you don't need to have one or get one to use a smart phone.
    But it might apply to this user...
    There are entry level smart phones with touch screens that are easy to use as anything else. Look at it this way: In stead of needing to navigate around with buttons moving a cursor on the screen further up above, you just push on what you want to do. How difficult can it be?
    And even though we are talking entry level and dirt cheap, you will still have both warranty and support... Might think it's not needed, but can still be good to have if one cannot stand by waiting to help out all the time.
    I even got my old dad to use a 4" touch screen smart phone. He does not have a dataplan. He has bad eyes, and thought he would rather be dead before he would learn how to use one. Well, he's not dead (knock wood) and uses his smartphone!

  • Whats the best mobile phone for syncing to macbook?

    I am about to buy a mobile phone and i want to know which one is the best, for ease of connection?

    Personally, I would recommend any of the later Sony Ericsson models. Either the K800 or K610 (supported in iSync 2.4), or any of the additional models supported by iSync Phone Plugins from here.
    You can see what data is synced on the page linked above. You can also use them with the Mac Address Book for SMS and Calls.

  • What is best format for simple text animation in iWeb?

    I want to use a simple text animation "movie" in my site using iWeb.  I don't want the controller visible -- and I want the animation to play automatically.  I went to Inspector and checked for it to start automatically, but no effect.  I still have to manually click on it.  The mov file plays fine, but not automatically. 
    Second question:  is mov the best file format for what I'm tryin to do?  I admit to getting lost with all these formats/codecs.
    Thanks.

    Its not so much the movie format that matters as the way in which you decide to play it on your page.
    Dragging a movie file onto the iWeb page requires that the visitor has the QuickTime plugin - which a lot of people don't. Flash is not the answer anymore due the fact that iOS devices don't support it unless you provide fallback to HTML5.
    Here are some alternatives...

  • Best Sprint Phone with Isync?

    The Treo is too much for my wife. She wants a Sprint phone that syncs reliably and easily with iCal and Address Book. Can anyone recommend a phone to us?
    Thanks.

    Here's the official list of iSync supported devices:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    and third-party supported devices:
    http://mobile.feisar.com/phoneplugins23.html
    http://www.novamedia.de/sync/index.html
    you'd have to cross reference these lists with the list of Sprint phones available in your area from here:
    http://www1.sprintpcs.com/explore/PhonesAccessories/AllPhones.jsp
    At first glance, your choice appears to be limited, if not non-existent.
    Sprint don't seem to offer any Sony Ericsson handsets, and just one each of Nokia and Motorla. All these manufacturers are the best supported in iSync.
    Can you consider a different network provider?

  • What is best to use with windows vista 64 bit videos lag on you tube?

    Video on you tube take keeps on reloading!

    Previously, with separate 32-bit and 64-bit installers, you could run the 64-bit installer on Vista, and it would work correctly.  However, it was not officially supported by Adobe.
    Now with the 11.3 combined installers, I do not know what it installs on Vista.  I do not have Vista available, so I cannot test it.  Can you tell me what files you have in
    C:\Windows\system32\macromed\flash ?
    C:\Windows\syswow64\macromed\flash ?

  • I needed a 2tb hard drive for my new iMac whats the best to work with time machine for around £100

    Any suggestions about the best 2 tb hard drive to work with my imac,compatible with time machine for around £100

    There is no such thing as "best" and "inexpensive", you either want one or the other but you cannot get both. IMHO I'd recommend OWC's Mercury Elite Pro (www.macsales.com) however because  you are on the other side of the pond you may want to consider a Lacie product. High quality, not cheap but good stuff for the most part.

  • What carrier is my phone with?

    I recently purchased an iphone4 off of kijiji and do not have a sim card for it yet how do I know what carrier (Rogers, Telus, etc.) it is with?
    The guy I bought it from says he could not tell me.

    The guy you bought it from had no idea who the carrier was? You entered into a financial transaction with this guy?  He never used it or paid a bill to some carrier?  So where did he get it from?
    Good grief.

  • What is best to learn with mm.

    Hi
    I am sap mm certified consultant. If i get opportunity to learn pp or wm. What should i choose ?   What will increase my market value in the long run?
    I have worked as production planner in past.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    First go for WM which is desirable iand a natural progression to a MM consultant. WM will take less time to learn as compared to PP. Over the course of time keep learning PP. PP & MM is highly saleable skill. Aim for both with first prioritising WM and then PP. In future be open to QM also. MM/WM with PP/QM will complete the whole set. You cant carry your next 10 years SAP consultancy with MM/WM only. You are expected to bring more value on table with time.

  • What is best to do with I-tunes????

    I think I am going to get the New 30GB I pod with color display, but I wont get it for a few months...i have been getting ready to get it by down loading and labeling all my songs onto a play list in windows media player because I want to have it all ready to down load when I get my ipod. Is it possible to take it another step and down load the latest I-tunes and transfer them all into it so when I actually get it the will all just automaticaly transfer in when i plug it in the USB port?????
    Any advise will help thanks...
    PS. i also want to get the best i-tunes for my ipod...one that is compatable to do pictures and the whole works

    Yes John, you can do that. I used iTunes well before I got my iPod and found it to be very useful. You can also browse Podcasts (and listen to them of course if you have net connection) as well as listen to radio streams (dito..). Once you get your iPod, you can then choose whether to transfer your songs from your computer into your iPoid either automatically or manually (manually, by dragging them in whatever folder called Playlists that you've created).
    There is a PC version of iTunes and a Mac version as well. But there is only one kind of iTunes. In other words, if you have a PC, then there is only one version of iTunes available to you (no iTunes "Lite" or whatever...). And the current version is compatible with videos, music and "the whole works" as you put it. If someone does not have the new iPod (called iPod 5G - for Fifth Generation - or video iPod) then one would just not use the video part of iTunes, that's all. Everything else functions as per normal otherwise.

  • What would keep a file with text in templates from updating all the site pages using that template?

    I am using the trial version of DW and I have a file in Templates with a defined banner with moving text in it. I have subsequent pages for the entire site and the template file is part of each of those. when I want change some part of the file in template and then I save, each page is also changed. Or at least it did. I tried Windows and Apple with the same result. I am at a loss. I tried modify but that did not work either. I am missing something obvious.

    Did you check the code in your template.dwt file for errors?

    Did you save over or rename your original Template.dwt file?
    Did you move your Template.dwt file from it's Templates folder?

  • Importing - Exporting Tables, What is best to do with the following;

    This is purely down to my general interest, I can do both but just wondered which is best to do?
    Export a table / import table / drop table
    Export table (truncated)/ import table
    Any adverse effects?
    To Truncate or not Truncate?
    Any advice or comments gratefully received.

    Hi,
    If your table is going to be the same, you may go for the TRUNCATE approach.
    Pros: all blocks assigned to the segment/table are not released (DROP releases space)
    that will free the DB of that activity when loading data.
    Cons: importing data reorganizes data, usually defragmenting space allocated...therefore you may get some empty extents (that may be used later), this is not preciselly a minus if your table is going to grow: you'll have space preallocated.
    Regards

  • Need to turn off wifi at night. What is best way? With software?

    We need to turn off wifi in house during the nights. We have an AirPort Extreme. Is there a way to schedule this or is the only way to manually turn on and off again ( AirPort Extreme is in basement)

    Have you tried turning it off using the icon in the menu bar (on the right):
    I have it off on my iMac since it is tethered to the modem/router via cable.
