I suspect that most of you will probably think I am crazy for saying this, but I may just hold onto this phone for a while. From what I have heard about newer phones out there, (the thought of non-removable batteries bothers me), I just don't know.
I'm a little old fashioned, however, I am receptive to change. But I always keep in mind that these devices all started out essentially as a method to speak to someone, not watch movies, take pictures?, etc. I am thankful for these options, but really, just how much more can they improve? And just how much of a difference will those improvements make to the user experience?
Perhaps a processor that can do a calculation a half a second faster? For instance, I never understood why anyone would want to watch a movie on a 3-4 inch screen. One thing I really do appreciate is the ability to read a book, and have hundreds of them at my fingertips. That is just something I still wonder at every day when I read another chapter.
Long story short, in my limited experience (this is my first android phone), I've seen how the entire contract experience goes, and I can't see shelling out wads of cash for what I see as essentially minor changes. AND I suspect, more costly bloat injected into the device so the carrier can make even MORE money.
I am eternally grateful to those in this forum that helped me so much to understand how my device works, and giving me the chance to tailor it to my wants and needs. (I LOVE being able to delete all of the crap put on my device without my say so. )
SO, three cheers to all the devs out there that are STILL hammering away at making a better experience for those of us out here that still like and want to use our device.
