Smartphone Advice

[Twilight Prince]

G'day, dear friends. ;D

I'm planning on getting a smartphone soon. However, I'm not sure which I should get.

I would LOVE to get an iPhone (it has everything I want), but I just can't pay AT&T's ridiculous monthly data plan prices.

I'd like to get one that works with Verizon, which my family uses.

The most important things I'm looking for in a phone are:

-Good Screen Size
-Good Speed
-Good Audio AND Video Quality

Not-quite-so-important things are:

-Good Selection of Games
-Not-Too-Expensive (Monthly) Price for Internet Service

I understand that "good" isn't very specific, but any opinions you have would be very much appreciated. Like, if you've tried out any recent smartphones that you were satisfied (or unsatisfied) with.

Thanks!

I'm not sure, but I think Verizon's data plans are about the same.
Since you want something like an iPhone, you could get a phone that runs Android instead. There are several of them that Verizon has, like the Droid and several HTC phones. Just because the phones run the same OS doesn't mean they're all alike, though. If you find a phone you like that uses Android, do some research to see if the phone is very limited or crashes a lot - anything like that.
That's the best advice I can give you... Not very helpful, but I hope it helps anyway.

Thanks, Rafa. Yeah, I've been really considering the droid. You're probably right about the data plans. I guess I really just want a cheap talk plan, because I don't use my phone for talking very much.
