As those of you know, I’ve been meaning to get a new phone for about five months now, but with all of these new smart touch screen phones hitting the market, I was confused, dazed, and jaded as to which phone to buy. The trendy and ubiquitous iphone was out for me, as well as the Samsung Omnio, LG Xeon, and the Palm Pre; all of which had akward quirks about their touch screen layouts that just couldn’t keep my interested for more than five minutes.
Of course, I should say that I started my search with providers NOT with the phones themselves. I didn’t want to end up like those who bought the iphone and expected ATnT’s call quality to miraculously improve. Playing it safe, I went with Verizon and after treking through store after store, and one authorized retail after another, I found out why I was having so much trouble picking a phone. I hate touch screen phones.
When I saw the sleek Nokia 725 Intrigue I knew it was the phone for me. It’s surface has touch responsive LED’s that show you the time, charge life of your battery, music controls. and your text messages, but it still isn’t a full color touch screen and it isn’t a necessary component of the phone (which means if it beaks I can still use it). The buttons, even though they’re flat, still have dividers between them so I can close my eyes and still dial a number without looking or having to press and hold some slide bar to use it. Though the phone is small and sleek, it retains a level of maniless (the phone comes in two trims: male and female) giving the cell phone a level of personality that others lack. The call quality and camera quality are superb in the NJ/NY area and the video recorder is decent, but that’s why I have a real video camera. Over all,this is one of the most so lid flip-phones I’ve ever had the chance to own and I plan on enjoying it till it dies (or my contact is up).
