[Electronics-Talk] {Spam?} Re: cell phone shopping

[Arlene]

Sandra, Between the t199 and the gusto 3 you really can't do too much with 
going on the internet. In some ways I found it a little easier with the 
gusto to go on the internet, but neither phone would be quite like going on 
the internet with a computer or smart phone. I know there's some phones that 
have  both the touch screen and a keyboard included in the phone. That is 
something I think I might like to try, because there could be times when I'm 
out that I might want to look something up on the internet. I don't remember 
the model of phone that I got to see in one of the stores that had the touch 
screen and keyboard. Now that I think about it I know there was a display on 
the phone as usual but I'm not sure if it was a touch screen. I think it was 
an a t and t phone. It didn't have speech built into it as the t-199 and the 
gusto does, but if these model phones are considered smart phones they may 
be some type of android phone, so there would be speech in the phone. I have 
the modo g as a prepaid, which is an android, but as I said I haven't been 
able to get the knack of it. While I'm happy with the amount of things I 
could do with the 2 phones I have, I was really hoping I could get use to 
the touch screen because it would be great to have some of those special 
apps that come along with the smart phones, such as scanning and going on 
the inter net. That's why I'm thinking I might like to try one of these 
phones that have the keyboard included in the phone. In some ways you may 
not be that impressed with the t199 since it's so very simular to what the 
gusto can do, and also going by what you're looking for in a phone. All you 
can do is try it out.
