38. any android phone running 4.0 or 4.1 will do you fine

If you were an apple person you would not even be asking.


As was stated in a previous post, that is the operating system. If you just need some basics anything running 4.0 or higher will be more than you need.


When comparing phones, do it like a laptop computer. Processor, memory and battery life. Also they vary in size so if you want a larger screen go that way. If you want a smaller phone that is easier to carry around then go that way. There is a trade off no matter which way you go.

Personally I buy LG brand phones. They are made in South Korea, unlike many phones that are made in China.

I have a Motion, which was down to $99.00 last time I checked. A friend of mine just got a Viper, it is very similar but a little nicer.


One thing I did differently this time that you might want to consider. I bought my phone at Best Buy and sprung for the two year warranty. It cost me more out of pocket but if I break the phone, or if it just stops working right, I get a replacement without cost. Or if they can't replace the exact phone I get full purchase price credit towards a new phone. I am pretty tough on phones so I am betting it works out for me. It may not be for you but I think it is worth considering.



Good luck, and don't sweat it to much. Whatever you get will work.
