The battery on my existing cell phone gives only about 60-75 minutes of talk time (with very little standby time). I've learned I'm entitled to a new handset.
I plan to get a free one, in the flip style. The only feature I'd like is a better built-in camera, though most seem to have that. (What is a "VGA" camera?)
Any recommendation for brand of basic-model flip-type cellphone? This is for Verizon.
Thanks!
VGA camera is almost certainly 640x480 which is 300k pixels. Go for the 1.2M pixel cameras.
Once I decided on my required feature set, such as 1.2M pixel camera, and rate plan, I decided on my phone based on various reviews found on websites such as
I prefer to not use my cell phone. Indeed I'm happy if I get less than one call per week. I decided to go with Virgin Mobile in Canada as, for $100 prepaid, I don't have to throw in money for another year. I will very likely have money left over. In addition the cell phone they had for $80 had the same features as competitors cell phones for $280.
A nice bonus is that the battery is a rectangular battery inside the plastic case. The back case was the battery on my previous six year old cell phone so those batteries can be found on Ebay for $52. These batteries can be had for $10 or $15.
