Consumer Reports sez the Galaxy 23 is a Smart Buy at $549.99 from Amazon.
What say ye, phone gurus? She needs a rilly good phone, but not the current top of the line.

We normally buy droids around the $200 mark, I bet they only $150 today.

with the opportunity to meet 2-3 trailer inhabitants every week all across SC, for years on end, iPhones are almost always present. At a good 2-1 ratio over android phones. iPhones are almost exclusively the preference for illegal aliens working in SC.
I don't know how that plays into Obed's assumptions, but that's just my observation.

I understand the feeling of Apple as being a cultist group, but I love the inteoperability of my MacBook and my iPhone - and with the new OS it is going to get better.

it was actually a 3yr deal, which I didn't like, but was OK. And they said Mrs No's trade-in phone was broken when they received it. It wasn't broken when I shipped it. Went round and round, got a courtesy credit after I accused the guy of calling me a liar. I notice their current deal is for a trade-in in any condition. I'd say they pissed a lot of people off similar to my experience.

I looked into it, but there were some things I have that I think were an issue if I moved over. I need to look at it again.

That would put me at $180 for a family of 4.
For $170 with Verizon I have a better plan than that, 4 new iPhones (two 15 pros and two 14’s), and max, Hulu, Netflix and Disney included.
If I was shopping for one or two lines only I’d probably look at a smaller carrier.

the best you can get (was) about $45/month for less bandwidth.

55+ $15/mo plan. If you're 55 yrs old.
It uses T-Mobile network. I must say I'm not a huge phone user though, I don't spend time looking at a phone all day. But haven't had any issues so far.
You do have to pay for months in advance to get the best deal (I paid for whole year $180 total), that's the biggest downside I think.

which was supposedly a hige improvement from previous models, and I've had zero issues with. Very sturdy.
I do much of my phone stuff (texts, emails, etc) on the outside screen, and never even have to open it up.
