Is it worth getting an Android phone?
I need a new cellphone and people keep talking about Android phones but I dont really know whether I needwant one. I use my cell for talking and texting and Im not bothered about using it for the internet, music and games. I also heard that Android phones have short battery life. Is it really worth it getting an Android phone?

Answer

It is only worth it to get a smart phone if you are going to be using the internet or email or want tons of apps. Even the most basic phones can do music and games and they can do internet and email in a pinch really slow and awkward though.brbrI would recommend against Android if you were going to get a smart phone. Their battery life is poor because they put too much power into their phones without a big enough battery, and they run things like G and Flash now irrelevant that take even more battery power.brbrThey also have very poor support of their devices. All iPhones from up to two years ago were eligible for iOS the day it was released. Android phone support is very fragmented and many phones never run a current version of the operating system. Lots of the apps are junk or cant run on specific phones.
