Hay Guise! Help needed for a cellular device.
Jun 17, 2016, 11:29 AM

My phone is dying... pretty much dead. As many of you know and love about me... it is a flip phone. I have never owned and hardly know how to use a smart phone but will need to get one for work. What are the best options and why. I kinda dont like Mac products, but will be open on the iphone. I dont want something near the size of a tablet either. My wife had a iphone 4 I think and that is about the size that I want. Maybe a little bigger, but not a monstrosity. Srs answers only please. Thanks.

I will be in processing plants climbing ladders, crawling under stuff, leaned up against things that could break a screen from what I have seen.

breaking. I carry mine naked in my pocket for years and have never broken one. Usually that's from dropping/throwing.
But yeah get you a big ### otterbox or similar and you won't have to worry at all.

I drop mine constantly and it's held up. Kind of has a classy look to it, too...you don't feel like a 13 year old girl with sparkles and colors. It's also not nearly as bulky as an ottorbox or something.
You say you don't want the bigger phone now, but I've never heard of someone regretting going ahead and getting a 6+ or equal size phone.

The newer iPhone 6s is not a terrible size. 5s will be less expensive and probably do what you want it to do.

Considering they're almost all built to die an agonizing death the week before your two contract expires.
I love my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. It has a little pen so I can draw little mustaches on everyone's picture and then giggle about it.
