Do ALL smartphone apps work on ALL smartphones? Meaning that even iPhone apps work on other phones?
When it comes to my mobile phone, I am stuck in the ...stone age,
even though Europe had today's type of modern mobile phones before
the U.S. I live in ...cloudy Ireland and have ...sunny dashes to Greece!
Everybody is raving about smartphones, but every ...week
it seems there is a new one out and I am soooo confused.
1) Which would be the best for me to get for fast mobile internet access,
camera (taking photos, video), music?... without my becoming a slave to it ....
2) Which would be the easiest for a newbie to use?
3) Which has larger 'keys' for typing?
4) Which one has the LOUDEST alarm sound/ telephone ring
-- since it IS, after all, a telephone!!!
5) Obviously, because I do not appreciate changing(upgrading) my phone
very ...month, which smartphone do you think would be factory-supported
(as a phone, ex. for parts, etc.) supported (with apps) up to three years,
without them discontinuing it?! I have been looking at Samsung Galaxy S,
iPhone or the new MS smartphone or one by Sony Ericson, but did not actually
get to see any of these phones in action because they were ... PACKAGED!!!!!
6) Are ALL languages automatically pre-installed or will I have to install Greek
separately because I need the option to receive messages.
7) Please re-read the initial Question -- it needs to be answered, too.
Also, if I have to (meaning mandatory),can any apps I purchase be transferred to
new phone? How?
8) What is wi-fi? Do I buy it? How is it used? Does it work on EVERY smartphone?
Is it important to have?
9) Is bluetooth important? How is it used?
The sales people were asked the above same questions pertinent to
helping me make up my mind in getting an EXPENSIVE smartphone.
I did not get straight answers AND I did not get a new smartphone.
Your answers are welcome.
Thank you!
When I say LOUDEST ring I mean LOUDEST (none of those tweety-tweety sounds) RINNNNNGGGG!!
Thanks guys!!! Still waiting for more answers...
I did not understand the Jailbreak ... but I just thought of something else.
So iTunes is only for iPhone, as I expected. That is cornering the music market.
And WHAT is the equivalent for the other smartphones to download music?
How is it done? How does one pay?
IF there is internet connection on smartphone, do you need Anti-VIRUS, etc.??
Can phone be HACKED and destroyed ???
All this technology cannot be good...

Well I don't have exactly straight answers and I'm only going by what I know myself as an iPhone user.
1/ The speed of mobile internet is dependent on the service provider of your data, not necessarily your smartphone
2/ I can speak from experience and the iPhone is very user friendly and easy to lean how to use. Another advantage to getting an iPhone is that there is information from a variety of sources on the internet EVERYWHERE about the device so if you're sometimes stuck, if you can't get help from an Apple store, you can always find the answer online. You won't find the same wealth of information and help for other smartphones due to the popularity of the iPhone
3/ It's subjective meaning it depends on you. Do you like to type using a touchscreen or physically touch the keys? IPhone is touch screen entirely but you have the ability to rotate the keyboard whereas with Blackberry you just physically use a QWERTY keyboard to type
4/ I don't know. My iPhone is pretty LOUD. I don't need it to be any louder or I may suffer ear drum damage
5/ The iPhone gets firmware updates all the time. However, if you want to jailbreak it like many of us iPhone users do, then it's not a good idea to update the software on the iPhone once you have jailbreaked it once already. Jailbreak means to hack the iPhone so you can download apps that are otherwise 'paid to download' for free. And yes it's LEGAL to jailbreak, and this is a feature that in my opinion, makes the iPhone stand out as the best amongst smartphones.
6/ I'm not sure but I think the iPhone supports more than one language. You may need to consult Google your friendly search engine
7/ NO, iPhone apps that are developed for purchase from the iTunes store can ONLY be obtained on an iPhone.
8/ Wi-fi is a wireless connection that your iPhone can connect to. Wi-fi is used commonly at home where someone who has their own wireless broadband internet can access it from their iPhone. It's not simple to explain. Ask WIKIPEDIA
9/ Bluetooth is used for transferring files between two phones. I don't know much of how it works. Ask Google or Wikipedia, again.
