Sure, I don't mean headphones for listening to music. I mean those things that hook over one ear for making phone calls, and if you're turned the wrong way no one can figure out why you're having a full-volume conversation with yourself.

Those little bluetooth ear pieces are irradiating when you are talking to some body and they just turn away and start gabbing , But Verry handy when you are working on some thing and need to call tech support

Watches are bigger now, both for men AND women. I see more big watches than small for women. While I prefer more of a moderate size watch, my mom and my sister prefer the bigger size.

I have been with verizon for over 10 years and I trust its reliability. I can be somewhere that I am the only person with signal. Lots of phones don't have service in rural WV and that is where my dad works. Plus, when I fix up the car, I will probably be driving through the boonies.

I hate making decisions like this. :|
For me, dependability of signal is important. That's what I stayed with Verizon for many years until of certain circumstances made me switch to AT&T. If you'd like to have cell signal driving through the boonies, then just stick with Verizon. A 2 yr contract is no big deal. Before you know it, you've signed contract with them a few more times. I'm getting 450 mins of voice, 1000 text, and 2G of data for $90. Yeah, your $60 sounds pretty good to me. I'm usually surrounded by Wifi so I hardly use my data. 2G is more than enough for me. Just a funny story. Verizon has been the most reliable for me in the past years. However when I was up in the mountain in New York a few years back, I was the only one with cell phone service and I was using At&T back then. Other Verizon users had no bar.

I borrowed a friends note 2. This phone is SO cool. It has a handwriting to text feature in the note pad program that I love. I used to have a Palm pilot that did that. But that was a little box where you put in one letter at a time. This waits for you to finish the word and then it goes. Really accurate, even with my handwriting. ..

The stylus makes the swype feature hella easy, too. It is huge though. ...

I borrowed it to see how the reception on the T mobile network would be at my house., but now I'm conflicted about which phone I want again. My fat fingertips make writing a Bitch, but the stylus cures that.

Oh, I am getting 4g lte here on my porch. I only get 1to3 bars of 3g with sprint. I think I'm going to switch to tmobile.

Now I just have to decide which phone again. Dammit.

My sister has the Note 2, and she loves it also. She doesn't have a tablet so the Note for her is like a phone and tablet in one. I think the difference between the Note and Galaxy 4 is the size.

do it. If for no other reason than the screen of this thing is like one of those ebooks. It's totally flat white with letters... it looks like you're looking at paper

what a cool phone. The voice to text thing is much better than previous phones. It doesn't cut off after you stop a sentence with a period. lol, I had to stop and go back to the manual text entry to get the word 'period' To show up.... twice
