Time to get a Smartphone?

I think it’s time to bite the bullet and get myself a smart phone – I feel like the last person on earth, or at least among my group of friends, to still not have one. I don’t use my phone much for calls and texts and the like so had never seen the point in spending a lot of money on one, plus more money on an expensive contract offering more minutes and texts than I use per year.

However since my other half got an iPhone I have really started to understand the benefits more – yes there’s all the obvious stuff like never having to be away from scrabble or bejewelled blitz on Facebook (my current obsessions :P ) but it’s also got us out of a few sticky situations, prevented hours of being lost in strange cities and helped motivate me to take up running which I now love.

Plus, it would make me a better admin here at RealityTVFan.org as I would be able to do certain updates while out and about and I’ll always be one of the first to know about any reality TV news :)

I am considering the new Samsung Galaxy S II, a friend has the original Samsung Galaxy S which I was already impressed with and the newest version offers many more features and cool things that make me go ‘Ooooooooh’, including a 4.3 inch WVGA SUPER AMOLED Plus display.

It’s also thin and lightweight which is important to me as I don’t want a big cumbersome phone weighing me down when I go running. It’s dual-core processor will ensure it can handle any thing you throw at it and it also has an impressive 8mp camera capable of recording 1080p HD video – so if I am ever out and about and spot a reality TV star I’ll be able to share the moment with you all here ;)

What phone do you have and could you imagine life without it?
