I’m not going to tell you it is superior to your Garmin. It probably doesn’t work as well but it is handy to have with you all the time.

I have pre-paid Verizon. It costs $16 per month and what I don't use carries over. Currently I have $355 in time built up. I don't use it much...like it for highway travel.

I also have taken a lot of pictures...mostly of my fingers and feet!

That sounds very attractive. Did you have to buy a phone separately?

I am thinking of doing the same thing, so this thread has been very valuable. I’m paying attention to the warning about smartphones eating up data allowance, as I have Verizon wireless and a limit of 5 Gs. They don’t have an unlimited plan, but you can increase you limit. I mostly want to change over because everyone assumes I have a smartphone and that creates problems, like when meeting places are changed at the last minute by e-mail.

You have an exciting opportunity here. You have 14 days to back out, each time. Try the Galaxy S4. Back out. Try the Droid 4. Back out. Try the Razr M. Back out. Try the LG. Back out. Try the HTC One. Back out. Try the iPhone. Back out. Pick the one you liked the most. Save money and buy accessories online. Write back in a month! Personally? I had my choice of a company iPhone or a Droid 4 and (following a personal Droid, Droid 2, and a Droid 4... ...chose the Droid 4 (but I have technical requirements for a keyboard which I almost never use...)
