I would like an Android phone. I know, let the abuse begin! However, I am used to Android now and the ease of moving over contacts, etc., is the reasoning here. Also, I like a bigger screen for these old eyes, and I don't want to spend, say, more than $150; yes, a used phone is my plan.
I've had issues with downloads and recently with Square where I have an incompatibility issue with my HTC Incredible (which Square support is trying to fix) so I'm thinking I should look for a phone with v4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). What I find is either an older phone like Droid 2 or X but they're still on Gingerbread-my 3+ year old Incredible is at 2.3.4 which is the latest update that will work on my phone. But when I look at something with v4 they are all still sold by providers that I need to sign up for a plan to get a price break; otherwise I have to pay full price.
So am I worrying too much about Gingerbread being outdated? What choices are there out there that will work for me? I am also on PagePlus so I would look at a Verizon phone and was looking at a Droid X ($140 at Amazon). I know from the forum about unlocking and jailbreaking phones but honestly, since it hasn't ever concerned me, I am ignorant of those procedures and if there are phones you all might recommending that would need those procedures I am open to doing it but would need walking thru said procedures and it would need to work on PP.
Thanx for your indulgence!
