Default what is the best new phone?

Got to get a new phone/upgrade with Verizon, my blackberry has played out finally. Any advice on which device works the best out and around Big Lake? Also any advice on good apps to have while on the lake.
Thanks

If you like android the HTC rezound is probably the best Verizon has right now. The galaxy nexus is very nice, but lots of people are having problems with it. The iPhone 4S would be my choice if I was buying right now. I've thought of getting one off contract.

I have the Verizon iPhone and love it. Like shaw said it's just too easy to use and don't let the Verizon pol tell you all apps aren't free. There is plenty of good apps free

The iPhone works the same on all carriers, besides being able to do voice and data at the same time on AT&T. All the android phones work similar to each other, but there are generally some differences. Lots of android manufacturers like HTC and Motorolad put their custom skins on android phones so the might have a different look. Best thing to do is read lots of reviews and spend a lot of time in the store playing with phones.

My wife has the Verizon iPhone 4 and it's a really nice phone. At the time I was using a Motorola droid. It didn't take me long to see the iPhone was a better phone. Easy to use, great display and a great camera.

Iphone 4s rocks, but the battery life could be better IMO.

I phone.. Friend gave a lil tid bit on saving battery life I didnt know. You cans extend battery life by closing all your apps when your done with em. You hit the main bottom button twice,and the apps that are still on line up on the bottom. Hold down on one of them till they start shaking and then just close them using the x at the top,just like your browser on your computer.
