Reccommend a device for me?

[Lithaine]

Okay fellas, I'm having some problems finding exactly what I'm looking for. I'll list off what I want in a device and would really appreciate some suggestions.

* 8gb minimum (sd slot would be nice)
*Wifi (I want really smooth web browsing)
*Camera (I would like a camera for videos, but if its not possible i understand)
*good processor (I don't think I'll be gaming, but would like crisp video and no lag when running whatever programs/apps I use)
*decent screen size (not too big that I can't put it in a jacket pocket, but not small enough that I can't use it for anything)
*great screen quality (I'd like a really clear crisp screen, capacitive preferably)
*accessory options (a decent selection of cases basically)
*STURDY! (I like the feel of the ipod touch, but the glass seems to be really weak and I hate plastic! metal would be excelent or if it has to be plastic really sturdy non creaky stuff)
*App/Program selection (I basically want a pocket computer, I'd like to be able to do research, take notes (print things?), get organized...basically everything you can do on a laptop.
*Bluetooth would be nice (hardware keyboard/printer and so on)
*usb or micro usb, not proprietary would be nice.

Sooo, I think I might be asking for too much, and I can only really spend around $200, but any suggestions would be great, even if they're over my price range. Thanks a lot everyone!

maybe a Archos 32 or 43?

An iphone 4s 8GB with a 2 year contract is $200.

How about a Samsung Gallery S Wifi 5.0?

The present value of that iphone contract works out to a hell of a lot more than 200$

What the OP described is pretty much the galaxy s wifi (4 inch or 5 inch variety). The archos stuff will be cheaper but is also about a year older. I think the 32 is resistive too. You could also look around to see if you can get a deal on an unlocked smartphone. Contracts are evil.

One needs a phone anyway, and some cell phone contracts for an iphone are reasonably priced. One needs to pay for cell phone service anyway, so the additional cost of having an iphone might not be that much. The issues with the iphone 4S though are no card slot, and a built in battery. Some people want to carry just one device.


The Gallaxy S Wifi is interesting.

A bit of math

Just saying.

I also vote for a Samsung Galaxy 4 or 5 WiFi, as they do all the op asks,...and with NO CONTRACT! Both are in stock at my local Toys"R"Us.

Thanks for the input all! some great devices mentioned here! I'll do some research on them, thanks a lot!

The question is how much less would someone pay for cellphone service on a different phone? What extra features will the iphone provide that a cheaper cellphone plan with a cheap phone and a Galaxy S won't provide? The iphone isn't for everyone, but for some it makes sense.

You do understand that the OP NEVER asked for a CELLPHONE,...RIGHT?!?!?!

Yeah I've got a blackberry curve and I only use it for texting and facebook anyway so a smartphone, though cool, probably isn't for me. But the suggestion is appreciated none the less!
