Re: What Linux-based phone should I get?

Hey Bob,

I have a spare old Nokia 6720 Classic (6720c-1b) that you can have if you
want it (or borrow until you get replacement).  You can look up the specs,
but it was a pretty decent phone with GPS and maps and even the ability to
get some apps, though I'm not sure you can still download any.

My new phone is the Motorola Moto G.  For $200ish to $300 it has been a
pretty good phone for basic smartphone usage.  My favourite features over
the old standard phone are the swipe typing, and voice recognition.
Everything else I agree I could do on my tablet.

As Geoff says battery life is not as good, but I actually haven't found it
that bad.  I can get up to 4 or 5 days with light usage, less if I'm using
it a lot, especially with GPS on.  Installing Agent or something similar to
turn off wifi/bt/gps at night definitely helps lengthen battery life.

Hope that helps,
Michael
