My daughter and I have spent the day online shopping for cell phones.  My husband has a cell phone which is a smart phone, that is issued to him by his employer.  Lately though, he seems to think that he needs to have his own personal cell phone.  Truthfully, I think he sees my daughter and I playing around on our phones all the time and he wishes he could do the same.  He’s hesitant to do more than text or make business calls on his current phone since the monthly bill is paid for through work.  So, we started shopping around.  I think he’s crazy to even consider carrying around 2 phones, but hey, he’s so difficult to gift shop for, if he wants a phone, he might just get one!

One phone we came across that would be perfect for him is the LG DoublePlay™.  It’s perfect for texting because it has a full slide out QWERTY keyboard as well as SWYPE.  The keyboard is larger than the one on his current phone so I think he would find it easier to use and reduced the amount of time it takes him to actually send a text.  He doesn’t text nearly as much as I think he would if he could handle the keyboard better with his stubby little fingers!  Honestly, he probably spend a couple of hours a day total texting right now, but I think that would increase.  The phone is Android based, something we are very used to in our household.

The LG DoublePlay™ which is available exclusively at T-Mobile, has dual screens, the primary screen is 3.5″ and the 2nd screen is 2″.  They can operate independently or simultaneously, a very cool feature that would allow him to surf the web at the same time he is attempting to send a text.  That’s something he can’t do at all right now.  In fact, he rarely visits social networking sites because he can’t do that on his current phone.  I know the time he spends doing that right now would certainly increase!  In addition, the phone as a 5 megapixel camera and takes HD video.  I think he would like the addition of the video feature.

So, what do you think?  Do you spend a lot of time texting or visiting social networks on your cell phone?  Let me know, I’m curious!  Would the LG DoublePlay™ change the way you currently use your cell phone for texting or social networking?
