Greetings. Time and again I find myself surrounded by people -- whether family, friend or otherwise -- glued to a smartphone. I was indifferent for a time, simply amused with the fact they'd rather socialize by phone whilst they're near each other. Conversely? What I have now is a Kyocera -- an old numpad cellular that runs on minutes. Yeah, verily unlike what might as well be the modernized Swiss army knife. Those old man feels.
While said people gave me funny looks, it's now I'm finding virtue in that notion myself. That occurred to me after speaking with dad, who recently replaced his smartphone with a Fido Nexus 5. Something changed in me then, like a snap; people got by so well because of the multitude of things to get along their day. Not only that, work can be boring as fuck and it's lenient with activity lulls as is. This alone makes a buying incentive.
Moving on to the brunt, how should I finally invest? I imagine many of you have years upon years of experience with this, so what brands should I familiarize myself with? I know Iphones and Androids are a thing, but not much else. What I'm looking for in particular is a WiFi service that provides Facebook, Youtube and a music player. Anything else is a bonus, but given the plethoric nature of smartphones, it's probably a given.
Another thing to consider is that I'm from Canada, so anything easy on CAD would be nice. To give an idea, my dad pays a monthly bill of $50, which seems like a fair price. Maybe the Fido Nexus 5 is a worthy one? Still, I give very much appreciation in advance, as I'm very new to this concept as a whole. All that aside, feel free to indulge your experiences with smartphones and share if you happen to be in a similar position as I.
