So my boss just decided today that he wants to join the 21st Century and upgrade to a smartphone. He's a longtime Verizon customer and is overdue for an upgrade.
As for capabilities, he really just wants it for emails, contacts, and navigation. As a Galaxy Nexus owner, I think that an Android phone would be a good option to take care of his needs, however, I'm not too familiar with the phones Verizon has to offer.
My boss is almost 70 years old and isn't too tech savvy. On a computer, he knows enough to surf the web and write emails and stuff, but he can't run it well at all and constantly bombards it with spyware and bloatware. Then he gets really frustrated when he can't understand why the computer's running so poorly. I could easily see my boss getting mad if his phone has similar problems and possibly throwing it at a wall or out a window while driving. I've personally experienced some infuriating Android phones with my dad's Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept. It runs super slow and buggy. If my boss's phone ran like that, I'm sure he'd be pissed.
So, the tl;dr version: I need a recommendation on a Verizon Android phone that an old guy can be taught to run basic functions. It also needs to be one that runs smoothly without too many bugs or issues.
A big thanks for any suggestions you give, I really appreciate it!
