For someone who never had a smartphone, is the iphone 5s a good start?

Very excited about getting my first smartphone! Should I go with iphone 5s?

For someone who has never had a smartphone, any smart phone is a big upgrade. My wife went from a regular phone to a Defy XT, which is no where near the level of a iPhone or advanced Android phone, but she loves it.

Yes it is a very good start. Compared to android models it is easier and the apps are less likely to fail. Its just that they are expensive.

Walmart is selling 5C for $79 and 5S for $179 (on contract) … Best deals I seen on the new iphones: http://news.cnet.com/...-for-9/
