I was thinking about getting a new cell phone and wanted to know what everyone has and what you think about the phone and your service provider.

I have a Samsung T509 that I really don't like. I had the T809 and it was literally the best phone I ever had but I lost it.....I LOVE Samsung but this phone is to simple for me. It gets the job done but I'm bored with it.

I also have T Mobile and I've been with them forever. I love em!


Anyone have a Blackberry? If so how do you like it?

i have an iphone. i love it. the only downside in my opinion is at&t.

the phone isn't perfect but better than anything i've ever owned. It fits me well.

blackberries are great too... I was actually between a blackberry curve/8820/pearl and the iphone... after messing with all three the iphone was for me. The blackberries came in a very close second.


If I had tmobile instead... i would have definitely picked up a blackberry.

Ive got the samsung SCH-A950. A great phone/mp3 player/video player. Two speakers for "stereo" sound, its an older model but none the less a awesome phone.

still using my RAZR. been pretty happy with it for a few years now, no issues yet.

service is U.S Cellular, ive been through pretty much them all, and they give me the best deal, and i never drop call's. (which is a very big problem for me, im a truck driver)

razrs arent good phones. any phone that someone gives away is a crap phone IMO. i have a vx9900 on verizion wireless. its nice phone but just today on my way here on lunch, my phone fell out my pocket and now the front screen is cracked to shit. i cant get a new one because i JUST got this new phone day before yesterday, now this new phone allready came with a more messed up inner screen but the outside was perfect so i'm left with a new phone thats f***ed up on both screeens and it still wont get full bars. mad.gif

other then that its a great phone and i love the keypad for text and games. and it has a really good scheduler

come october I hope to have what they call the neo1973 smartphone, consumer version.

openmoko.com

theoretically, it'd be completely customizable.
