not one reccomendation? what yall got?
strutters ive met have been little chattering phone bitches, so you might as well come clean and reveal what you been pressing you rlips up to,ya fuckin punks
i will not fuck with them, as per your anti-reccommendation
Plus almost every other week moms calls, saying "I love my new phone!"
i feel more sedate now
I have T-Mobile. The only thing that's ever been a problem is getting stuck with some heavy international roaming bills. Although they do have a discount plan for frequent international travellers.
Don't get a Sony Ericsson K750. It's a nice phone but the OS is slow and buggy. Not bad enough that I've replaced mine but an ongoing annoyance.
Nokia seems to have the most intuitive menu systems nowadays, but again there's no account for personal taste. Make sure you play around w/ whatever you want to buy first. Looks are one thing, but the os will either make your life pleasurable or a living hell. Syncing is a big thing for me, I recall you use macs right? Make sure the phone is compatible w/ os x and can sync with your address book. Typing #'s in manually is prehistoric, check for bluetooth or data cable compatibility.
I am not a big fan of cameras on phones, they're strictly novelty. Quality on shots are pathetic, I rather just carry my camera with me. Give it a few years, the quality will improve. Remember, at the end of the day, the most important thing about a phone is its ability to handle the basics. Make sure it has good battery life, decent reception, and is EASY to use.
has been the best phone I've had. And I'm a phone destroyer, for some reason.
I liked my Motorola Razr for a while, but fuckin' thing broke twice. Tried lots of different brands, but my best experience has been with the Nokia phones.
i never hear nothing but hate on Razrs. but mine is working fine after about a year. I drop it all the time. it's slow as fuck transitioning between menus and functions though. Nokia got the best menus.
I think it depends on the region. I have had sprint for 2 years. My plan is cheaper than most of my friends' plans, they've never tried to fuck me over, and my service has been great. And they gave me a free phone for upgrading my contract by one year.
I currently have this phone and it's been fine, and it has a camera:
Samsung A640
i think service wise, they are all pretty much the same unless you are going into some remote part of the adirondacks, some carriers have good phones others dont so go with what you need.
just dont get locked into a 2year deal and see if they give refunds after the first 30 days.
as for you question on cheap phones, go on craigslist or ebay or even ask a friend... im sure people have old used phones lying around.
what would happen to america of cellphone reception came in around 5% of the time for a couple weeks??? would it usher in the apocalypse or what?
all the providers suck, just go with what phone you want. this joint has been reliable as hell (thin but solid), has an ill camera, and nice mp3 capabilities.
yeah, it doesn't fuckin matter who you're with, they all piss off people with shitty reception/customer service..... it's just a matter of if you're one of them. i'm with verizon and the've been on point, but i've heard plenty otherwise. same for all companies.
