I am old-fashioned. Im still using smoke-signals, pony express, and telegrams. One day i will get a cell-phone and quit being stone aged.

mr sticky

Before cell shopping, hit ebay.

A friend got my 200 dollar phone for 45 bucks.

Caution....phones are brand specific!!!

Verizon Wireless uses CDMA towers.

I loved my MO T720, I talk to a lot of people who have problems with them, but I think it is mostly user error.

I have KY 2235, after I accidently 'user errored' water all over my T720.

I have a Motorola T721.
Anyone know how much more advanced mine is?

I'm stupid and got AT&T Wireless, it's gsm and the coverage around here, Central PA is significantly below spectacular.

This is my first cell.

I don't have a cell, but I really want one for my birthday in May. Could you give me some advice? I'm looking for a very 'neat' phone, preferably flip or slide, not TOO expensive, camera?, games, style . I live in Canada, are there any phones that I won't be able to use here (never had cell before)? I will not be a heavy phone user...
I would like to find a phone that I can buy here. Is ordering over Ebay a good option? Thanks!!

Supradog

I've got an Siemens S55, had it for over a year and after they fixed some bugs in the firmware it became a really nice phone.

I have a Sanyo VM4500 (SCP-5500). I abosultely love it! It has a lot of features such as: Camera/Video capabilities, Call screening, Ready-Link, web browser, etc..

It's a little expensive ($379 retail), but for something that I use all the time, it's definately worth it!

I've got a Kyocera 1135 and its the biggest piece of crapola ever. It gets dust and other various crap UNDER the outer screen and it sticks, and there's no way to get it out. Cover on the 1135 doesn't come off so it can't be cleaned. It seems to be ok at night when its backlit (still have trouble telling battery life or how strong my signal is) but during the day when the sunlight hits it...all you can see it dust, forget about reading the screen.

POS.

I have deep seated dislike ('hate" is too strong a word) for cell phones. It irks me enough as it is when the phone in my apartment rings and I enjoy being out of immediate contact in most cases.
I do use one for work at times when driving company vans/outings with clients/etc and would consider acquiring one if work or any kind of future wife/family situation gave me good reason.

Question... I live where none of the big (sprint, att, verizon etc) cell companies provide service and the local companies have a horrible selection of phones. I thought I read somewhere about how you can rig your phone, or phones that had "patches" or something so that you could use say a sprint phone on a different network. Am i nuts or is this possible?? Anyone else suffer from this problem or am I the only one living in the boonies.

LG VX6000. Bad ass phone. Got in trouble for taking some pictures I shouldn't have. YIKES....

jdjammer

I have the SE t616.. It is one awesome phone. I love the joystick thing to play games with. Plus, it is tiny.

bltzkriegmcanon

Hell yeah I'm serious. That phone (while it is a collector's item) is awesome as crap and loaded with features. I'd definitely get one if 1) There were more than 500 in the world and 2) didn't cost $500-$1000 at the time they were released and now that they're available on ebay.

I too have the lg vx6000.

It's a great phone, and with the data cable you can add pics and ringtones free (20 bucks at radioshack)

Now i'm waiting for someone to crack the brew 2.0 system so I can start downloading games and apps onto it.

Motorola V66g over T-Mobile.

Simple, small, standby life of like 5 days. I love my phone. Don't have many black-out areas; can't and won't complain one bit about the phone or service.

BTW, got $50 for picking this phone too. But that essentially paid for the activation anyway.

Does anyone know of a site that offers cell phone service provider reviews? Basically where it tells you the reception in various places?
