Best smart cell phone and cell phone carrier? HIGH END USER

**aspkin** · #1 03-09-2008

I just started with a super cheap phone service, Cricket. Unlimted everything basically at $40 a month, the only bad thing is some of their phones are crap.

It's in cali, but limited coverage.

I go prepaid $30 400 anytime, and unlimited text..no contract

But my sister does Verizon with all the stuff you wanted and loves it, before she had Nextel and hated it..

I love my Iphone. A million and one uses and still counting. Best phone I have ever had for those time when you find your stuck someplace for a long time like the hospital,oil change,post office lines,etc. love the widescreen movies and you can get movies still at the theater for free. I have the 8 gig and am suprised how much music and movies it holds in mp3(Music)/mp4(Movies) format, I keep arround 12 movies and 2k in songs on it at all times. It has a 2mp camera plenty good enough for ebay pics. The internet is great. keep the 1.1 os and install jail brake. And it works great for wardriving I used to use one of those keychain locators like those at wal mart for 20 bucks but they dont tell you if it is a secure network or not and saves a lot of time decripting the wep. keep in mind it isnt against the law to guess someones password only to steal it

Yeah, I heard this from another person on here. He loved this phone, loved it.
But don't you just hate having to upgrade phones every year? Just learn to use
a cell phone and woof! Gotta update.

My plan is arround $60 for 250 Min, 1000 Txt, Unlimited internet. That works best for me being I dont text much or ever use the 250 Minutes. I think that is the lowest plan they have, 2-yr contract. it does a great job syncing each time you dock it updates your bookmarks in addition to appointments, phone numbers, email, etc. One time I had thought I had lost a years worth of bookmarks (Backup....what) on system restore when the phone synced the next time it put them all back on my desktop.

Killed by Ebay · #11 03-23-2008

I am going to be buying a smart phone in the very near future. I am going with cingular AT&T and am trying to decide between the Blackjack II or the Motorola Q Global.

What i want out of a smart phone is a fast and easy to use internet, Good email service, something good for instant messenging, Being able to view Office documents and prefer to be able to edit the documents. (Only being able to view is a priority).

Any other info on these phones would be great, but i would like to know which one you guys prefer

topazcorp · #12 03-23-2008

I don't know for office documents but for browsing the web and managing your emails the Blackberry's the king! I've been using a windows mobile smartphone from Motorola (t-mobile) in the past and it's nothing compared with the blackberry...

BlackBerry

Im currently using a 8gb iphone. To tell you the truth I was kinda stupid getting this phone in august '08. I spent over $1000 for this phone now you gonna be saying how in the world did he do that and gosh is he stupid. Well this is how it happend:
I saw ads of the iphone in june and in july and I was hooked. I wanted to get it soo badly and I mean really really badly. So when I started ebay in july I made enough money to pay alot of bills and then in august I went ahead and bought the iphone. I paid $645 for the iphone and then I paid $200 for termination of contract from tmobile and then I paid for the activation fee of $36 and then I paid the first months bill $70. Funny thing is 2 weeks later the price dropped to $399

So now Im gonna be waiting until the iphone comes out in 2009 as its gonna have more apps and way better design.
I basically do everything from my iphone I love it

To tell you the truth once you use a phone for about six months you get sick of it. Thats what happens to me :D

So how about you guys/gals what cell phone do you use? What phones do you like?

GreenBean · #14 06-21-2008

John, Are you the Tax Man? Not even ebay asks this much.

You want to know SO much about us!. For mobile phones I have two carrier pigeons, Sony & Nokia. LOL.

John14789 · #15 06-21-2008

GreenBean · #18 06-21-2008

John14789 · #19 06-21-2008

Would have helped me understand if you would have just added a smilies! Well I basically love new features in cell phones and I use my phone ALL the time. Your point understood :D

**aspkin** · #20 06-21-2008

I'm waiting until July 11th when the 3g iphone comes out, yep that'll be mine.

divine422 · #21 06-21-2008

Well up until a couple days ago i was using a blackberry 8820 which was a gift to myself since ebays going well. BUT i think i may have left it in a cab so im pretty sure thats gone forever! So now im using a very [insert expletive] nokia. Back to saving up for another one.

imjustme · #22 06-21-2008

I have a Nokia right now. Don't ask me what model, no idea. My wife's sister buys a new cell phone every 2 weeks. I'm not joking. So I always beg her to give me her latest 2 weeks old cell phone. I'm guessing she spends about $2,000 a month on cell phones.
