Looking for a new phone, not changing providers!
 

ok so its time for me to get a new phone, this one is starting to cause problems .. ie. when people call me sometimes all they get is static... and it randomly loses signal, and sometimes ill be talking and the person cant hear me... so its time..

i currently have a w600i... and i like it... speakerphone is loud, ringtones were loud, bluetooth, decent sized screen, ****ty camera :(, cool way to open...

im looking for something new.. i dont know jack about whats out there right now and whats good... i like the samsung d807 and the blackberry pearl.. and thats about all i know...

i dont want anything too big like the razr or krzr... and i dont TRUELY need a pda phone.. although it would be nice.. i get a sizable discount from my employer, however if i need to go elsewhere to find an unlocked phone i will... so post up some suggestions!

treo man, I can't live without it. But then again im getting emails from the office and reuters all day so i kinda need it. I don't know what business your into but regardless if you get 100 emails and day or a couple of important ones a day, a pda phone will make a huge difference, and looks pimp too.

id rather keep my work emails.. at work... lol... i work for comcast and get roughly 300 emails a day... most of which are just notifications.

Blackberry Pearl

^reasons? .. i love the way it looks, but i dont know **** about the functionality.

what carrier do you have jon? I love my enV. Bluetooth, 2.0mp cam, qwerty keyboard, loud speakerphone, plus its got the usual mp3 player and blah blah bs. Voice quality is good and havent had a dropped call on it or lose of signal. That be because of Verizon. But I love the phone.

what phone company are u with?

ATT/cingular, they have the best signal in this area...

wait, you want a pda but not bigger than a razr or krzr ?

the razr, when open, is the size of rhode island. the krzr is the size of delaware.

and i didnt say i WANTED a pda phone i just said it would nice ... im open to all kinds of stuff.,

Hence the Pearl. All my friends who work at Cingular love it. It has the QWERTY keyboard so it will take some time getting use to if you are addicted to the T9 like I am. It's great for on the go checking and responding to e-mails. It is 3G capable unlike the iPhone I also believe that with the phone you do get a free blackberry e-mail address. It has functionalities like AIM/Yahoo and also runs Java so you can install Gmail and other apps as well. Also, if you have other people you keep in contact with who ha Blackberry there is this feature where it's like free chat between the phones. And text messages also look like IM windows, meaning, the conversation just keeps adding to a window with the same person.

I am looking into getting it myself screw the iPhone for now.

P.S. Damn maybe I should get a job with Cingular

I just got the BlackBerry World Edition fomr Verizon. Not sure if ATT has it but it ROCKS....and i have had a Treo since they came out and finally made the jump to a BB and i love it.

im just not into the idea of all the extra charges that go along with checking email/chatting/internet

I think I pay $35 total for unlimited all

yea but that would bring my bill up from like ~60... to ~100 a month.. i dont really like that idea.

pssshhtt more like north dakota

this may provide no help casue its t-mobile, but i have a sidekick 3 and never have any service problems, my bill with everything is near $70 a month (includes unlimited text, e-mail, voicemail and i think 1000 mins)

id say the sony treo phone, its big but does alot of stuff, did you think about the i-phone?

i am not paying that much for a ****ing iphone. i have an ipod. its not that cool IMO>

You must talk...a lot

relax man, if i happen to get them "falling off the truck" then you'll want one

i do talk a good bit... my plan is like 39,99 plus taxes plus text package.... so yea...
