Iz a grownup now
 

After years of grudging, pay-as-you-go use of cell phones, I finally got a real phone, with a real monthly bill.

Damn, it those things SUCK YOU IN! In the beginning, it was "just for on the road," now, look what I got! A party phone!

So, any iphone tips for me?

I finally gave in and got a crackberry. They are addicting. After about 2 months now the newness is finally wearing off.

Don't buy anything Windows Mobile. They blew it again - the keyboard on the Moto I have is very nice, but the phone is ruined by Windows Mobile lack of usability. Usability is everything to a phone.

If I was buying today, Blackberry for sure. J's daughter has a BB Curve and it is impressive.

So the Blackberry is a pretty good phone? What about carrier?

I've been considering buying a different phone. There are so many to choose from.

Why the Blackberry UT above other touch screens?

I almost got the Blackberry Storm, but the monthly service plans I needed worked out much cheaper with the iphone.

it's seriously the Coolest Gadget Eva!

I am sure the I phone is the coolest but it maybe too much phone for my needs. It probably is a mini office huh? I don't want to browse the internet from my phone, or any other office kind of work.

I see there are alot of other touch phones out there.
Functionality is nice and I want that but how many bells and whistles do I really want or need?

I'd like a touch screen,Large font instant messaging free to Canada service and cheap CA calls if needed,nice camera, optional GPS,mp3 capable with a family plan but I don't want a 2year contract. I don't think I have an option about that though.

The razar is not impressive imo

well according to cnet reviews between the blackberry storm and the Iphone..the Iphone won hands down.
:thumb:

"I want a phone that can make calls, and receive calls" - Makes the sales folks' head spin around every time. Keep repeating as they try to upsell you.:D

jinx and i are eligible for our new every 2 upgrade....but i LIKE the razr. it makes and receives calls. plus it has scrabble on it for when i'm bored.

I'm fan (but not *fanatic* they make sometimes bad phones too) of Nokia.

What I can't understand - new Nokia E65 and such sh***y battery. Phone works for 30 hours (stand-by).

Samasung (I tested D900) have easy interface & great functionality (3Mpx camere is awesome) - but try to install any new soft - You need 2 days of training, 8 steps to perform and use 3 different tools.

I tested iPhone 3G - but I was not excited - too big, to much gadgets, close system.

ooh scrabble...tempting and it makes and receives calls. You sound practical. This is what my son says too.

I need a good message phone. One with a good keypad and good fonts so I don't need to wear glasses just to see and text.

I went through cnet reviews and there are too many choices.

I have cricket service so my option if I stick with them are the razar and the samsung messenger.

I want a COOL phone. One that I can play with during my graveyard shift. You know take photos,play games,text my coworker down the hall. We can't to one another because of the kids sleeping.I perhaps just want a toy. I suppose I could jump to a laptop for that though eh?

what do you do? graveyard shift, kids sleeping?

oh, and for --- I think it was Flint that asked how many clicks to call someone on your favorites? Easiest ever.

--rapid double click to get to your faves
--one click to call

and I can play scrabble and about a million other things, too. The koi pond--the ocarina--the white noise player. Seriously cool.

I'm more about the "other stuff" than about the phone, so I'm really pleased.

I will email you the answer

edit- since you asked you are the only person I'v told. I'd like to keep it that way. I just wanted to satisfy your curiosity.

oh, the iphone can do all that and more. Shopping list is one feature I'm going to like a lot.

The ocarina is SUPER cool--turn your phone into a musical instrument by blowing on it. I'm like--no fucking way!
