off topic...Cell phones...?
we all know that they all suck as do the service providers. just the same, i need a new phone and i was wondering if anyone knew of a new model phone that was good. web browsing would be sweet , but not at the cost of having a big phone, and definitely not at the cost of 700+ bucks. 200-300 is my target price and i'd prefer to have an att wireless compatible since i already have one.
the v60 is looking like the obvious choice, but if someone knows better, i'd love to hear it,
thanks,
jaosn

I'll jump in with the only problem with the V60's. The dang antenna keeps breaking off. But, I have dropped it a few times, and the phone keeps on plugging away.

I like Sprint PCS, just make sure you get a phone that has dual band. The upper model Samsung ones are worth it (in my opinion), and I dont mind spending a good $200 for one. Plus there are usually rebates you get back after that.
Pay $30 a month for 3000 minutes, more than I'll ever use.
If any single, hot women own or want to ride a 12, give me a call!

I have Nextel, though I dont know where their service reaches to. Its amazing, no problems except for a few line of site issues in very mountanous areas. The phones aren't cheap, but samsung and motorola make some nice nextel units.

I'm with Verizon just because it's got the absolute best coverage in my area. (San Francisco Bay Area.) But, AT&T is a strong second. I paid $195 for my Blue Titanium V60. The battery life does leave a little to be desired. Unless you buy the extended life battery, which is way thicker, you're only good to go for two days. So, if you go with the V60 kick down for the CLA (cigarette lighter adapter too.)
But, having said all that, Motorola has another sweeeeeeeet phone that I believe is only available through Cingular. Insteat of flipping up, it kinda swivels like two links of a carpenter's ruler. It's slick and slightly thinner than the V60. You might want to ask the AT&T boys if they carry it.

k, did it.
bought a sony/ericsson t68 gsm phone. 200 bucks and well spent, this phone rocks. better reception, voice clarity, email , internet, it does it all. because i'm not travelling that much the gsm plans are better for me than the one rate plans. 65 bucks a month and i get 700 anytime minutes, 3000 night and weekend, 250 mobile to mobile national, and all teh email and web browsing i could hope for. how can ya beat it?
