Don't care at all and don't quite get why people always have to be on theirs.

Life was simpler and less annoying when I didn't have people always wanting to call just to talk. Get off your damn phones.

My contract is up in July and will be looking to get a new, very cool phone. Maybe you all can help me?

My phone feature wish list are:

~Querty keyboard
~WiFi
~Download movies (if that can be done)
~LOUD ringer (I've never had a cell phone with a loud ringer - especially when it comes to real ring tones)

I think that's it, lol.

The Treo 800 comes out in august for Verizon, but personally, i would stay away from CDMA networks, because they are lame. GSM is the way to go. But, you could always switch to cingular and pay 600 dollars for an iPhone.

I'm not sure yet. I was going to find a provider that is here in WA and WI so when I move to WI next year, I won't have any problems.

I was actually about to post a request for some cell info. I suppose here with the cellheads would be a good place...

I was looking to upgrade my old ___ basic phone with something a little more useful. I'm not on my phone much, but I'd like something I can take quick photos with (so I don't have to lose my $700 camera in a drunken stupor), has bluetooth, and isn't the size of a brick. I really like the look of the slim phones. Mp3 playing is neat, but I already have a 60GB ipod, so it isn't necessary. I kind of wanted something I can download little games like tetris and poker and what-not on as well. (Kind of like a gameboy to pass the time when on the bus/train/waiting for food at a restaurant) I was eyeballing the razr V3m red (just to help out a little) but some of the reviews make it seem like its got a bunch of tech flaws in it compared to the newer phones and I'm not overly keen on the flip phone aspect (the more moving parts, the more likely I am to break it). So I started looking into the slvr (even though my provider doesn't have the red one). I'm with U.S. Cellular and have a plan that fits me perfect but isn't offered for new users. So I don't want to change plans, just upgrade my phone. I talked to the people at the us cellular place at the mall and they said as long as it uses the us cellular format I can bring in the phone and they'll activate it with my service. So I'm open to other options aside from the phones directly on the us cellular website. Anyone got any tips or advice?

Having used both Cingular and Verizon, I would choose Verizon any day of the week. Wit hVerizon I'm more liekly to have a signal, my call isn't dropped at all, as opposed to Cingular, which won't get a signal inside any apartment I've ever been in...and the customer service is much easier to deal with.

The only time I use Cingular/AT&T is when I'm going to New York so I have coverage in the subways.
