Smart Phone Peeps, what do U recommend?

[-Ariel-]

I have spent like the last two days reading so much about smart phones. LIke the I phone was a gift and before that my cell was a piece of shit nokia that I brought out west from missouri. Anyway, like I figured I would save money by buying the Blackberry Curve 8310, fits me perfect, cause I don't make like 1200 minutes a month or anything like that, but I'm on the phone now more than ever, due to talking and texting cause of keeping contact with ex grad peeps, family, GF and a few of Yous.

So, I want something other than the Iphone which U can't type worth a shit on. So, I have spent hours like reading and researching and talking to AT&T if it is possible for me to get a blackberry curve 8310 on the go phone plan. Im not doing another 2 year contract costing me 80 a month.


AT&T gave me a different answer everytime I asked if I could use the blackberry on the go plan, finally I got lucky and this chic 3 wayed with her supervisor, and a nokia specialist and I can use the Nokia E71, which rates almost as high as the Blackberry Curve, Plank was righ to stay away from the Pearl, I also think the storm is not gonna be for me. I can't afford to buy the HTC Fuze, or the BlackBerry Bold, so for under 400 the Nokia E71 looks like she's gonna be mine.

I have never thought it was possible to be so douche like about a fucking phone. I mean my bane of existence for the last two days has been over a fucking phone. The sad thing is, now I wanna know more.
LOL... sorry bout this douche rant, but I had to tell somebody bout my obsession over a fucking commodity.

Thanx for all the help U guys, U really did point me out in a very solid direction. I do feel betta now. LOL

yo Areola,

Yeah those rated very high, thing is I don't want to do another 2 year. I got so pwned by my Iphone, like I loved it, but looking back now, I am gonna need a phone that is a little more practical. Even though I'm talikng and texting way more, and in 09 I can't be as frivolous with funds.
Still, like I do love the HTC's those are bad ass. I dunno if they are really that much better than the black berry bold though.
I'm not doing another 2 year for awhile.

Blackberry Bold. Hands down.

See I agree, U can't go wrong with that bad boy, thing is I don't wanna go with a 2 year deal that is gonna run me 80 a month.
I love what that phone has to offer the 3g Speed, and all the shit I can use to organize my shit, as well as postage and surfing. However, I can't afford the 599 price tag if I get it without a 2 year. Plus, AT&T just informed me that they are not sure if the Blackberry OS will work with Medianet. I'm a moron about these things. Like I have no clue about HPDSA, or EDGE, or whatever,
So yeah, the best bet for me was to go go with the next best thing, the Nokia E 71, which ranks super high in Europe, but not shit in states due to it being Unlocked.

Anyway, its a decent phone, and I figure I will be spending like a total of 30 to 40 a month tops on the Go phone plan. So that saves me for 2 years, well about 1200 bucks. I've been fortunate the last year, but in Feb its back to apartment livin, so yeah I need to frugalize quick.

Thing is U have the top of the line in my opinion, I think if it came down to your HTC touch Pro, actually that HTC TYTN or TNA whatever, is my favorite, but can't afford it. I'm not doing another 2 year until the android google comes out in November.

skype.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL I so agree.
I just joined. Like, the GF is now in Guadelejara with fam. However, everytime she visits and we try skype, it fails cause like she has to steal signals.
Which is what I'm doing right now, but whoever it is must be damn close, cause I don't have to sit by any window or sit outside, which is what I used to do before.
Skype does kick ass though.

Ender I really really want the HTC Fuze however I can't afford the 549 price., however I'm on AT&T and like them.
Also, I don't wanna do a 2 year contract, cause I like to get a newphone every year. I guess I could upgrade I was thinking of doing some thing weird like just buying the blackberry curve for 349, then using at a pay as U go plan, so no contract. I hate contracts. I figure putting on like 100 dollars of minutes should cover me for like 3 months with their pland of 10 seconds a minute and 1 dollar a day. Plus U get rollover action as well.

Do U think that is stupid, I figure I would end up spending 80 a month with their nation wide plan and this would run me 1000 a year, if I go pay as U go I would end up spending like 400 a year, and I could get a new phone like next year when the Google HTC, come out in November. What do You think about that, is that a bad idea?
The only thing is I wanna keep my KC number even though I still live in San Fran/ and Vegas for the next 2 months.
How is the Mac?
What ws the problem with the HTC.

The Mac is good. Never looking back.

The problem isn't the phone per see. The problem is the OS. I just got tired of WinMo crashing all the time on me.

For me, the Curve was the best choice for right now. I still got two years to go in my contract otherwise I would of gone with a GSM phone so I can get a cheaper phone.

I wouldn't worry about the Android just yet.
