Thank you! Its so nice to get some answers! =)

I don't know why Cingular advertise themselves as the best network. Honestly, I didn't get dropped calls but no one could ever hear me. Everyone said I was ALWAYS breaking up when I was on the phone with them. I haven't had any problems with T-Mobile in the past and my boyfriend has it. He gets CRISPY CLEAR calls at home, wth?!

As for the SK3 ... its too big and bulky. I've played with it on my friends SK3 but its not my thing. I need a phone for work purposes and school-wise.

but, if you choose to stay with t-mobile, I recommend getting the samsung t309 or the other samsung... depending on what you want :].. hope you take my post into deep consideration
I heard good things about Verizon Wireless but the downside is they don't have unlimited text messaging. =( I'm going to be a text-message freak when I get the next line.

Just get the Samsung so we can calm down. It looked nice, a white phone is kinda unique. And it's specs were alright too. Not bad for $150. Could be better but so can a lot of things. I've had a 1.3 megapixel phone for a while now and it's sweet. I can't wait to upgrade to a 3+ MP though!

Haha. Yeah, I think my next phone will be a Samsung. I'm getting tired of Motorola and I outgrew Nokia when I was 17. =P

My boyfriend has the Samsung t809 but I think I might stick to the t609. I just need a phone! =(

ROFLZ.

This was the last Nokia phone I had and that was 4 years ago!


Nokia is a really good phone though but I want something more advanced. I love being up to date with the hippest technology, lol.

It was great on T-Mobiles Total Internet plan because I could surf webpages using the Opera Mini web browser. I was going to MySpace and all kinds of stuff.

My boyfriend has that phone but I didn't want the same phone as him. Last night I went to a T-Mobile store where my boyfriend's customer gave me a hook up. I ended up getting the Samsung t609. I really like it. Its a nice phone and its not bulky. :)

I just wonder was it worth getting T-Zones or not. I just got the regular 600 minutes, unlimited nights, weekends and text messaging.

i recommend buying phones from nokia....the nokia phones in t-mobile are ok....but the really "fashionistic" phones and "functional "are the ones from nokia, my phone right now is the nokia 7270 (way better than a razr, and it came out 2 years before the razr), but planning to go with the n-90 soon baby any ways, the menus on the nokias are really good, no hassle and fast, better firmware then most cellphone manufacturers....just my .02

One of the great things about T-Mobile is that you can cancel your T-Zones at any time. Either by web at t-mobile.com or by calling Customer Service, just dial 611.

I've found that T-Zones is not very useful unless you have a phone that can unlock the port :8080 on Java applications (it defaults to port :80 on some Nokia phones and others). In that case, you would then be able to use the Opera Mini Browser to access the full internet for only $5.99/month. Which is a steal compared to everyone else.

Otherwise, if your Java apps are locked to port :80 then you have to upgrade to the Total Internet package ($29.99/month) to use the Opera Mini Browser.


Congrats on the new phone!

Thanks! :) I didn't want to get T-Zones because I figure it would be easier to DL ringtones off from the website or something. I would only use T-Zones if I was constant crazy about ringtones and that's it.

Hey you know.. I dunno how it is for the t609 but the t809 you just rename your mp3 file extension to 3gp and put it on your phone.. you can set it as a ringtone then!

I got one for sale. It's unlocked, barely used. PM me for price. I used it for a month with T-Mobile.
