I need a new cell phone, whats good?

Ryd1ZZ · 06-18-2007, 07:51 PM

Hello all, My contract with verizon is coming to an end and I need to decide to stay or leave for another carrier. I am basically looking for advice from you all about the other carriers and the new phones that are out right now. Stay with verizon? Move to AT&T, amp'd, t-mobile? I am checking stuff out but there is alot to take in. Any feedback, positive or negative about the phones and carriers is welcome. Thanks!
Help me choose a cool phone!

My 30 ipod video will do me just fine for now.

Anyone have Amp'd Mobile? I'm looking at the site and it seems a bit pricey but the live TV sounds really cool

Sooooo Many choices....

Don't know how good of an option Amp'd is at this point...
Amp'd files for bankruptcy

not ATT not the best service out there, talking by experience

although they have very nice phones

I recently switched from Sprint to Verizon. I was with Sprint for 5 years or so. last 2 years was rittled with billing problems they had and also had phone issues with the last sprint phone I had. I swihced to Verizon since all my friends use them and dont seem to have issues with them. They also had better reception than I did. Plus Verizon, I think, has some cool phones out. I went with the Chocolate.

thats why im thinking of going with them they always get the best exclusives god forbid they got a contract with danger for the sidekicks i was with tmobile for a couple of years since sk1 (color screen not the black and white one) - sk3 then i got tired of not being able to do simple things on such expensive phones like picture messege so i went to sprint for the blade when it came out now i might get the iphone but im gonna wait it out these big things always got problems in the begining

go powerful. Just wait a little longer and go with the 8300 series Rim will release soon. The phone is going to have wifi.

blackberry 8300

I am with T-mobile, have been for a few years now, I really like it, good service, good phone. I have the Samsung t629; I really want the sync though. My dad tried at&t for about 2 days at the beginning of June, I have never dropped a call while with t-mobile and he dropped 2 or 3 in those two days using "the network with the fewest dropped calls". (He is with t-mobile now.)

I really like this phone, I want a smart phone (iPhone mostly), but I cannot afford one right now, so i will wait until they are cheap.
