DONT get the palm centro :shock: i wasted $400 on that damn thing.

went back to using my samsung a900, which is several years old and still works 100%.

it really depends upon your choice of carrier. i use metro PCS, which is cheap and easy. also, it's owned by the miami dade police dept, which is INTERESTING 8)

Hi,

Well,my wife gave me a Sony Ericsson Z530i- actually I had to take it outof my pocket to see the model name but I like this one as it folds and there are no buttons that can be accidentially pushed; it also has big friendly buttons and plays Pretty Vacant when it rings ;)Oh yes it also has a long standybytime just in case I forget to charge

Aha, iphones...........just the other day I was hipped to what those can do.......

Intelligent phones though????

The magical mrpicard can tell a whole lot about those

Yes the operator is the key to best coverage I have learnt through the years.
I went with the oldest operator in Sweden which made the most sense to me where I am.
I would guess there would be different operators that can offer varying service- I'd check the one for the best rates and coverage

The actual phone is more a matter of preference and what features might be handy.
The cellular I have can do about 15 things I have not tried yet and have no clue about.

I remember my first phone, a bakelite piece that weighed about 5 kilos and so crushed a toenail now and then.....ah but it had a strong sound and a hefty ring to it and in those days if I was not home I would not answer the phone...........my wife changed that when she gave me my first cellular.......

I was talking with a friend the other day and about how we used to joke about phones one day being able to brew cofffe and show children's channel TV.......well today there is a solution for those who want that.....but that's development and combining ideas of phone with somethingelse that might be useful .......

Have fun
BJ

I'm a regressionist when it comes to cell phones. I want a telephone not a 10 mpxl digital camera attached to a supercomputer that can eventually make a phone call after you succeed to scroll through a cascade of pop-up menus....

A Danish computer science professor once said he envisioned computers that would be as easy to use as a telephone, well, this just proves you better be careful what you wish for :mrgreen:
