I'm going be upgrading my cell phone soon, possibly tomorrow even. I am liking the blackberry pearl. anyone have one of those? I have been using a motorola v-551, so even the pearl is a massive upgrade in phone tecjnology for me. the more I read about windows mobile, to more I learn it sucks.

4.6Love- you sell cell phones and pda's and such right? What would you recommend? I'll be renewing a contract with at&t so the phones are heavily discounted.

 

I just upgraded my phone for AT&T I went and got the sony ericcison W580I and i love it.

I was tempted to get the Black Jack II but it was a little to much and you had to purchase a unlimted data plan for the rebate.

 

the Moto Q is pretty sweet. My friend has one of those. Not sure if you have checked those out of if thats even the type of thing you are looking for

 

Razor FTW!

Thin and Durable. Takes Pics, sends Txt, and makes/rcv calls. It is everything i need in a phone.

All that extra poppycock is for the birds.

 

Ive had the razor...i didnt like it only because of the ergonomics of it...flat buttons...but yeah it was functional as hell and basic, same software as I have on my current motorola v551

i want a more capable phone, but i dont want a PDA brick. thats why I was thinking blackberry pearl, its got nice features, but not a dizzying array as to be annoying. Its bigger than what i have, but not by much. no windows mobile also, a plus in my book.

I was liking the sony 580i, but no camera.

 

The new windows-based phones are much better. My wife has on a new Moto phone (and she loves it). Me? I tried one about 2 years ago and it sucked. I went back to a basic phone, though I am due for a new one.

If I were to get a BB, I would go with the Pearl. But, unless you need to be that much in touch with a job having one of these is a real waste of money if you ask me. Just an added expense. I get between 100 - 200 emails a day that are work-related.

I may end up just sticking with a phone again because I have an aircard for my laptop. While it is a bit more of a hassle to start up the PC, it is a lot more useful then trying to work off the phone. I think a BB would just drive me nuts.

 

the sony ericcson W580I has a camera 2mp to be exact. Has text, Video, etc. etc.

 

I like the one that Verizon has that is completely water-proof....that is what I need.

 

w580I

 

damn, i need a better source...or better eyes!!! thanks for the clarification.

 

blackberry curve! I have had mine since the day it was released and i love it! mine is with tmobile and it has the UMA piece that connects to my home network so its like VoIP but on your cell phone and all those calls dont count against your minutes. I have it hooked up to my wifi in our office as well. I get well over 700 emails a day for work so a BB is a must for me.

 

a lot of the new phones look slick as hell, but i have a bad habit of abusing the crap out of phones. lol

 

I was looking at that one...looks badass, but I think its far too much phone for my needs. the pearl is even has a tad more than i'd need I think.

 

what exactly are you looking for in a phone?

 

lmao x's 2! me and my g/f are on my mom's plan(i got one and my g/f had this pay-as you go phone she paid like 30 dollars every 2-3 days .so i said screw it and got her a phone on my mom's line plan thing) me and her have free txting and etc. but anyway back to the reply lol. ive busted 2 cellphones already, well the first one the antenna f'ed up and then the 2nd one i just got pissed and snaped it in2 and this 3rd one is diff than the first 2 and seems to be working good. but the day i got it it kept doing some stupid **** and i bout threw it out of the truck window going 70 down a highway but then i threw it on the passenger floor. but omg my g/f has went through 2 of em too... first one it kept malfunctioning and couldnt see the phonebook and wasnt getting alerts for txts and wouldnt ring. then the 2nd one we had a fight and she slammed it down and the screen busted and the battery flew right past my head . i was like wtf. but the one she has now seems alright.

OMG! Does that thing give BJ's? That is just too dam much stuff on a phone.

 

just enough for me, Just think what all a PDA phone can do.

 

I think sometimes people just buy crap because, well, it just has a lot of crap on it. I bet 90% of the people that own these don't use 90% of what it can do.

 

yeah more than likely, I dont use any of the internet crap. To much extra money for me. but everything else i use for the most part.

 

i think 90% of the people buy them because they want to go to the clubs and pull it out and look like a high roller gettiing an important memo from his people so girls will pay attention to him and hopefully he can get laid when in actuality it is an email from his mom telling him to clean up his room.



BAHAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

nah my car does that for me already.

 

Ha ha, if i take a phone into a club, bar, or restraunt it is so the baby-sitter can reach me. Otherwise, I definatley don't want the dam thing ringing when I am having fun.

Cell phones are hear to stay, but they are electronic leashes.

 

all i gotta do is hang some brain and the girls go nuts

 

Im working on the brain part. Thats why im at college. Girls are attracted to me I just dont really do anything about it *shrugs* or if i do i pick the wrong ones.

 

a semi capable smartphone with a better than 9 keys. i think the pearl is the one, i made this thread to get ppls opinions on the pearl, good/bad, and just to see if there were phones out there i hadn't even seen before. def not gonna be showing it off to ppl in clubs..ive never even been to one.

 

Lol.... Thats not what i mean about "hanging some brain"

LMAO

 

then what do you mean? Im confused

 

oh man. lol.

its where you just let yer ***** hang out of yer fly




lol...

 

ahhh hahaha wow ok. I was hoping you were not refering to that.
