Default Looking to upgrade my phone...

Alright, so right now I've got a Samsung Sync from AT&T, and I'm a little less than a month out from being able to upgrade my phone. I've been really interested in the LG VU/TV. Does anyone have any good/bad comments about the VU? Or any other suggestions??

please only suggest AT&T phones as I do not plan on switching to another company at this time.

I've heard bad things about blackberry's. I've had a couple of friends that had them and both had multiple problems. And I switched about August '07 to AT&T from T-Mobile because their service was so terrible. My calls were frequently dropped, they overcharged my family, etc, etc...

True. But getting charged $3,000 over what you were told seemed a little extreme. And it happened several times.

I don't care about having a 'cool' phone. I like my phone I have now because it is light, durable, battery life is decent, and it has a camera. It is this phone: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/s...edPhoneId=4006

Nothing special. Hell, as long as it works and doesn't take up all the room in my purse or pocket, I'm good to go.

I don't even know how to use half the **** on it. All I do is make phone calls, check my voice mail, take pictures, use the calendar and calculator and that's it.

I know that wasn't a very useful post, King.

I can tell you that LG stuff is good. I used to have an LG phone before my Motorola and I liked it a lot. Good quality. I put it through the washing machine and it still worked fine afterwards. Smelled nice and clean, too.

I'd say get an iPhone if you dont mind changing your current rate plan. If you do decide on an iPhone, you must get the data plan and seperate txt messaging for it (which will replace your current plan).

They are very convenient, btw.

Anywho, if you want to get a "regular" phone, go with the VU or Samsung's Eternity...

PCola, you suck.

As for the iPhone, no. I can't afford the data plan which is like $59/mo on top of everything else I've got to pay for. I'd like one, but just no. I've already got an iPod anyway and would like something a little different than what everyone else has.

Pcola's post just made me fall outa my ****** chair. SHE GIVES ME THE HEEBY JEEBIES.

Anyway, Roll with the iphone... I have one, and I swear I'd feel like I was missing an arm if I forgot it at home or something.

Technology is great.
