What Kind of Phone Should I Get?

I have AT&T

I have a really basic Nokia now, and I don't like it because the sound is not very good, plus it won't hold a charge very well anymore, and the handsfree is not great.

Mostly I just want a a good phone, I am not really into texting or surfing the net via phone, but since I see Blackberrys start at $15/month for AT&T I might consider it if it is a decent phone.

iPhones are obviously cool, but I really don't want to increase my monthly amount by that much, and I don't want to spend a lot on a new phone.

I have AT&T.

I have an unlocked Nokia 5800, so I stay on the basic plan and don't spend on extra data or whatnot like I would have to with their smartphones.

I am waiting to see if Nokia Windows phones are gonna be the shit!!

I may settle for the basic Nokia 500 Fate that just came out....

Mine is an even more basic Nokia than that. My favorite phone was my first Nokia, I don't know why I got rid of it!

it was something like this, the battery lasted forever, and the sound did not hurt my ears

These seem pretty cheap, and I can get a plan for just $15 more. I just don't know if I would even use it, or if they are good phones

Yup I had a few of those basic Nokias, LOL! Good phones!! I switched up to a Motorola a few years ago and then bounced back to Nokia. I have an iPod Touch so I have thought about the iPhone. I do like a lot of the contract phones but with a lot of the smartphones now, they make you get an extra data plan, while with the Nokia, I can used the simple unlimited text/web plan....

I know Nokia isn't the powerhouse it once was, but I still do like my phone now, and I also like having a phone that I don't see coming and going everywhere. The thrill of apps wears off after a while, I just want to hit my email, mild web surf, facebook/twitter, and play music, and my phone now does all that plus....

If it had more ram and memory I would never upgrade, it's a perfect size, weight, look, everything.

I can't see the second phone sad

Right now I have considered the Motorola Atrix, priced right at $99 right now, which is a powerhouse beast, the HTC Inspire, which my niece got and dropped the heck out of it and cracked it in less than a month, and the Windows phones....

I actually like to go on Amazon and browse their unlocked phones. THey have some nice finds there.

I swear if you're looking into a new phone just try an ANDROID based phone...

I have an "Incredible2" from Verizon and I swear it's the finest piece of technology I've EVER owned...

and it's not an iPhone... razz

a cell phone?

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

We have ATT. We switched from iPhones to the HTC Inspire.

We've been happy so far.

I have an grandpa'd in $30/month unlimited text&innernet thingy which is really helpful. Don't know what AT&T is up to nowadays...

it's a smartphone yes but it TOTALLY lives up to it's name... the speech-to-text alone is god-like...

both! that in between color where one person calls it blue and another green. where, if you tilt the phone just so, it looks blue one way and green another. i love that color! like, the water offshore in cancun, or that last light of the evening, that b lueish, breenish color in the sky just a few bands up from the deep rose red blush that tucks the sun in at night. that color. nod hope this helps!
