Cell Phone?

[valkyrie]

OKAY SPRINT, I still love you. I sent them an email complaining about the rebate situation, and they're giving me the $100.

Now I'll be able to watch football on my phone. That is so sweet.

Now, I'm one of those people who loves Verizon Wireless. Great customer service and the rare dropped call, etc. It's time to pick my next phone, and I'm seriously considering that new Chocolate phone. Anyone know someone who has it already?

I don't, but there are reviews here on cnet. This site is pretty helpful, I think.

That's good that they've changed their ways. I had Sprint during college, and they had awful customer service. I always had trouble with their phones, and they really weren't helpful at all. Maybe since the company changed they have improved.

Agreed - we both had horrific Sprint experiences in undergrad, and mine continued even after . . . if they've improved, that's awesome, because I had zero problems with the actual service, just the customer service.

I use US Cellular, which sucks pretty badly but gets me the corporate rate - I would only suggest it if you're extremely cost-conscious in the Midwest.

My current phone is a RAZR V3c - it's absolutely fantastic, great reception, lots of memory and options, and I put it through the washing machine and it still works. Very solid phone, far better than any of the other Motorola products I've seen/used (and none of the battery life issues the earlier RAZRs had - I get about 4 days of power-on time, and have never had talktime issues).

I've always had a good things to say about Sprint's Customer Care...but the people that work at the little kiosks and stores where i'm from are NOT helpful at all.

Plus Sprint's plans have gotten more expensive.

I would like a cingular, but give-me-a-break. They have that "all over network" but my all my family has it and they are paying an arm and a leg for pretty much nothing---and Cingular isn't much of a help. They told my mom she wouldn't be paying anything over like 100-$150 each month, and she's paying close to $300 and she has no idea why.

I'm thinking of getting T-Mobile. I have a cousin who works for them and LOVES their service. Plus I really want a sidekick. Anyone else have/had a sidekick and wanna share your experience with me?

I LOVE T-Mobile! Their customer service is always fantastic & they have great prices.

ttt. . .

Getting ready to upgrade, probably next week. I currently have service with Cingular, and am thinking of getting the Samsung Blackjack (probably 1st choice), a Blackberry somethingorother, or maybe a Palm somethingorother.

Any suggestions/recommendations? Do any of you have these phones? I'd love to hear your likes/dislikes, or if you have another phone that you've heard good reviews for, please do so!
