Not sure about down there, but I get reception when I'm on the T (subway) here in Boston.

Underground? I get reception in certain areas with Cingular, but only around Park. I thought they decided not to put reception underground though.

Not all the time, but especially around Park Street, I can still get enough reception to make a call.

You do not. I looked into it a couple of months ago (right before we moved), and got the same message I got in 2002. "We do not currently have service in your area, but will soon!" Yeah...four years isn't soon. Unless, of course, that's changed since January.

I highly recommend Alltel. I've had service with them since 2002 and LOVE them! They've always got promotions for free phones. A camera phone, however, is not going to give you decent pictures, so don't be upset if the quality isn't anywhere near your digital camera.

ETA: crzychx, coverage and service are two separate issues.

You're right. There's no T-Mobile in most of North Carolina, I'm pretty sure.

And I have Alltel now and I love it, even though some people make fun of it and say it's ghetto. It works JUST FINE for me. Of course I don't pay my own bill so what do I care?

Does anybody have a Samsung A900? It's time for me to upgrade and this one looks interesting, but I've never had a Samsung.

yeah, i'd recommend this too. it's stylish, thin (but not cheap), good service, mp3 player (itunes), bluetooth enabled, etc.

i'm looking at it for myself as well.

Yeah, I have Sprint, and its fine. It worked on the metro. Of course, the customer service people are incredibly worthless, but hey, thats every company.

Stay away from Suncom no matter what Harry Conick Jr says!!!!

I have a T-mobile MDA and love it. I'll get a mini SD card in a few weeks so I can store more MP3s and pictures on it.

Hokay so never mind, I'm breaking up with Sprint. They sent me the $150 LOYALTY rebate (which should be called a $150 you're-screwed rebate) but as an existing customer I am not eligible for the $100 mail-in rebate. SO to reward my loyalty, they'd make me pay $120 for a phone that some no-loyalty-having-pussy-ass new customer would get for $80. I WILL RISE UP AND FIGHT THE INJUSTICE THAT IS HOLDING US DOWN, MY FRIENDS. I'm not havin' that shit. I'm going to spend some time this evening with the likes of Cingular and Verizon to see if they can entice me with their sexy phones and discounts Sprint cares not to share with me. JUST YOU WAIT, SPRINT. One day, you'll see me talking on my sexy pink Razr or whatever phone I end up getting that's totally cooler than what you offer and YOU'LL BE SORRY.

I like sprint, because they're stupid. I lost my phone, so I extended my contract by a couple years and they gave me one for free. A couple weeks later, I lost that phone (I drank a lot), and they let me sign another new contract (which was just another 2 year contract from that day, so I extended what I already had by like 3 weeks) and they gave me an even better phone for free.

[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?
