i know i have started too many cellphone threads, buuut....
 
my current phone took a ---- just a couple weeks before i wanted it to, so i have to get a phone with a working display soon. but it gives me a better excuse to get a nicer phone.

i have it narrowed to 2 different phones.
https://www.t-mobile.com/images/prod...es/250x270.jpg
the razr V3t. i have come to learn that it is much nicer than the original razr and it has a few more appealing features on it, like a micro SD drive, mp3/video playback, and a nicer camera. i can also get it for $110 + $50 rebate, which is 40 bucks less than tmobile's site.


https://www.t-mobile.com/images/prod...270myfaves.jpg
the dash is really ------- tight, i got to play with one at the mall for an hour or so, tho i did not get the opportunity to hit up the internet on it. it has everything on it that i wanted on the razr, but has a bigger screen so i could stick tv shows and movies on that micro SD card. the camera is pretty sweet too, it has a lot of fun features and does some cool stuff. i forget my actual price on it, but i know it is under 200 +50 rebate, as long as i get the internet plan for 1 month.

basically i need to get a phone worth replacing when it breaks, my current phone has a $70 deductable on it which is not even close to being worth it, and i know there is no way for a phone to last 2 years these days.

Dont get a Razr. I work for Cingular and have owned a few and can tell you from experience they suck. You have to have it in the "sweet spot" on your ear to hear it well, software is slow and glitchy, and it makes extra paranoid because you're afraid that everytime you drop or hit something with it its gonna break. Grab the Dash, but only if you think you need a pocket pc type phone, cus other than that they're useless and expensive for no reason, and T-mobile's internet is slow so its really not worth it. My buddy gets 8mb/s tethering off of his Cingular 3g phone with his laptop, pretty tight. I dont know if anything I said has to do with anything, cus i'm pretty fucked up. But just dont get a razr :6

i think i might have to get the razr. it's really the only regular phone from tmobile that i want. it's also got the same interface as my v330, which im used to and really like. the guys at the cell stand outside of the lids i worked at have been really honest with me. they talked me out of a couple of really expensive phones and they are straight forward with me on what their spiffs are, so i know they aren't ------- with me.

i just got home and i just powered up my nokia 3390, which i kept around for just such an occasion, im so pimp.

Re: i know i have started too many cellphone threads, buuut....
 
I worked for Cingular too and was also gonna say not to get a razr...but if that's what you're set on...

I've been using the MDA for the last year. It is by no means perfect but it's still pretty damn nice. Works well as a phone, camera is decent, and works good as a media player. You can buy 4gb minisd cards for it for only $40 on ebay.

That dash is probably pretty good though.

who you gonna call...wimpbusters

If its a new actyivation, look online for phone deals. They will be significantly cheaper. I have an MDA,and love it. I would buy a dash in a heartbeat

I have had my razr for a year now, and never had an issue with it. I probably drop it at least once a day and the only thing that ever happens is the battery cover comes off.

I plan on getting a razor next month. I've been waiting so patiently for my 2 years so I can get the $150 rebate from Sprint. ::)

pulled the trigger today, and got the v3t. they dropped the price again, so i got it for 85 and i can send in the rebate in a couple weeks.

already put like 10 atmosphere songs on it and i am going to cut and edit my own ------- ringtones when go into work next. so much easier with the micro SD to get ---- done. not sure if i can drop videos on to it wand watch them, but ill try at some point.

I know I'm late, but dayum if all you wanted was free calls to selected people? You get 10 (!!!) with Alltell, and it doesn't affect your minutes at all.. Sorry I'm late tho...

Re: i know i have started too many cellphone threads, buuut....
 
I think the razr is overrated. You will like it for the first couples of month and get tired of it after. The software sucks, the reception / sound quality of phone conversation is not that impressive. I had friends complaining about hearing interference / buzz noise when I had mine. It's a nice looking phone, but if you have a choice, go with something different. On the other side everybody and their gramas, cousins, sisters, uncles, nephew, aunt, daughters,... have a razr, so why not :-\ .

Lost your sense of autonomy and comfortable feeling of distance you've grown a custom to over time?

Felt like taking a stab in the dark.

Eh, no, I'm in an engineering curriculum in a non-liberal arts environment, I don't get much by the way of political wackjobs trying to subsume my identity with their humanist agendas. Aside from having to drop my what-should-have-been-babycakes Crit Thinking class because the UN-employable divinities-grad adjunct hated me, which is maybe 6% of my angst, it's nothing school related. I see where you're coming from, but I've been through enough bullshit in my life that school is quite trivial to me. I made Dean's List last semester, sleeping half the time folded up on a loveseat, while my momma recovered from having her kidney out.

It was a good try, but I'm a lot shallower than that. I was getting ready to take girl A home - as in getting ready, it was a done deal - when girl B I haven't seen since I dated her last year rolls up. Long story short, girl A got miffed even though I tried to politely yet obviously get rid of girl B, and I went home alone. I'm pretty bitter right now about the nature of boy-girl relations, and the fact I repeatedly entrust my ejaculatory functions to such illogical creatures.

sounds more like bitterness than apathy. it also sounds like girl b had it out to cock block you, you should have been more rude.

Tom-Guy 02-20-2007 11:23 AM

Re: i know i have started too many cellphone threads, buuut....
 
Girl B is guileless, and I think she wanted the JDick. She also promptly left when she saw girl A's body language, but damage done. I may be bitter about women, but am apathetic about life in general. I dunno how I got up this morning and made it to school.

I just got a Samsung a900. I went to get a Razor, but the girl talked me out of it. She said they have had nothing but problems with them and the guy behind me in line said he was there to complain that his Razor was a pile of ----. :l

This phone is crazy. It's got a ton of ---- I don't even want to know how to use, but I can't figure out how to use the music I downloaded from my computer as ringers? I got them on the phone, but I can't seem to find the option to use them for a ringer. :1
