It actually depends on your cell phone provider and what models are compatible with their system. So first I would check out Point.com but from personal experience and word of mouth nothing beats Nokia. There's a reason they're the #1 cell phone manufacturer becuase they kick some serious a$$.

I used to think Nokia was the only game in town. But Ive been using a MITSUBISHI for a while and have gotten used to it.

PS. I hate phones with tiny keys. No, tiny is not better. Makes it hard to dial and drive :p

I love my Motorola StarTac 7868W. Great phone, super reception, and very low radiation.

I just got the same StarTac (on sale now for $99 at Radio Shack)with Verizon 5-State Regional service & I'm pretty satisfied so far. I get 200 anytime, 2000 weekend minutes for $29.99 a month with no roaming or long distance charges as long as I am calling FROM my 5-State calling area.

I like my Samsung 6100 but it lacks games, so Nokia is the way to go I guess.

no offense or anything, i wouldn't turn down an 8890 if someone offered me one, but i seriously can't imagine spending the amounts people do on cell phones.

dialing + dialing = bad

just don't do it, if not for your sake, then for mine and everyone else on the road

most new cell phones have voice activated dialing, flip it open and say a name and you're connected, you never have to take your eyes off the road through the entire call.

Mine's nothing, look at the people in Hong Kong, they change their cell phones about once every 3 months, whenever there's a new phone out. For realz...

Plus, to me it's worth it, I used my hard working money on it, not like it's from my daddy or mommy's :p
