Wireless Phones

[Astray]

So I've recently decided I need a new cell phone, my current one is from tmobile with n model number visible, basicly only has voicemail, text messaging, and a black and white screen...

I've been wanting something new with all the neat bells and whistles that would help make me more organized and productive, and easier to get ahold of.

The phone I've been looking at is a Blackberry 7130e from Verizon Wireless, I work with these alot at work, and I've grown very fond of them, very useful, and great quality.

Any cons about these that I should be aware of, or any better reccomendations?

Basically, my rule of thumb is to go with what works best for you in your area. Verizon has good coverage in lots of areas, but it is not so good in some areas like Central Oregon and parts ofthe rural West. Blackberry is a good system, but you have choices.

Personally I do not want to be easy to get hold of. I only turn my cell phone on when I want to make a call, and I give the number to very few people. When I travel, I use it to connect to the Internet by linking my laptop to its WAN.

if you're doing tmobile or verizon or sprint, wutever etc. 'cuz shipping is a hella pain in the neck, you know it~

make sure you get the rite phone the first time. you can check up on the tmobile forums and search for the phone you want and see what other users have to comment about it.

tmobile has nationwide coverage plans by the way, as does a lot of the other cell phone companies.

I just recently bought a LG VX8100, on Verizon. I really like this phone. It has all the bells and whistles. MP3 player, 1.3 megapixel camera, camcorder, up to a 1GB mini SD memory card, bluetooth...
