Well, last year I got my first cell phone ever.

It was a Motorola T720 from Cingular.
I have to say, I was very happy with that phone. I was on a GSM network, and I never had any dropped calls, and I rarely had any bad reception. The worst was during that 2 day black-out. I paid $30.00 a month for Local 300 anytime, and ULTD N&W, plus $3 extra for 100 txt per/mo.

Rest in Peace T720, because tomarrow, my new cell arrives.

Since my dad works with GM, he gets a Nextel discount, so I ended up getting a Motorola i730. I thought about getting the new i830, but that was still really expensive with the discount. Besides, it's only a year contract. I'm sure Nextel will have something better next year for me.

Anywho, its like $34.00/mo for National 500 anytime, ULTD N&W, and 100 Direct Connect.

I also bought a data cable and got some bitchin' ringtones. (Which I can put up if anyone wants some? :))

So yeah, I'm excited! :D

Some may get the vibe that I'm one of those people who are really obnoxious with their mobile since I'm so excited, but don't worry, I'm not! I won't talk and drive, and I won't be one of those people who will have a D.C. conversation in front of everyone. I find that beep thing kinda annoying anyways. Besides, I think one can D.C. without a speakerphone too..... I think?

Alright, well... do leave some comments! :)

i don't really understand the concept of direct connect -- is it like a walkie talkie? and if so, are those 100 minutes billed by the second?

I'm sorry but Nextel sucks unless you're getting it for free from your work. Even for free, it sucks.

it's funny that you try to make a joke about it, but the story is most likely true. Your are the king of nerds

i still have the same one i had a year ago, and like i said above will have it for another year

my moms cellphone has to be at least 4 years old, and teh only reason my dad got a newer one is because teh battery on his old one died and he couldent get a replacement so he had to get a new phone, he was actually pissed about that

I hate nextel, and that stupid walkie talkie crap. Every time I see someone using it I feel like ripping the phone out of their hand and throwing it in traffic.

Oh, and my Nokia 3200 > all :)
