I am old-fashioned. Im still using smoke-signals, pony express, and telegrams. One day i will get a cell-phone and quit being stone aged.

Before cell shopping, hit ebay.

A friend got my 200 dollar phone for 45 bucks.

Caution....phones are brand specific!!!

Verizon Wireless uses CDMA towers.

I loved my MO T720, I talk to a lot of people who have problems with them, but I think it is mostly user error.

I have KY 2235, after I accidently 'user errored' water all over my T720.

Nokia 8265. Does all i need it to do. Ive dropped it a few times and its still goin strong.

samsung a-500... i got it for free when my old LG 5350 took a crap on me, but to be honest, i'd rather still have the lg. o-well.

T720, I like the user interface on it better than other phones.

Little bit upgraded from the other Moto users.

I have a Motorola T721.
Anyone know how much more advanced mine is?

I'm stupid and got AT&T Wireless, it's gsm and the coverage around here, Central PA is significantly below spectacular.

This is my first cell.

I don't have a cell, but I really want one for my birthday in May. Could you give me some advice? I'm looking for a very 'neat' phone, preferably flip or slide, not TOO expensive, camera?, games, style :) . I live in Canada, are there any phones that I won't be able to use here (never had cell before)? I will not be a heavy phone user...
I would like to find a phone that I can buy here. Is ordering over Ebay a good option? Thanks!!

I've got an Siemens S55, had it for over a year and after they fixed some bugs in the firmware it became a really nice phone.

My phone sucks! Kyocera 2135...bah.
My girlfriend just bought a Motorola V400...sweeeet phone; camera, mp3 ringtones, FM tuner, the whole bit (read: stuff no one would ever need)

THe Samsung SGH-S300 looks just like mine kinda I have the Samsung SCH-A310 But I am going to trade it in when my contract is up in a week to get the Samsung slide I loved it when I saw it !!!!
It is also in color. I Love the get it now ring tone downloader !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Sanyo VM4500 (SCP-5500). I abosultely love it! It has a lot of features such as: Camera/Video capabilities, Call screening, Ready-Link, web browser, etc..

It's a little expensive ($379 retail), but for something that I use all the time, it's definately worth it!

LG VX6000
So far, I haven't been able to find too much about it I dislike.

LG VX6000 also.

What an awesome phone.

Motorola T720i. I need to get a new phone though. I have dropped this damn thing so many times. :|

I've got a Kyocera 1135 and its the biggest piece of crapola ever. It gets dust and other various crap UNDER the outer screen and it sticks, and there's no way to get it out. Cover on the 1135 doesn't come off so it can't be cleaned. It seems to be ok at night when its backlit (still have trouble telling battery life or how strong my signal is) but during the day when the sunlight hits it...all you can see it dust, forget about reading the screen.

POS.

The oldest freaking phone out there, with the LOUDEST beep when you turn it on....

MPX200

sweet phone feature wise, mp3, web, smartphone

Only bad thing is it sucks battery life like anything I have ever scene, 2 days is bout max stand by. Just to small a battery

Here's the phone I wish I could get

I have deep seated dislike ('hate" is too strong a word) for cell phones. It irks me enough as it is when the phone in my apartment rings and I enjoy being out of immediate contact in most cases.
I do use one for work at times when driving company vans/outings with clients/etc and would consider acquiring one if work or any kind of future wife/family situation gave me good reason.

Question... I live where none of the big (sprint, att, verizon etc) cell companies provide service and the local companies have a horrible selection of phones. I thought I read somewhere about how you can rig your phone, or phones that had "patches" or something so that you could use say a sprint phone on a different network. Am i nuts or is this possible?? Anyone else suffer from this problem or am I the only one living in the boonies.

Are you serious?

LG VX6000. Bad ass phone. Got in trouble for taking some pictures I shouldn't have. YIKES....

I have the SE t616.. It is one awesome phone. I love the joystick thing to play games with. :) Plus, it is tiny.

Hell yeah I'm serious. That phone (while it is a collector's item) is awesome as crap and loaded with features. I'd definitely get one if 1) There were more than 500 in the world and 2) didn't cost $500-$1000 at the time they were released and now that they're available on ebay.

I too have the lg vx6000.

It's a great phone, and with the data cable you can add pics and ringtones free (20 bucks at radioshack)

Now i'm waiting for someone to crack the brew 2.0 system so I can start downloading games and apps onto it.

spived2, same boat I am in heh. Someone figure out Brew2 so I can get free shit! Games / ringtones are expensive!

But ya, same phone as ^ .. LGVX6000. Good phone, excellent reception and range. Yay.

I've got a Samsung N400. Its lasted me about two years, and hasn't screwed up yet. I'm too cheap to get a new one.

Nokia 3595. Although nothing beats my dad's old
Wilcom Cellular Car Phones.

I have the exact same one...it's only blue and black screen but it is bright and it is loud for ringing and also it vibrates...the battery life isn't too shabby......It's durable as hell and accesories are easy to find (i tend to wear out the replacable part of my screen alot.

still using my old Nokia 3310 ... won't replace it until it's broken :-)

but one thing i'm sure of : nokia 4 ever !

I havea motorola startac...best phone every made in my opinion.

Nokia 6820, the asian version, with T-mobile Service

Samsung N400

Motorola V66g over T-Mobile.

Simple, small, standby life of like 5 days. I love my phone. Don't have many black-out areas; can't and won't complain one bit about the phone or service.

BTW, got $50 for picking this phone too. But that essentially paid for the activation anyway.

I just bought the ericson T630. I love it. So many toys to play with...

My Bee-Beep, I've beaten the shit out of this phone and it still loves me.

Does anyone know of a site that offers cell phone service provider reviews? Basically where it tells you the reception in various places?

Love this phone. It does what i want. Calls people. Occasional text message. Movie times.

LG VX6000 Camera flip.
