Default cell phone reviews

so my contract with cingular expires in a few days and gonna switch plans...and that means get to choose new phone phones have come quite a ways since I got my 3360. They offer several free choices: Samsung X427M, LG C1300, Sony Ericsson T237, Nokia 6010, Siemens C61. From just reading the blurb on cingular website the ericsson seems the best choice as it has the most battery time by far....but I dont like how it looks at all (form over function though). I dont care about ringtones (have my current phone set to beep once and then vibrate) so disregard that.

anyones experience with these phones? or a site that reviews phones?

It depends what you want outta a cell fone, I got one of the new Motorola 710 fones and itll do whatever the hell i want it too.. but then again rents paid like 400 for it after it was all said and done. I also have a i730 which is from my dads company.. when anyone needs to get in touch w me they just 2 way me.. basically a company fone. Its nice too but for the same price as the 710 it does way way less.

Ask people in the areas you plan to use the phone how they like their service.

Every carrier has good and bad areas; there is no carrier that has "the best" national coverage.

Talk to your friends about what they have. Everyone is always so focused on the phone and features it offers, they forget to learn about the carrier and coverage.

Generally, you get what you pay for.

PS, I'm partial to the Blackberry.

Great phone if you wanna pay.

i think tmobile has a deal now for the 600 where you hardly pay anything.

I dont want to pay for a phone. I also am not switching carriers...never asked about them.... I just wanted to know if anyone knew a website that reviews phones so I can compare the models listed in the original post.


thanks for the website it looks like it could have what im looking for.
