im in the market for a new phone. the one i am on currently with At&t is a samsung flip phone, but its the second one ive had in a year and both get the same problems. signal here one second, gone the next. try and make a call and "call not allowed" or "call failed" before it even makes a connection.
i have also been through 2 motorolas, not happy with them
id hate to drop the dime on the I-phone, so im thinking of a Nokia 6555.
anyone have any phones they are happy with??

 

I got an iPhone about 2 months ago. I really enjoy it. It helps me keep all of my assignments together for class. It's deffinately a luxury item though.

 

iPhone. Rocks! I get so much use out of this thing. I get light years more use than I did with my TREO 750. For me it was well worth the money.

 

I have a cheap Nokia.

I make phone calls; I get phone calls.

That's about it.

 

Blackberry Pearl.

I just picked up a brand new warranty replacement for it today. Battery release button fell off, trackball sticks (only trying to scroll up), it recently started disconnecting from the EDGE network and ending up on GPRS which meant no data sending or receiving for some reason. Lastly the thing did not physically wear well at all. All of these are things they acknowledged as common when I arrived there today. I was told I'm the 8th person today to get a warranty replacement for the Pearl.

Aside from that, I dig the BlackBerry abilities, great web browsing, and it WAS a decent phone up until recently. I'm hoping to get another 6 months out of it to see if anything new comes after the Curve.

If you're limited to BB due to your office or anything (like me because of our BB Enterprise Server) it's a great way to go.

 

my SE P1i is the shiznit!

but the dropping of calls could possibly be due to the service more than the phone itself. i mean you have gone through all those phones with the same problem, could be time for a new carrier.

 

LG Chocolate with Verizon

Pros: Looks nice, its a slider phone (which I wanted), great picture quality, semi-large screen, half touch features, great speakers for music/ringtones.

Cons: Sometimes makes random phone calls due to the phone unlocking after something touches the side keys by accident, small numbers making texting quite difficult, battery life could be better, and sometimes the phone lags after using the touch features.

 

Sounds like you got the Samsung C417. We had plenty of issues and complaints from customers regarding that phone. But I could be wrong.

I got the Blackberry 8800 and <3 it. Very simple and easy to use. But it all depends on what you like and would be a good idea to put down what you prefer in a phone. IMHO I'm not very fond of the iPhone. IIRC lack of mass test and picture message. I'm a die hard QWERTY type a guy and I'm an impatient person to poke poke at each letter

AT&T/Cingular hasn't been up to standards with their reception ever since the title change. Feels good to quit Cingular corp.

 

I have 2 Motorola Razr V3's
Pros:
- great shape and look
- big bright screen
- camera is decent quality
- hackable, software makes it easy to download pictures and video to computer..also makes it easy to upload java games and mp3's for free
- quad band, I can use it when i visit europe
- gets reception everywhere
- good sound quality

Cons:
- not meant to be dropped (or so i've heard)
- not a ton of storage space

 

Definitely not meant to be dropped, my buddy went through 4 of them in a year. They seemed to lack durability.
