Yeah, I didn't think I'd text much either, but it's a great alternative to talking. My friend is a whiz on the keypad for typing messages, christ. Whenever I send him a message I get one back in less than ten seconds.

Some phones have T9 Predictive text input...

instead of tapping multiple times to get a letter just type a number combo...

for the word don't... u type 3, 6, 6, 8 and a number of words come up as a possibility of what your trying to type.

since D is on three, and O, and N is on 6 and T is on 8.... it will appear DONT...

It's a cool feature, makes things faster.

Oh, I know about it. I hate how it finds ways to turn itself on every once in a while.

just having entered this thread but not read anything

I just got a new phone. I've been with sprint pcs since they launched in like 99 or whenever they launched. I like em, I'm happy.

I just got a Sanyo 8200 I think. It's red, it's cool it plays MobiTV and takes pictures. Games on the phones are retarded, keep using a gameboy for that.

the MobiTV is cool... streaming audio and about 1 fps..... 10 minute delay from live tv, and it's pretty nice to have.

Three excellent cell phones in 1.5 months, you're disgustingly rich and powerful...

mines a flip nokia...7200
and there are tons of new nokia flip phones out in the market now...
if youre looking for an afforadable gadget-full phone with video cameras and the whole lot...take a look at BenQ....if you dont care much bout brand names BenQ phones are really userfriendly and the cameras/colour screens beat nokia's quality flat...Cause its a taiwanese brand...its fairly inexpensive...but it doesnt slack in quality....just make sure it supports GSM in your area...

If phone calls are what you wanna make, get my phone...cause it does nothing else.

Got T-Mobile. It sucks everywhere but in Manhattan for me...and seeing as I don't live in Manhattan... Eh, it's cheap.

If nothing else it's a nice clock.

The one GM posted, the V3, is a very nice phone. It has almost everything you could get these days, and it's very thin.

I use a 6600, and the best part of it is the Symbian OS. Tons of programs and games for it.

The V3 doesn't have symbian as far as I know.

Im suprised nobody has mentioned this, but if you really dont plan on using your phone much, I would suggest pre-paid. Ive got Virgin Mobile, and Im liking it a lot. The minutes are much cheaper than Tracphone, and text messages are just like anywhere else, 10 cents to send, free to recieve. But if you plan on using the phone a lot, dont get a pre-paid. You will definatley end up paying more. But right now with my minimal usage, I can get by pretty easily with spending only 20 bucks every 2 months, maybe even less.
