My wireless phone contract ends in August. That means I get to shop for a new phone ... woohoo! The iPhone is super nice, but I don't think I want to spend more than $500 on a phone. I know, it's more than just a phone, but I already have a video iPod and the only times I've ever used Internet on my phone are to find movie times and phone numbers of local restaurants.I played around with my friend's BlackBerry Pearl and I like that it's sleek and compact. But I'm not sure if I could get used to the double letters on each key pad. I'm accustomed to a full-size key pad, so I've been spoiled. I guess as it gets closer to August, I'll check out cell phones in more detail. In the meantime, I'll do some window shopping and research online.
So help a girl out here, I need some ideas! When June 29 comes around, will you be one of the first people to get the iPhone? What cell phone do you have and how do you like it? Or, what's on your wish list for cell phones?This week's top searched cell phones and smart phones on AOL Search:
1) iPhone
2) BlackBerry
3) Sidekick iD
4) Sidekick 3
5) BlackBerry Pearl
6) BlackBerry Curve

Why don't the manufacturers let the phone be a phone instead of trying to turn a phone into something else.By the time you want to make that important call your battery may be gone.$500 for a phone?I'll get me a laptop.Ridiculous. http://rn4state.bryxen1.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SEO

I know I am a Dinosaur as far as cell phones, I want the simplest one there is. I still feel cell phones are only for emergency and that's it.

Give me the Nokia N95 any day. May not be as flashy as the IPhone, but it does MUCH more than either the IPhone or the Curve. It's another innovative stealth much like the Nokia 6600 was when it was released years ago as one of the first smartphones. The N95 really is a computer. It would be worth buying an infrared keyboard or a bluetooth or foldable cloth keyboard for.

Treo 680, is a great phone. I'm a full time student and i work full time as well so it help to have a phone that i can keep my calendar up to date. if you ask me the iphone is too much and it will also be a very expencive phone bill with all that can do.

I have a Treo 680 and absolutely hate it, I wish I had done more research and had the opportunity to read comments from current Treo owners. The Treo is a waste of money and FYI - it's not Vista compatible. I have been going back and forth with Palm and Cingular to return it.

Just got the Motorola Maxx Ve and love it. The numbers are big, and the display showing who's calling is large enough to read without my reading glasses. A plus for those over 40.

A phone that isnt up there that should be is the smart phone. i have one myself and love it, it has everything i would ever need but it is not for the average american, it more of a business phone, it has windows, microsoft word, excel and power point and many other programs you can also put music on the phone and add extra memory.. i wouldnt trade it for anyother phone out there, and it is durable ( i am clumbsy and cant count how many times i have dropped that phone)

the virgin mobil 18 cents a minute pay as you go plan is purfect for me for an emergency and vacation phone. it was $22 for the phone shipping and the first 125 minutes. recharges are $20 and good for 90 days. so its less than $7 a month, no contract, left over minutes carry over and can be reloaded in between if i use the phone. i got the oyster flip phone. beam me up scotty.

I only buy Samsung phones! They have the best batteries, large numbers, and are the most reliable.

I have the Nextel i 580.. Its better than those little girly phones

I was once against expensive phones until my girlfriend gave me a $750.00 Treo 700 as a christmas present. I use the internet, the camera to send pictures for work claims, I use my calandar, I listen to Ibooks when I am waiting in line, I listen to music, I browse family photos, and talk to my friends. All wrapped up in my pda phone, my palm treo. I would pay $1000.00 for a phone that is more convienient then my current phone; and I will surely lay down the money for the new IPhone when it is available.

What???????? Blogging about a stupid cell phone choice??? What the hell is wrong with this country? Who the hell cares! The world is having a major crisis. This country is under threat of becoming Fascist and you are preoccupied with a damned phone??
You will be begging for water at the rate we are going. Shame on you for not spending your time on more important issues.

Treo 680 = perfect phone. It is very affordable especcially considering what it can do: email, internet, music, movies, microsoft documents, camera, ebooks,voice memo. But the greatest feature is the thousands of third party programs you can download that give the treo countless great features. you can turn your phone into a dictionary, card reader, or video game console.
