Best cell phone?

[EPSkis]

Does nobody use Nextel??
Got the Motorola i730 - full function sans camera. All incoming free, all 2-way free.

Durability issues? http://nextelonline.nextel.com/websa...ll/i530y_s.gif

LG TM510 (Verizon, ebay $75, no frilly bomber flip phone with outstanding reception and manual tower select (ask me how), also other CDMA carriers. CDMA/AMPS triband) model is TP510 for Sprint.

LG makes a good phone IMO.

Motorola Startachs are bomber too.

Do not buy a Ericson T62u no matter how much the trimode quadband attracts you. It's a shitty phone.

I have a Motorola V60 you can have.

I have to for work and I hate it. That phone is uber bomber, the non-flip version even more so, it's actually made to a military spec. The nextel text messaging sux so bad it hurts.

DO NOT buy a Siemens (c61) - biggest piece of shit I've ever owned. (I swear to God they're making phones more and more cheaply to encourage folks to rebuy w/in a year.) My old Nokia was bomber, almost the size of a hoagie , but a fucking tank.

This one looks pretty sweet. No MP3 player, camera, etc. Just a phone.

I'm flying to London tomorrow to kick Roo's ass and take his Nokia 6630.

That phone was entirely too sparkly and bling for me. I prefer something a bit more rugged that I can just chuck in my pocket with a bunch of keys. I put it up on ebay and some dude gave me $900 for it. That pays for my lift tickets for the whole forthcoming season.

I have Verizon and use an LG VX6100 - Meh! IIt's kinda crappy.

If I could have ANY phone, I'd go with the new Motorola MotoRazor V3:

Super thin and all metal body = slick and durable.

Electro-luminescent keypad for the extra bling factor.

My old man just got one last week, pretty nice phone. Tough to dial without looking at the keys though.

That Nokia 6630 was pretty tough to dial without staring at the keypad. I tried to dial a friend's number and miskeyed one numeral. I got through to what sounded like a completely wacko who kept repeated "WHOOOOOO?". I hung up.

She phoned me back three times. I didn't answer any of these times, terminating the call. I called my mate and by the time I'd got off the phone, she'd called again.

I didn't think much more of this until later that evening when I was driving back from a meal with Mrs Roo, and my phone went. It rang off before she could answer it for me, so she called the number back.
"Hi, were you trying to get in touch with Roo?"
"WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU? WHOOOO?"
Mrs Roo hangs up. "Who was that fruitcake?" I explain.

A minute late we get a text message: "im soz but the man on this phone keeps ringing me all day"
I send one back "I misdialled a friend's number ONCE and you've called me back at least five times. Stop it. Now."
To which I get "how abou u fuck off u cunt"
Classy.

If you've got nothing better to do today or merely want a bit of fun, please feel free to call +44 7745 736 885 and try to sell her an LS900 or something. Do bar your number ID first though.

That was totally the phone's fault.

I couldn't find the "Bar All Mentalists" menu. Poor product design.

i have a nokia 5150 or something. it's not a flip phone, and it doesn't have a color screen, which makes it durable and the battery lasts for a good long time. the only feature besides phone calls and text messaging is that you can open beer bottles with it. i have thrashed mine and not damaged it, except the last phone i had, which i smashed with an ice tool upon recieving a phone bill with some high roaming charges. i can operate when gloved or drunk.

seriously, screw these flimsy little flip phones, you can't open beers with them or throw them at things when angry.
