Cell phones!

We have a MP3 thread, so I thought I'd make a cell phone thread [and maybe because I was just discussing phones at work ]

So, what phone do you have? When did you get it? Who is the service with? What kind of plan do you have? Any other phone you want?

Have: BlackBerry Tour 9630
Got it: January 4, 2010 (when my Pearl crapped out)
Service: Verizon
Plan: 1400 share talk minutes, 500 texts, unlimited data (smartphone)
Other phone may want: Looked at the HTC Thunderbolt, coming out this week at the convention. Maybe ask for birthday present Rob always gets mad I don't keep phones as long as he does. I've been avoiding touch screens but it looks/sounds sweeeeet.

I have an iPhone 4 that I got in August. I absolutely LOVE it! Service is with AT&T and I think I'm in the lowest plan. I was told by the Apple people that if wi-fi is available I should keep 3G turned off. That will save the data minutes.

Anyway we had super old, cheap phones before, and my husband wouldn't even turn his on except when he wanted to make a call. Now he uses the iPhone all the time!

My husband had a Motorola flip phone for about 3 years before getting a new phone in November. His battery cover didn't even stay on anymore, it had metals shavings in the microphone, and the battery died daily. He could throw it on the ground, break it in 5 pieces, reassemble, and it'd work like new If you look at my phone the wrong way, it breaks He is anti-smartphone! He only likes my "crackberry" when he needs/wants the Internet and we're somewhere without access to a computer Maybe one day he'll change. He upgraded to a tough flip phone in November with talk/text capabilities, that's it He keeps complaining I don't keep phones long, but in the smartphone world, new technology comes around often! I kept my old flip for 3 years, then got a Blackberry in '09, a year later it broke and got another... Now the Android phones are looking pretty nice. He's gonna beat me over the head with my phone!

Our area only gets reliable AT&T service, plus the only one with 3G. USCellular can be spotty and T-Mobile is worse than that.

So because of that I went with a Motorola Flipside a couple of months ago because I wanted an android phone with a QWERTY keyboard, and preferably something that would fit into my pocket as I do not carry a purse. I've not had any problems with it so far.

We have
700 talk minutes, shared (I think the accumulated roll over is close to 5,000)
Unlimited texting on both phones (considering that each of us can send 700-900 texts a month, this is a must! )
2GB data plan

Not exactly a cheap bill, though we can save another $20 or so if DH gets his corporate discount set up.

If size wasn't an issue I would have went with a Samsung Captivate. I also considered the Motorola Bravo, though it lacks a keyboard. If Verizon even serviced our area I'd probably have a Droid 2. Overall I like some of the included Motorola apps (pc portal, the task killer, etc), Motoblur is bleh - easily replaced, though.

I got an HTC Wildfire (Android) right before Christmas with Vodafone - unlimited data and calls. It's a step up from my old smartphone, which was falling apart.

I have a pink, Samsung Cleo. It's cute, but I don't use it much. I have it in case of emergencies, and so that I'm easy to get a hold of with fostering/adoptions. There are a few people I text but not many. I have a basic plan with Bell.

Both DH and I have the Droid X and we love it. Haven't had it all that long. Through Verizon with 700 minutes shared between DH, me and my MIL (we just pay for her line). The data package for both phones. And we have unlimited texting (DH has discovered that he really enjoys texting with me while we're at work! ), unlimited internet, email, etc.

700 minutes is more than enough for us because my relatives and friends are all on Verizon as well.

Haven't looked at other phones since we discovered the Droids.

I use a kyocera tracfone which I got last spring. It's one of those cell phones that you can only use for calls and texts. I would love to get an iPhone... not sure when I will be getting one of those, though!

I have a Palm Pre Plus that I got in November. My plan is Verizon.

HTC DESIRE....AND I LOVE IT!!!

I have a Nokia phone and rarely use it so I am on the pay as you go program with T-Mobile. In fact I just came back from the T-Mobile store and bought $20 worth of minutes.

Since I have been on the new Optimum Triple Play which is in my area, my land line phone can be used to call anywhere in the USA and Puerto Rico and elsewhere without long distance being charged. I use my cell phone only for emergencies and always carry it with me in the car. I love it since there are no contracts to sign.

ditto I love mine, I have unlimited net and texts and 900 mins a month I'm on Orange mine is the hd model

My husband and I both got Droid 2 phones at the beginning of December. We have a completely unlimited plan (texts, minutes, data) through Verizon. I would love an HTC but the one I want isn't carried by Verizon.

I have the Iphone 3GS that I got from a friend when he upgraded to the Iphone 4. I love it!
As far as my plan:
AT&T
450 daytime minutes
5000 N&W
Unlimited mobile to mobile
2GB data
and about 3000 roll over minutes.

I love my phone I just wish I had unlimited Data!

I use a Tracfone, flip phone. I love it.

I have a blackberry storm. I've been using it for like 8 or 9 months, it used to be my husbands. It's through Bell and I have unlimited text, 200 (I think) minutes and 500mb of data. I want to get a blackberry torch soon. Hopefully in a couple weeks.

I have the new Nexus S and it's lovely

Blackberry Curve & I hate it I'm with Verizon & I can't wait until I find a phone I like so I can get a new one

Have: BlackBerry Curve 8330

Got it: May 2010

Service: Boost

Plan: Unlimited everything (Talk, text, internet) all of 60 a month and it will drop down 5 bucks every 6 months until it reaches 45 a month as long as we pay on time

Other phone may want: An Android but they came out a month or two after we got the blackberry. They also have another blackberry model that came out a few months after I bought my current one that I would like to upgrade to eventually.

We "left" Sprint for Boost. The reason I put the "" is Boost is owned by Sprint. We just left the contract behind

I've had the above phone for the last couple of years. I only use it to make calls and the occassional text. Half of the time I leave it in the car when going to (and coming from) work. I have no interest in iphones, androids, or any other fancy phone.
