Verizon wireless customers
My contract is up and I'm due for an upgrade. I was thinking about getting either the droid, blackberry curve, G'zOne Rock, Or the Samsung Convoy. My motorola Adventure V750 is horrible. I definitely don't want to make the same mistake twice. :smash:
What do you guys have for phones? likes dislikes? |
I know a few with the Droid and they love it. If you have interest in the iPhone, the Droid is a good comparable that's provided by VZW
|
I've heard nothing but good reviews on the droid. I don't know if i'm getting a little carried away with going for a phone like that or sticking to a phone that i'm used to for calling and texting.

After you buy the phone, you have to also get the data package - about $30/month - and that's on top of whatever minute/text plan you have. |

i have never liked the idea that verizon sends you a paper bill in the mail ....sends you an email bill via the internet and then has the Audacity to ALSO send you a text message too that costs you 15 cents to receive it.... (that to me is a RIP) and it wouldn't matter if it was just a penny... it's the principle. the price for a cellphone is still astronomical ....they make them so slippery out of the smoothest plastic .....and that is a pain... i'd rather they were covered in rubber and were 100% water resistant. The 2 year contract i think is a JOKE when the technology changes in 6 months. Where i presently live you get dropped Allot and that is maddening .....drives me nuts. when the friggan cell phone rings my dog comes unglued. :doh: |

You need to update your settings: I don't get a paper bill only electronic (e-mail/txt notification that it has been billed to my cc). I get text/calls from Verizon at NO charge: $ or min (no I do not have txt messaging in my plan). BTW: standard txt charges are now $0.20! |
my wife wants to end the contract all together
and buy just the pre paid cheapos and throw one in each glove compartment for emergencies and live without them. 20 cents now? bass terds :wall: |

been thinking how we'd function without them..........
but soon wireless signal will be everywhere and i forgot to mention.... when ya call up verizon and pay your bill utilizing your cell phone and all its fancy shmancy technology... what do they do????? they send you another text message saying.... yo dude! you just paid your bill via cell phone :rotf2: and scalp you for another 20 cents... DOH :wall::wall: |

Picked up the Moto Droid in Dec and love it!
Monthly cost compared to my prior family plan (2 phones) is $5 more per month. The added features are great and addicting. I have access 24/7. I think of it more like a smaller netbook that has phone capability. So far, I've only downloaded free apps, the camera and video are great. |

On MSN home page you can probably get that phone free, yes I said FREE. about every thee weeks on MSN's homepage they come out with a 48 hour ad. promoting free phones and no set up fee.
I will keep an :eyes: or two open for the next time they have it. |

I normally do not pay much attention to the side bar advertisment. My wife had paid 350 bucks for hers. I'm a cheap-po person and I always look for the cheapest deal. Since I'm out of contract with mine I started looking 3 months ago and clicked on that 48 hour deal a few times, I showed her that she could have gotten her phone free. A lot of times that 48 hour deal has Verison, T Mobil and AT&T deals at the same time. I'm still looking but my monthly bill will go to 60 bucks a month from 40 bucks without all that other crap that you usually buy.
If you see that ad they will show one perticular phone on that page. Go to that page left side and you will see "more phones" click on that and another 50 differant phones will be there from what ever company. |
I ended up going with the Casio Gz One Rock. So far I'm loving it, the phone was bilt for me. shock proof, waterproof, dust proof, built in flashlight, compass, tide chart, moon phase, sunrise sunset. the thing is ridiculous. The Droid and all the other smart phones cost an extra $30 a month. I'm all set with that.

what does that one cost -n ya per month ....
if ya don't mind sayin... |
well i'm still on the family plan with my parents. unlimited texts 800 minutes. Its only 20bucks per month. cheaper that way

noproblems my old previous phones were always bathed in sawdust this one is a tank extended battery is awesome,5days I have not dunked it yet but it's a nice feature if needed |
I just Moto Droid'd. I had to pay the $30 extra for unlimited data download. Around home I find hooking up to my wireless the most efficient for web browsing. Lots of built in features and my clumsy fingers like either the electronic or slideout key boards.

as often as i drop mine
i think the unbreakable model will be our choice |

I have verizon through work and we are waiting on the iPhone thing to happen before we make our next purchases. I think the iPhone is really nice.
