I just got a Virgin Mobile Switchback cell phone off ebay the other day, still sealed for $85. I like the convenience of a no-contract phone and with a full QWERTY keyboard, camera, and other nice features like speakerphone, web browsing, and voice dial, the Switchback was just the phone for me. What phone & service do you use? Here's a link to the Switchback specs and review: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1959506,00.asp
One of the most fucked up Mobile service, and a very crapy Nokia phone Service: Reliance Telecommunication India Mobile Pic -
There aren't too many otions up here in Vermont due too poor coverage, so I use UNICEL with a Motorola cell phone.
I've got an i880 from Nextel (now sprint) which sucks as of late.. Had 2megapixel camera, 2GB mini disk, MP3 player, video camera, blue tooth, etc.. The works.. In short, it SUCKS!!! For another 100 bucks I could have bought an iPhone.. I'm pretty close to just canning spring/nextel for good.. Coverage has gone to shit, I miss calls, drop calls, the phone's MP3 player does not work half the time. For a 2 megapixel camera phone, the quality SUCKS!!! Had an i730c prior to this and never had a problem.. I hate cell phones!
I had Nextel when I was in upstate NY and found the service mediocre. Here's a pic of my phone by the way:
Nextel did not always suck... They were bought by sprint and made to suck... Kinda like how Cingular does not suck, but now that they are the 'new AT&T", given enough time, they too will suck..
