AT&T Cell phone opinions please

[JCasper]

I've needed one for a long time but I think I'm ready now.



I spend a lot of time sitting around, I need my Internet to entertain me





I think I am going to order a Samsung Blackjack II or the LG VU. The reviews rate the Samsung pretty well and my current Samsung has been very durable.



Not so sure about the Blackberries, any opinions there?

I considered this one, but some reviews don't do so well for it

From a long time AT&T customer - LG's were bad - Sony Ericson phones are great. Service has been very good anywhere we go.

I have a Blackjack 2.

I really like them and have had zero issues with it. I had a Blackjack 1 and it was a POS and failed which is how I got into the second version. Good solid unit that works well... ... Andy

I guess you'll probably get a thousand different opinions on this one...

We originally had 5 motorolas on the family plan, and although very old school, they held up great.

After that, came a batch of Nokias. Some (6108, 6126, N75, N95, etc) offer impressive features, but for me Nokias all start doing funny things after about a year, and give up the ghost all together as the 2 year mark approaches.

My GFs got a Sony Ericson on the plan, and it is very flakey, cutting itself off randomly and repeatedly. Call quality is mediocre.

I've got a Motorola Z9 now, and it seems very well constructed. It gets excellent service, and appears much better quality in many ways than other phones I've tried...

ATT has a Motorola Q which is similar to my Motorola Q 9c with Sprint. Check it out, this phone has been the best I have ever had. I have the larger battery and I only have to charge it once a week. Easy texting if you use it, great signal, calls are crystal clear as well and you can do anything you want with it.

I like that phone.



I am going to try and swing by the AT&T store and see if I can look at one.



It has crazy battery life, check that out

I don't need the fancy stuff and have had great luck with my last 3 Nokia phones. I'll probably aquire a 6655 when they become available.

My wife and I both have the Nokia 6555.

She put hers through the wash. We dried it out a few days in front of the heater duct. It still works fine.

We dont do the IM or picture thing. Theyre strictly phones to us. I honestly dont know if theyre even capable of anything else. But theyre fine as phones.

Before this we has LG's. They were OK. I like the Nokias better.

Well crap, I ended up with an iphone



We will see in a few days how I like it.

I prefer the simple phones - no camera, no browser, no MP3 player, no GPS, no hinge to break, no nothing but just a phone with enough memory to store 30 or so phone numbers. I have a Nokia 2610 and it works everywhere I've tried it and the battery lasts for days on end on a single charge. I could get any of their phones I want for cheap (employee discount), I just don't need all the extra features that are crammed into phones these days.

I have been with Verizon (formerly Airtouch) for MANY years and have had several phones. I first had a Motorola "bag phone" which I kept until about 2 years ago. It was the all around best phone for signal strength, ability for a half deaf guy to hear on and ease of use. Not portable, as you know. I have had LG phones ever since and been very happy with them. I have the VX10000 ("Voyager") and really like it, as I do some internet use and a LOT of texting.
