Dan208 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 I\'m looking at getting a smart phone (my first one) and I need some suggestions for a good phone and provider. I\'ve been doing some research and it looks like my best bet for my area is going to be AT&T or Verizon. It doesn\'t look like T-Mobile has coverage in my area, and I\'ve been told by multiple people to avoid Sprint. As far as phones, I don\'t really need anything with a lot of bells and whistles. Some things that I am looking for are: Touch screen (would be nice to have a keyboard too) Expandable memory Camera/camcorder GPS would be nice, but it\'s not a necessity I\'ve found a few that I like, but I don\'t want to get stuck with a piece of junk. Budget is around $100 or so. Any suggestions? Quote Feedback thread- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/70871-dan208-feedback-thread/page__p__981961__hl__dan208__fromsearch__1entry981961

CheezyMane13 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 I have a iPhone and I love it. I have been with At&T for years, ever since it was Ameritech, and Cingular. There coverage area is good and the iPhones are amazing. Also AT&T gets tons of new phones in each year. Make it a poll???

It had spotty coverage and slow 3G They dont have coverage anywhere. My girl had Tmo and hates it. The only thing she likes is the monthly bill. I wonder why she made sure her phone had wifi... I would suggest the LG Ally. Its not out yet but based on what you said, I think you'd like it..btw it has Android http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5331 Edited May 24, 2010 by hdorre Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread

Dan208 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks for all the quick replies. AT&T recently installed a tower in town (we\'ve had HORRIBLE cell coverage for years, rural areas FTL) and now my Tracfone gets full reception even in buildings. I saw lots of people at the high school graduation last week using their phones in the school gym (solid concrete walls). I just got done talking to a buddy and he said that Verizon\'s coverage in this area is terrible. Looks like I\'ll probably go with AT&T. I\'m not too sure about the iPhone (bandwagon, much?) but a few of their phones I\'ve been looking at are: Motorola Backflip HP iPaq Glisten Blackberry Curve 8520 (although it doesn\'t have a touch screen) I might up the price and spend a little more, but probably no more than $150.
