Still lookin for ideas, if there are anymore comments out there.

 

If you sign with a new company, you can probably get them to pay your contract penalty fee if you agree to switch. I have heard of it but never done it...might be worth a try.
I am actually thinking of trying this myself cause i have a 2 year contract agreement with cingular and have thought of changing before 2 years is up.

 

I have done that before switching from alltel to cingular and they paid my fees to cancel my contract early.

 

nextel has GPS capabilitys on all of there phones, just something to think about

 

Pretty much all Verizon phones are GPS capable. They have the new blackberry's too. Very nice, can be used anywhere in the US or Europe, maybe South America too. I have been with verizon for many years and they are great. If you want a plan for the blackberry though, it will cost ya a little more for the data capabilities. One phone that I have heard a lot of really good things about is the LG Envy, but it is spelled a little different. Check those out. It is a Bar phone that opens with a real nice sized keyboard on the inside. Pic, vid, bluetooth, expandable memory slot for mini SD cards. Very nice unit even if you have big hands for the keyboard. Check it out.

The Moto Q is pretty nice too from Verizon. I would not get one because I have big hands, but it might be really nice for a female.

 

I have been pretty happy with Verizon. Dont forget the new Ipod phone is coming out.

 

I don't know about other parts of the country but here in florida nextel is known as maybe nextime you'll get service. I can get service with verizon a lot further out in the boonies than the nextel people...but the merge with sprint has done loads for their service...basically go to the mall, let the little lady go around to the different kiosks, find the phone she likes and get service with those that have that phone.

 

Nextel SUCKS, I am currently trying to get out of my contract with them. I have 11 phones that I am still trying to switch back to Cingular. I had my personal phone switched from Nextel to Sprint as a courtesy of Nextel and it sucks also.

The only good thing about Nextel is that I get the unlimited everything for 99.00 plus a 30% corporate account discount so I cannot complain about the rates. Coverage though it is TERRIBLE.

 

I'll be playing this game shortly also and Verizon is the only company I'd deal with besides Nextel. (depends on your area)

I'll have to check the pricing of both plans as I don't text, internet, or take piactures with my phone.

I just want it to be a reliable, indestructable phone with bluetooth for the upcoming hands free laws.

We have had great luck with reception on Cingular so far, but who knows how that will be affected by the new merger. That's the big problem right now, is all these mergers. When this happens they re-structure the tower contracts so who knows what the next best service will be.
