My friend as one of those, thats probably what I will get.

My problem is that I am on the water a lot and often the phone will get wet from spray or my hand being wet.

To expensive, I only want to pay $30-$40 per month for service, maybe $50.

They want you to spend $80 with those.

That and Blackberry Messenger.

If you do get the Blackberry, my pin is 23FE997A...

That Blackberry put up one hell of a fight. Finally died after a soldering iron went thru it.

Got another one, new pin is: 246A71AA...

Hey Justin,
Sureley you have figured out a way for us BB users to view youtube vids? I was hoping to be able to go to youtube on my phone but it dosent wanna work.

iwrock · #37 02-04-2009, 03:41 PM

I just go to m.youtube.com type in the video I want to watch, and browse the results.

When you find one, click the "Watch Video" link, and instant youtube.

Do you have your pin?

E150GT · #38 02-04-2009, 03:49 PM

What I really want is an iPhone, but would have to switch over to AT&T, and it would eat up all of my $600 economic stimulus payment. However I would be only spending $59 a month on the basic plan.

GET AN IPHONE 3G!!! I was on boost mobile phones for years because I didn't want to get wrapped up in the high tech phone stuff. But my friend showed me the way! Best 300$ I ever spent and have never regretted it to this day. It's an amazing cell phone and it's so user friendly!

I agree, just got one myself. If you can get a good monthly plan, and a decent price, it's an excellent device.

Would that work with girlfriends?

I just discovered I can get discounts through Verizon, through my work, so yesterday, I signed up for my discounts. It looks like I will be with Verizon for a while, unless I can get a better one through at&t.
In another year I will most likely get a Blackberry, and the service plan for me will be the same or less than on an iPhone ,through at&t. I just wish Verizon had the iPhone

Well if you can get discounts through your work than that's cool. But just know: Iphone= Mercedes Benz of Cell Phones

Blackberry= Hyundai of Cell Phones (no offense to anyone that has one

)
