The phone I have is an old Samsung. Its been a good phone for the past 4 years but its about ready to give up the ghost.
And T-mobile sucks ***. I am not happy with them at all. I am not on contract anymore and I called them up the other day just to make sure they knew they sucked and that a good customer was walking away.
So...what kinda picture is this? The only pic that would keep me from sleeping would be a nekkid.
Scott - how's this?

I average about 2500 minutes a month on just my phone (buisness), and Nextel could not ever bill me correctly. I had the unlimited, pay one price and talk as meuch as you need with no roaming and no LD, but they triedx to charge me for roaming every month. I used to have to spend at least an hour on the phone with customer service every month just to get my bill straight. the straw that broke my back was when a CS agent told he didnt think there was any pleasing me. I said "sure there is just let me out of my contract, and Ill go get another service and be pleased" he said fine your released, and you have 48 hrs before your number goes inactive. went to the verizon store(it was the closest to my house) and have been very pleased with them for the past year. everything friggin works, there customer web site is easy follow, and if you want a new app or ringtone, just connect your mobile web, and its there. Oh and they are cheaper than what nextel was charging me, and I get more features.

Wow thats pretty cool. Maybe I'll take Randy's phone and we should get him one of those Olympus phones. That man goes through more phones than any person I've ever seen. They succumb to ice, puddles, seatbelts, and get run over by coal cars... actually we almost didn't go on our first date because he broke his phone and lost my phone number.

Ahh gotcha. Thanks Brandon.
You know I've had T mobile for years without any problems, only in the past few months have I started having issues. I got a bill for $230 the other day
yeah, they are usually $54... anyways apparently I went over my text limit and they charged me an outrageous .40 per text after I went over my quota. Ontop of that, I have been having terrible service issues. I go into someone's house and suddenly I have no service.

You probably won't believe this, but I'm carrying the Verizon iPhone too. But this one isn't out yet.
Here's a pic:
For some reason, it doesn't like a link to cNet. Go figger...
EDIT: STUPID FORUM...

sorry, went off on a tangent...the olympus is just a camera, no phone

I knew Olympus made cameras, just figured they got into the phone biz.
As you can tell, I am behind on all this stuff. Give me any kind of gadget and I'll have it mastered pretty quickly though. I just can't keep up with what is new and cool and I don't have the money to throw at every small leap in technology. I have a friend who camps out at the Apple store every time they come out with a new IPhone.

I like Samsung phones...but I got excited there for a second and thought Verizon was going to start carrying the iphone. I'd love to have one, easy sync with my ibook, but I don't want AT&T service.

I've been in cellular since 1993 when I started working for Nokia after getting off active duty. So basically, besides military communications, this is the only thing I've ever done. And you definitely have to be a geek, so you have that covered I guess, but you also have to know the various standards used for the two major types of radio links (GSM & CDMA). How are ya' on that??
