I cant worry much about the looks at this point, I need a working telephone.
If i could get better reception with a hot pink phone I'd do it.
- Ginger - 12-26-2006
You'd do it, anyways.
- .RJ - 12-26-2006
Maybe you should get an orange phone

I thought I disproved that this past summer with 2 bars.

Don't get a Sony Ericcson. I hated that piece of shit and I've heard a lot of complaints from others as well. Nokia and Motorola are where my money goes.

RJ the CU-400 is a bulky phone, Id try the CU-500. Its a little more $$ but a much better phone. The samsung slider would be my 2nd choice.

Okay... well 2 bars is enough for solid conversation on a V557.
- .RJ - 12-26-2006
Why dont we all just whip them out?
Oh its so... wow... 5 bars!
Edit: Good call on the CU-500, I missed that. Its an extra $30, but at the rate I spend liquidate my visa its no big deal
- Apoc - 12-26-2006
I get 62 bars... thanks to a mod chip.

i have an LG, its been great to me but it will not allow you to upload backgrounds/ringtones to your phone from your compy. you have to email them to the phone, which allows LG to nab you up for the internet access. but since i'm not that worried about that stuff it hasn't bothered me yet.
- .RJ - 12-26-2006
Ringtones...... :?:

i'm in the same boat, but i'm getting more satisfied with Verizon phones. I like my phone and my service!
Verizon FTW!

+1, I had one w/ AT&T and it was the biggest POS I've ever owned. I had a basic LG and it was a great phone, christina is still using it, and it's almost 4yrs old. I have a Motorola E815 now, works great, has BT and I can surf the internet through it on my PDA w/ Verizon's VCast.
Oh Sprint is the Biggest pile and the most joke of a wireless service in the DC area. My father in law has it and it he never has service!

It's funny you should say that. RJ's Sprint service was terrible, which was why he switched out. I don't recall what my service was like before I bought a new phone (this is where everybody that went to Laguna berates me), but with my new phone I get better service than almost everybody I know. I get satisfactory conversations where I'm routinely told service isn't available at all. I don't know enough about cell service to say that the carrier signal is better on one network or another, or if the phone really plays that big of a part at all.. I just know that, for the most part, I'm very happy with the service I've been getting.
*oops, I totally forogot to mention, I'm on the Sprint network with a Samsung A900

IMO the phone does play a big factor in it. I have two sprint phones and in the same spot in the same house my Katana gets much better service than my Sanyo. I personally love my sprint service, with the exception of my house I've had little to no pockets of no service. Heck I even would get service at RJ's house where his sprint phone didn't work.

If I have to spend $400 to get a phone that has decent service - there is something inherently wrong with the network, or the provider.
No thanks. Fxck those guys with a big rusty prybar.
