hey all,
well i have sworn for years that i would not become subject to those digital dog collars, but after further investigation i have come to the conclusion that i would be cheaper for me and have a lot of advantages over a phone in my apartment. verizon charges 24$ just for the landline, not to mention all the other fees.
i am moving into a house shortly (1 to 2 months) and my buddy i am rooming with has a cell phone. i can get a plan for something under $40 and i wont have to pay long distance with a cell phone. we will get cable internet cuz that is cheaper than my current DSL (can you tell im trying to keep to a cheap budget ) .
but what cell phone to get? i have looked at the PDA cell phones but am not impressed with any of them. they are big, bulky and pricey. i have a Palm m515 and am quite happy with it. it would be nice to combine the two devides, but i dont see any complelling options right now in the PDA cell phone market.
My buddy has a T-Mobile sidekick and that thing rocks, until you actually want to use it as a phone. I dont care about wireless web or SMS or IM or sending images or games (after all i have 16 bit gaming on my m515 ) but i do want a phone that is not gonna be redudent in 2 months. although i know that is a hard thing to get in the computers & gadgets category.
any1 here recommend a cell phone? this is a verizon town so to speak, so i will be using their service. i may get sprint but i am pretty sure i will get better deals and coverage with verizon.
thanks for your input!
