Got a nokia 5300 express music phone...

Probably get a nicer Data-device style phone sometime in the future, but for now the Nokia does well for me.

Nokia makes pretty damn reliable phones... I do less trouble-shooting on Nokias than I do other brands...


I wish we carried some of the more data-intensive Nokias that they have in Europe... the N-series are pretty bad-ass..

A piece of crap LG enV

Its my third one in a year & a half because the first one had a short in the front screen not 2 months after I got it so they replaced it. the second one they sent me, when I went to charge it, the charger port fell out within a month and you could see that it wasn't welded in right, and im on the third one right now. The "OK" button on front is wearing out but that's from me using it all the time. So I guess third times a charm. I still wouldn't recommend them. The people at the Verizon center near my house told me they have nothing but problems with the enV's (old versions and the new ones as well).

Nokia 6133 through T-Mobile.

In some regards I'll miss this when my contract is up -- but I do want to upgrade to something with a nicer browser built in. As long as the next one also does mp3s and video (something many other Nokias will do too) then I may stick with those.

Thought about a crackberry, but the cheapest one T-Mobile currently offers with my wants/needs is about twice as much as the Nokia that I'll probably settle on.

The good ol' 6133... damn solid phone you got there... I put mine through hell and only replaced it because I wanted something different. I still have my 6133, but it's in a drawer as my back-up phone.

Do you have the nokia pc suite software installed on your comp? excellent tools for managing the files on your phone.

[bitchslicer]

mines the cheapest nokia you can get it was £10 with £5 credit

[Luris Blear]

Do you have the nokia pc suite software installed on your comp? excellent tools for managing the files on your phone.

Oh hell yes.

I'm going to say, the only reason I want to upgrade when my 2-year plan is up is to get a better browser. The 6133 will absolutely remain as a backup. It has probably also become the standard on which I base other phones.

[Godfatha]

I think it's an old Nokia 2100 (could be a 2700) through Bell. And I won't get a new one until the phone stops working outright or Bell stops supporting that spectrum. I can make calls and text. I don't need anything more from a phone.

Apple drops entry iPhone to $99, unveils new model
By JORDAN ROBERTSON and JESSICA MINTZ, AP Technology Writers - Mon Jun 8, 2009 6:36PM EDT

SAN FRANCISCO - Apple Inc. slashed the entry price for an iPhone in half and lowered some laptops by $300 Monday, the company's first dramatic price cuts since the recession began a year and a half ago.

With co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs absent until his medical leave is over at the end of June, Apple's biggest unveiling at its annual conference for software developers was a new model of the iPhone, the 3G S. It looks the same but sports a faster processor, longer battery life, an internal compass, a video camera and a photo camera with better resolution and auto-focus.

A 16-gigabyte version of the 3G S will cost $199 and a 32-gigabyte version will be $299.

The 8-gigabyte iPhone 3G, which came out last year, now costs $99, instead of $199. When the iPhone debuted two years ago, eager Apple fans had to shell out $499 for a 4-gigabyte version and $599 for 8 gigs.

Apple is known for ending events with a last-minute surprise, leading to some anticipation that Jobs might make a cameo in Monday's two-hour presentation. But he did not take the stage, and Apple's top marketing executive, Philip Schiller, exited without uttering the company's signature line that there would be "one more thing."

The latest iPhones go on sale June 19, just as two-year contracts for the buyers of the original models are expiring and Apple faces tougher competition from the likes of Research in Motion Ltd. and Palm Inc. On Saturday Palm came out with a well-regarded iPhone rival, the $200 Pre.

Industry analyst Michael Gartenberg, with the Interpret market-research firm, said the new iPhone pricing breaks through an important barrier for consumers. It will likely cause other smart phone makers to offer something similar, he said.

"Every $100 you move down in consumer electronics brings in a lot more customers," he said. "Ninety-nine dollars is a psychological price point, so that's a real barrier to move through. It becomes something people can afford — it becomes an affordable luxury."

Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple slipped 82 cents to close at $143.85.

Schiller said in an interview that $99 iPhone will reach people just joining the smart phone market. But lowering the price could be risky for Apple unless its new versions have enough appealing features to keep them selling briskly at higher prices. AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the U.S., said Monday it's confident its wireless profit margins will hold steady overall. AT&T shares fell 16 cents to $24.40.

Apple might also be banking on expanding the profits it reaps from taking 30 percent of the revenue from downloadable applications on the iPhone and the iPod Touch. A new version of the iPhone operating software, available for download June 17, lets software developers sell additional content, like electronic books or extra levels to a video game, within applications.

Among other upgrades, the new iPhone software will let people download movies and TV shows using the device's cellular connection. It will let users send photos and videos the same way they send text messages, bringing the iPhone in line with other smart phones. (AT&T won't offer this feature until late in the summer.) And the new software will let parents limit the kinds of applications kids can download.

Apple had already announced other new features in the new software — such as the ability to cut, copy and paste text — and the ability for "tethering," which means using the iPhone to connect a computer to the Internet. However, while 22 wireless carriers will enable tethering, AT&T will not.

For its MacBook line, Apple showed off new laptops that boast longer battery life and faster processors. The company rolled out a new 13-inch MacBook Pro that starts at $1,200, or $100 lower than an existing similar notebook, and a 15-inch Macbook Pro that starts at $1,700, $300 less than the current model.

It also lowered the price on the ultra-thin MacBook Air to $1,500 from $1,800. The 17-inch MacBook Pro, unveiled in January, costs $2,500 and up, though it now has a faster processor at the same price.

Apple also is trying to steal share in the computer market by enhancing its Mac operating system. The next version, Snow Leopard, comes out in September, before Microsoft Corp.'s next edition of Windows hits PCs Oct. 22. Among Snow Leopard's improvements is built-in support for Microsoft's Exchange Server software, so Apple programs for e-mail, calendars and contacts could become more useful in corporate settings.

One thing looming over Apple is the growing popularity of cheaper, stripped- down laptops sometimes called "netbooks." They are one of the few segments of the overall PC business that has been growing in the recession, while Apple's Mac revenue dropped 16 percent in the most recent quarter.

Jobs has said Apple doesn't know how to build a sub-$500 computer "that's not a piece of junk." That doesn't mean Apple won't someday try to enter that market, but on Monday at least, Schiller sounded similar themes. He said in the interview that netbooks are merely "very underpowered, poorly designed cheap notebooks."

"They have poor keyboards, poor screens, and none of the features and capabilities to do what a MacBook, for example, can," he said. "We think those products are below the quality standards of something Apple would like to make."

it was just a rumor i heard about verizon selling the iphone (hence the "as they are claiming"). the exclusive contract with AT&T is up this year, and there were some talks with verizon, but from what i have read, nothing will happen with apple until verizon launches a 4G network sometime next year.

i watched some of the WWDC coverage and as far as i understood AT&T is still screwing iphone users over with the whole MMS. the feature will not come out til the summer and will only be available on the new phones.

so maybe i will hold onto my POS storm and hope the storm 2 doesnt have massive screen glitches, memory leaks, freeze up, turn it self off for no reason at all, recognizes that it is a phone when i have an incoming call and doesnt drain the battery while it is on the charger.
