Replacing Sidekick 3

[Kenny Pollock 10+ year member]

I'm running to bed, but I figured I'd ask...

I want to replace my SK3, I'm sick of T-Mobile's crappy service, so I'm looking for a new phone + provider.

I cheat a lot at school, and look up a lot of things...so web access (and fast) is necessary. I need nights and weekends, and unlimited text messages (I text over 4,000 a month)

I was thinking Cingular + Blackjack or Verizon + Q.... but not sure. Any opinions? Cingular is so **** expensive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I dont think you can beat the sidekick plan, I haven't had any problems with my service either, I don't know tho there might be something better now

is it just that its so much easier to text with sidekicks.... is that why people who have them send rediculous amounts of messages. a friend when he got a sidekick two constantly had his up in the 15,000 plus range..... he said his goal was to hit 20,000 one day.... i get told i text alot and i only send 1000 or so everymonth.

I have Verizon and a treo 650 and the web access is fast enough for me but I dont use it too much. Where I live Verizon is the best and I always have service but that may differ for you.

I've have awesome experience with Cingular as far as service and reliability. Connections are pretty fast too, for a phone anyways.

Cingular doesn't offer unlimited text messaging //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif MAYBE if they did I would consider switching over to their disgusting prices...but no unlimited text messaging kills it for me

In texting would benefit me how? No one I know has Verizon, so therefore in texting FTL

Sprint SERO + PPC 6700. Nights at 7, Unlimited Texts, Unlimited Evdo, 500 minutes. $30 a month.

Good plan, ugly phone... I had the T-Mobile MDA and hated it

It's beat to hell, you don't want it

the other thing you can do, is add all the mobile numbers to your aim buddy list.

I have a PPC6700 from sprint and love it, make sure you check out the phone in person to see how you like the buttons before you buy. I almost got a treo but the buttons were too close together for my sausage fingers so I ended up with the 6700.

Hmm.... my girlfriend has Sprint and she's the only person I talk to... maybe I will go the Sprint route. I just hate friggin' antennas sticking out of the phone... the phone is big enough already.

I hear ya. I got hit with a couple huge *** bills from going over my text limit so I had to cut it back a good bit. Im down to around 400 a month now opposed to a couple thousand. But Im on a family plan so the overall charges arent as bad since we split it four ways.
