anyone have any place where we can get hooked up wtih good deals on cell phones? Thanks in advnace

 

I believe Glen does. I had been meaning to speak to him myself.
Glen, I have Cingular can you PM prizing for:

Samsung D807
Motorola SLVR L7
LG Chocolate (if unlocked)

 

amazon.com usually have sick deals on phones. they can afford to sell phones for 100 bucks+ cheaper compared to stores due to their ability to save the cost of employing sales personales. check it out.

btw i have the chocolate and really like it, its not a gsm phone and wont work on the cingular network.

furthermore, if you buy unlocked GSM phones, do not buy triband, only buy quad band, US are on different frequencies from europe and asia, so if you have a triband phone, you wont get service from a lot of the cingular towers while quadband phones cover all frequencies

 

LG Chocloate sucks, i have one (verizon) and hate it, you get fingerprints all over it, and the vibration feature sucks, i never feel it vibrate.

 

If I were you, I'd go with the Treo 700p. I've had both the 650 and now 700. 700 still has some issues but the comming software update will take care of them.

 

I believe the 700p is for Verizon only. If you have Cingular you should check out www.gsmarena.com for pretty good reviews on phones. The reviews they have are thorough and pretty straightforward.

The thing about the tri-band phone is true. However.. there are tri-band phones that are made that are specifically for North America GSM carriers (ie. Cingular, T-mobile, etc.) Take for instance the Sony Ericsson k790. The original was a tri-band phone that was available for the 900/1800/1900 mhz. frequencies. However since then, SE manufactured a phone that was compatible with the 850/1800/1900 mhz frequencies (ie. Cingular, T-mobile) labeled as the SE k790a, yet it is still a tri-band phone.

So to say, "Don't get a tri-band phone...." isn't always the best advice, it's really good advice, but not the best. Look into the phones that you want. If you travel the globe frequently, then yes, I suggest you get a quad-band phone because it's going to be able to be supported by all the "cell phone" frequencies carried all across the globe (850/900/1800/1900 mhz.) But if you're just going to be frequenting around the North America.. then a tri-band phone that supports (850/1800/1900) will suffice more than enough.

lol.. sorry bout the ranting fellows. I don't do anything that deals with cell phones, or cell phone services.. I just happen to know the stuff I just typed because i've done previous research that has to deal with that ^ situation.

And with all that said.. sorry... I don't know/have any hook ups for cell phones hahahhaha..

 

pm sent

 

caster.. too bad you aren't closer to me.. I'm signing up for cingular soon for 2 lines.. and I would love to be able to work out a deal with someone

 

^well thats if your willing to get it shipped....my boy ran off somewhere here in the mall so dont know where he went. I work in the mall and got crazy hook ups on phones. Some are reasonable and some are hella cheap. Im asking a few members on the boards since some of them have deals on phones.
