For betting with your phone, I recommend blackberry. I am able to access every site. The sidekick 3 is awesome too but service area sucks with T Mobile

t-mobile is solid as well as the razr....dropped mine on concrete many times and 2 years later zero scratches and crystal clear reception.

it's all about what sort of features you need....if you just use it as a phone razr or one of the new nokias way to go....they have a new razr out with better camera more memory 3G etc if you need it.

before people bash tmobile or any other carrier...it's all about who has the most cell towers in your area and near your house. worth doing the research. I can see the tmobile tower from my window sat home so it always pegs...best customer svc too.

I have the Blackberry 8700. Rarley use it as a phone. Mostly to bet and for ESPN auto refresh updates. I love it. The only negative of the Blackberry for me is trying to type numbers. Holding down the shift key and hitting the numbers where they are located, sometimes is a pain in the ass.
It has many other featuyres, but unfortunately , I do not use them.

As far as T Mobile goes, Jdog is right. It is all where you are. But I checked their service area on the web, and spoke to someone in the store and my zip code had great coverage. But that is soooo not the case. Then after buying it, they tell me, "well you know, it doesn't always work indoors" WHAT the fuck????????? What kind of service is that?
And as far as their customer service goes, I had many bad experiences...right from the start, when I paid for overnight shipping and it never showed up.
Told me my card was declined. Yet they charged my card twice.
I got switched around and around and around from one rep to another until after two hours and 3 supervisors, they figured out what happened.

Then I was told I could do the pay as you go data plan for one dollar a day, and if I didn't use it, I would not be charged.
I found out quickly enough that that was not the case.

So I bought the Blackberry.

Still have the Sidekick. "They" told me they are going to be expanding coverage in my area in the next year. So I am holoding onto it in hopes this is true. Because when it works, it is awesome.

the tmobile customer service is outstanding. far and away the best cust service of any business ive dealt with.

as far as their phones go, the newest nokie flip phone (6133 i believe) is excellent. moderately priced but a great phone.

Just incase anyone has any Qwest services, they also offer DirecTV, cell phone service with very likely the best coverage ever, and of course home lines and long distance. High speed DSL too.

You can save a shitload if you bundle everything. All comes on one bill.

Anyway, yes I work there and yes I have stock, but the deal really does save a ton of cash.

I know I'm off topic... go fuck yourself.

I'm thinking if the iphone is a big success, other companies might offer some awesome deals on their elite phones..

I think I'm going to wait and find a good deal.. If someone sees anything post it in here.. Thanks in advance

Sony Ericcson are suppose to be very good for taking pictures.


I'm going to get a Sony Ericcson K790a to work with my Tmobile service next week off of EBay. Unlocked and Unbranded. All I need is my $5.99 internet to work with it.

I don't understand the fascination of the iphone to be honest, if you want to use the internet properly, you need a decent keyboard imo. That's if you're any kind of typist at least.
