Cell phones are admittedly useful, but I just can't stand the thought of buying one. Everybody hates their phone, and everybody hates their service, and it always looks like they have good reason to. So no phone for me. My favorite part is how Verizon ("It's the network") can't make a sale because the network is down. I’m not surprised.

Now my primary number is from http://grandcentral.com which i can pick up with the gizmo project, or the Virgin Mobile prepaid handset that only cost me $20 and fifteen minutes on the phone with custopmer service and that's only because I didn't want to do it over the web. i jumped off the mobile roundabout several months ago and chucked my BigFourTelco handset out the window.

They're pretty freakin schweet. Affordable and decent support and GSM instead of CDMA. My SDA is a windows mobile device and I can fanagle it to act as a mass storage usb device. I don't know if blackberry's or Nokia's are better, but if you just need a phone, all this is irrelevant. Also, google for "Tmobile minutes used firefox extension" and you can get your minutes in your firefox statusbar. :) Cheers. I’d recommend T-Mobile. They’re pretty freakin schweet.
