Finding the right cell phone

[dawgball]

Another odd thread for a sports gambling forum, but I am wondering if there is a website where there is a series of questions asked or you can rank what is important to you about a cell phone. Then the website kicks back to you all of the phones that qualify.

I have a Blackberry now, but I don't use it enough outside of phone and text messaging to warrant carrying it around.

Any suggestions on websites?

How do yu like the blackberry ? It doesnt look like its to user friendly for phone calling on.

I was thinking of getting one but I only use for phone. I dont like all the bells and whistle stuff.

if it is only for phone, do NOT get the blackberry. it dooesn't make sense.

I just bought a Treo 650. In my opinion this is the best cell phone on the market. Relatively compact with the Palm operating system and bluetooth for use in file transfers and earpieces. I have already installed sportsbooks software from CRIS as well. You can't deposit or withdraw on it, but you can place bets and view your wagering history.

If you stick that blackberry up your ass, would it become a dingleberry?

that was kinda rude just for asking a simple question.

Nick--I have used the 600 before (my business partner has one). I have decided, though, that I do not need a PDA at this point. I don't travel enough for it to be worth the additional size. I have heard really good things about the 650.

All I want in a phone is small size, durable enough to carry around in my pocket, long battery life, and good reception. All of the other bells and whistles are just not for me.

yyz--I think it would only be called that if it grew out of my ass. :moon:

Found this website:

Cell phone finder

It doesn't work exactly how I was thinking, but it is a start.

I have a cheap NOKIA. Much better service and voice quality than some of the newer models. I got a new plan with new phones (flip phone that sucked), and removed the card, placed in my old phone, and sold the new on ebay for 95 bucks.

 

[dawgball]

i didn't like the feel of the Razor. it is too small. i am also anxious to see the durability of it. also, i'm not one that needs to have the latest out. They charge way too much for that phone right now for its abilities.

You want Bluetooth for a headset? Also, is there a certain carrier you want to stick with?

 

[dawgball]

Bluetooth is not important to me. I don't do much travelling in the car, so a Bluetooth headset is only a convenience (translated as not willing to pay much extra for it).

I found the Motorola V180, and it seems to have the features I need at a good price. Ebay has them for $125 buy it now. I just missed on one that went for $80 because a client called in. :cursin:

Bluetooth is one cool feature though. Leaving the phone in your pocket while using it is unbelievable.
