So i think its time to cancel local phone/long distance service and just buy a cell phone. things have gotten so expensive its cheaper to just have a cell phone. thats my reasoning anyway.
so i just started looking on the web today (mostly searching cnet.com). before today all i knew about cell phones was that
1) people whho talk into them often lookj like crazy people talking to themselves
2) my roommate never gets off his
3) cingular has a terrible reputation and everyone i know has left after their one year contract
so... i dont really know anything.
well today i found out about GSM and GPRS. dont really know what it entails, but im told GSM is third generation (mostly absent from the USA) and that ATT and another provided just set up GSM networks in CA. So I was hoping to get a GSM equipped phone assuming i could get adequate coverage in the bay area and southern california.
The other thing i want is small. i dont use the phone much (im just getting one because i need a phone and im canceling my home phone). so i want it small so it doesnt get in the way. as for all the bells and whistles, i couldnt care less. as long as it has a gui that is easy to use that is.
So cnet seems to suggest the Sony Ericsson T68i for my needs. im wondering what are peoples impressions of their phones the Sony Ericsson T68i their services, and any good advice for a first time cell phone user.
thanks in advance for any help you guys provide!
