Not sure which phone to get... Ive been an at&t customer for years probably close to 10 years and have been happy with my service.
I have a Nokia flip phone which is on its last leg and I need to pick a new phone ASAP (I am eligible for an upgrade). I use technology in my life (and am comfortable with technology) but Ive kept my cell phone basic. I dont text and I take very few pictures.
I started a new job recently and they block websites like hotmail and yahoo so if I want to check email I have to do it from home.
I am familiar with the Iphone and would love to have one but they are pricey both the price of the phone and monthly service.
Things I love about the iPhone:
Tons of apps are available
Works on 3G or on any available wi-fi
No additional SD card to buy if you want to store music
Things I dont like about the iPhone:
Its much larger than my flip phone
Cost of ownership phone cost and $30 monthly fee
Apple will probably introduce a new model soon but I need a phone this week.
I was looking at the Samsung Mythic but didnt know how easy (or fast) it would be to surf the web or check my hotmail account. On of the downsides of the Mythic is I would have to buy a SD card to hold music. I can get the phone for free and I think it only requires an additional $15 data plan.
Im not sold on the Mythic and would be open for any and all suggestions.
How do I find apps for the Mythic as well as other phones?
Would it be quick and easy to check my hotmail account?
Im an ebayer, which internet connection would be best to view sales on my cell?
Any gems of wisdom would be welcomed as well.
Thanks,

windows mobile is by far the WORST operating system for a phone, it is far too similar to actual sindows and nobody wants to have to hit a start button on their phone to do ****. Phones work much better in a table top icon based operating system.

If you are willing to spend $15 on a data plan you might as well spend $30 and get an iphone you won't be disappointed.

If you're willing to pay the extra $30 for data, I'd suggest the Palm Pre Plus.

There were a lot of deals on the Palm's. I even heard that some providers were waving the tethering fees, that would give you a mobile hotspot for free.

So what was the decision. Getting an iPhone is always a good idea. And you can just sell the old model for full price on craigslist and upgrade to the new model.

Re: Not sure which phone to get...
yeah, just get a new phone! you could use the extra $30 you spend every month on something else.
