    Has anyone tried using one of these unlocked phones on Tmobile or AT&T by inserting an existing SIM card?

    I'm told it works but I'm skeptical. I suspect there are some features that come on the tails of an iPhone contract which is a two year obligation I'd like to avoid. Horror stories welcome.

    Thanks

    I have never tried one of these, but I don't believe they support Microsoft Push E-Mail or anything Microsoft related at all, and probably just support Web browsing and normaly phone functions, but I am not sure.

    I would try one if your looking for a new phone because your board with your current one, and can not find one you like so much.

    There also is a service ( I can not think of the name of it to save my life) that you could rent a phone for a period of time, and then send it back in (Kind of like Netflix for cellphones) and they may have that phone so you can use it for a month, and then send it back or buy it from them. If you want to try that, PM me and I will find the name of the place.

    I would be interested in knowing the name of that lease service. That sounds like a good way to puzzle out the features that I need without getting into a contract.

    I will have to check and see if I can find it. I did do a quick google and it seems there are more and more companies doing this, so try a search of "rental cell phones"... wait now I rememeber, and I am not endorsing them, but Rentobile dot com is the name of the website I learned of this. They may or may not have the phone your looking for, but you can also try Googling it and see what other companies offer.

    Good luck!!
