i’ve heard about that.

damn it. why did the g/f have to get sprint. gayness.

that’s pretty much the only thing that was pulling me towards sprint. Cingular has about the exact same prices and whatnot otherwise.

i’m just sick of my bill being $70+ with verizon… and that’s on a 39.99 plan

Those fucking sluts.

It’s been a couple of years since Motorola phones haven’t sucked. Apparently even the insanely popular RAZR is problematic.

If international travel affects your decision at all, go with a GSM company. When I had T-Mobile it was awesome that I was making phone calls on the west coast of Africa. :tup:

I’ve been happy with LG and Verizon.
