don’t turn this into a pissing contest over which the best phone company is. Everyone knows tmobiles service sucks hha anyways I have a sidekick3, and about 1 year left in my contract. My main reasons for using it are the built in messengers (aim mobile sucks ass on regular phones i love how the sk has real aim/msn/yahoo) how do these phones pair off? ---

I have a normal cell phone on verizon with a qwerty keyboard that i love for texting. AIM and the web sucks on it for anything more than checking email. The iPhone is great for that in my opinion but I just don’t like the “slow” network it uses. When it upgrades to the 3g I will be all over it. ---

Are you calling the iPhone an “ifone” and expecting to be taken seriously? ---

iphone can be jailbroken and use a 3rd party messenger client or a web based one. i found my touch will sometimes drop out and its not too great at keeping it running in the back ground tho. ---
