So im going to be getting a new plan with T Mobile. Im looking to getting either a RZR or a Sidekick 3. Any places online that sells phones for pretty cheap. I know I can print the page up and the T Mobile imma go to will match or beat the price I find the phone for.

Thanks

I have both phones (RAZR with Cingular, and my SK2 with T-Mobile). I hate my RAZR. I can't even input text (such as names or text messaging), because when I input more than two characters, my phone freezes up and I have to take the battery out and restart it. I love the Sidekicks. I still have the 2, but I've seen and used the 3. For some reason, I'd rather have my 2, it's built better and is more rigid.

BRAND NEW PLAN, never had t-mobile? Then go to wirefly.com or letstalk.com. Those are the best prices. Also, don't go to the t-mobile store, go to a multi carrier dealer as they usually give the best prices on phones. http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=964

I have a imported Black RAZR, droped it and not even a scratch and still works fine. Been almost half a year now.

Love the phone because you can upload your own music or ringtones, has a speaker.

Thats pretty much all i need, and you cant beat a phone that nice. If you need a phone like a sidekick, get a damn laptop you retard!

What you mean you can't send mobile to mobile texts? I love my SK2, I doubt I'll buy the 3, unless my 2 breaks.

Get a RAZR, and learn how to hack it.

Someone actualy hacked into it and made a windows program for it like a blackberry.

Get it from Costco, they got T-Mobile, and the RAZR for $40, plus you get a car charger/headset/case, and free activation.

But the #1 reason to buy from Costco is their return policy: if the phone ever breaks on you, you can exchange it for a new one! (as long as they have RAZRs in stock).

I use this as a closing tool, so don't be surprised if they say no, real salespeople will do anything for a sale hahaha.

I bought a used Nokia 6600 just because they are known for having great reception. Since I've gotten it (about four months) I haven't had a single problem getting full reception, even in between mountain ranges.

i got both and im with Tmobile.i have the razor and my GF has the sk2, we've never had any problems with either one and ive had both phones since January 06. but my Razor has better reception than the sk2 for the most part. any way u look at it its going to have its ups and downs. go to the tmobile store and try them out and see which one u like. Good luck

Ive droped my RAZR V3 from 3 stories down the stairs and it didnt break, only fell apart in the usual places. I dont like my RAZR even tho i've Hex edited and modified alot of things like volume control , added video camera (this was before it came integrated). Its gets some interference and you have to take the battery out and restart it.

But im tired of the damn RAZR cuz everyone and they momma has one, lol
Even Metro PCS (Bay Area Only Provider) has a RAZR.

I used to have an imported black V3 Razor.....someone stole it.....no big deal though.

I now have the Samsung T509....If you like thin phones....the t509 is thinner than the Sliver and the Razor.

The one thing I liked the most about the Razor was the ability to take pictures with the phone closed.

Well if you live in San Francisco with all those hills I am not surprised. Cell towers are based on a line of sight situation. I.E. any substantial obstruction be it a tall building or hills is going to interfere with signal strength if not eliminate it all together. Ever wonder why there are so many cell sites on downtown buildings? Line of sight is short so they need more to cover an area. I used to work for Cingular, we used to have people come in and complain about not getting reception in Beachwood canyon hahhahhaha. These are the same fucks that when asked if Cingular good put a cell tower up there so they would have line of sight reception they said not in my back yard. Stupid fucks. hahahhhahha. You get the same shit in San Francisco, no one wants a cell tower in the City by the bay. Result? Shitty cell reception .

P.S. Oh ya and for anyone in California that gets on here and says there Cingular service is better than T-Mobile eh wrong. T-Mobile's tower network in California is Cingulars. One and the same. I know, my unlocked European Motorola V620 Alpha tags off the towers and not the sim chip. It comes up Cingular everywhere in the state. T-mobile had an arrangement with Cingular long before the ATT merge deal. Cingular is supposed to be selling the towers to T-Mobile as part of the deal to satisfy the Justice department and the FTC for the merger. They are supposedly going to switch over to the half assembled 850mhz GSM tower network ATT was in the process of building when the merger happened. They still have not even completed that whole mess. hahahhahha

the razr... my bf has one (granted its verizon) it rocks. never had a problem with it. i have both the sk2 and the sk3. (might i add i dont get reception with tmobile at my house so if you ask me, their reception is horrible. so i use verizon as my primary phone). the sk2 had problems (especially if you use it as a phone.) and the sk3 has problems too. one common one is you will loose reception on the phone for no reason. you could be in an area where you get full reception and it'll just drop. check out... www.hiptop.com they have a forum on there with all the probs that phone has. good luck. every phone carrier has its ups and downs... :(

my silver RAZR has dents in the battery cover from me dropping it, it doesn't freeze very often and no problems with reception. All with verizon.

I didnt get the sidekick because it was too big. Plus I use my phone only for phone I really dont pay attention to the media stuff.
