Which cell phone do you use?

I know the sidekick is popular but I hear lots of people are trading them in.

I have a phone that no one cares about, and I don't either. I plan to get something later on. Why should I tell what I have? LOL

Yep, a lot of people trade in their Sidekicks. They also trade in their Blackberries, their Nokia, their Motorolas, etc...

They just can't make up their mind and sometimes think that they are cool if they keep up with modern phones... on the spot.

I know one guy who believed that if a new phone came out and people thought it was cool, he had to buy it. Even if his contract hadn't ended... he would break contract or spend a lot of money on a new phone so that he could use it.

It's not just Sidekick. I know a lot of people who had Blackberries and traded those in cuz they hated it and preferred Sidekick. Then there are those who hated Sidekicks and traded those in for other phones.

They just don't know what they want.

Pre-Paid? Isn't that only pay for a time? If so, then that's what I was talking about by "pay to go".

I just got my first blackberry two months ago.
Blackberry Curve 8310.
Never had a "deaf" cellphone before this.
Ain't planning to switch it for long time. Probably not until it breaks or giving me some difficulties.

I see no sense in wasting money just because you aren't up to the date even though it serve it's purposes.

I have AT&T Tilt now. I was bored to use sidekick in four years old to change from sidekick BW to color to sidekick II.

I currently have an Alltel UTStarcom PPC-6700 Windows Mobile 5 phone and I have plans to upgrade to AT&T Tilt.

I'm hoping I can use 3G network with Sprint's WebCapTel (www.sprintcaptel.com) and make voice calls so that I can receive captions while on-the-go. I don't want to be with a laptop/desktop computer the whole time.

Too many reason for me to hate sidekick lx, but it is free ( I did not buy it, my boss at work bought it for me due to communication reason).

Sidekick LX has ugly features (no youtube videos in it, 1.3 Megapixel camera, crappy games, AIM kept signing off/on, and the service is too slow), and it cost $400.00 with $40/monthly. Too expensive for a crappy sidekick.

ONE thing I like about sidekick is fast sending emails, and SMS. That is it. I am thinking about buying new one, and give this LX to my mom.
