the one that came with my plan two years ago sucks and is dying. i need a replacement, preferrably one that flips because i do physical work and im always bumpin keys and the screens and s***. i looked on ebay but have no idea what phones are outdated or bad or people have good things to say about them. any AT&T cell phone workers here that work at the little cubicle at the mall lol? i dont want some ridiculous phone either that can do everything but teleport me to the moon. i just need to be able to flip it open and either talk or dial. thats it.
 
see if atnt has a motorolla v90 i think it is. the phone is very durable. its a metal they say its titanium. but Ive had it for about 6 months, work as a mechanic and not a scratch on it yet.
 
does att have their GSM service up yet in your area?

i have tmobile right now and GSM is the shizzat. . .i know cingular will have it up on in FL by the end of NOV

GSM gives you a lot more options with phones and they are generally cooler than their tdma/cdma counterparts
 
i dont know wtf youre talking about lol. i didnt see the v90 phone, lemme check ebay again. its prolly gonna be hella expensive. it doesnt have to be titanium or whatever, my phone is holding up ok, its more or less that bump it not beat it.
 
i believer ATT calls their GSM service M-mode or m-life. . .it sucks here in FL cause it's pretty much only in orlando and surrounding areas. . if you go out of that service area you are SOL with trying to use your phone
 
I wouldn't get the v60 if I were you.....it's a pretty outdated phone for these days. I just upgraded to the new Sony/Ericsson T616 and it rocks......big color screen, small, looks cool as hell, lots of features, and even a little built in camera. I've had it for a few months now and it's by far the coolest phone I've ever used and I've had about 10 of them. Priced pretty reasonably too.

Remember the more features it has the more chances it has a chance to break. I had Nokia 82xx phone and now I have 92xx or something like that.

My dad has V60 and he loves it. Camera phones are overrated. Nobody needs it..
 
ok so what v60 the i or the t?

im still not ruling out the other phone, but the damn thing has so many options i dont need and its still not a flip
 
oh nm **** that ericsson i already have the service so its 200 bucks and still not a flip...i would get it if it was a flip for 50 bucks!
 
i've had a v60t and now have a v60i, and they're ok, but the antenna sucks if you like to keep your phone in your pocket. i broke the one off 2 v60t's because it gets thinner right near the bottom and the plastic sucks there. the v60i i have now has a different designed antenna, so if you want a v60 get the i. i did have to get the i fixed shortly after getting it though because there is a weak solder point in the antenna and it broke from being in my pocket again. they said this was a common problem, as was antenna's breaking off v60t's. i never drop my phone or anything, just the stresses from being in my pocket all the time make the antennas not like to stay on. i know if this breaks i'm not getting another v60, but reception and all that is good as long as the antenna stays on. if you keep it on the clip you won't have these problems
 
oh yea, yesterday i figured out how to do cool ring tones on the v60i, so if you do end up getting one and want different ring tones i can show you how to do it :)
 
ok cool...do they sound decent like some of the new phones or bad like the old ones?
 
it's not a full orchestra like some of the new ones, but it isn't terrible. the editor used to type in ringtones lets different pitches/lengths and all that, and i have the simpsons theme, knight rider, nothin but a g thang, ice ice baby, indiana jones, among others, and you can tell what they are easily
 
oh good :D only like 30 minutes left on the item...i might get it for like 50 bucks or so
 
ill be able to keep my same number and not have to pay any other fees or anything right? just call and say transfer to this unique id cell phone? i have two phones on my current plan, one for me one for my wife. so hopefully there are no other fees involved.

hmmmm...I got it for like $115 because they gave me some kind of upgrade discount or something. I like the fact that it's not flip....I've had flips in the past and personally can't stand them......no one handed operation.....you gotta open the thing up and that always drove me nuts.
 
Matthew, my fault. Its not a v90 its a v60. its from Tmobile, so it might be different than Atnt. It looks exactlly like the one you said you were the high bidder on. hope you didnt pull your hair out looking for a v90, I didnt realize it until I was offline.
 
no sweat i won it, it shipped today..should be the same phone...and im a high bidder on a cf replacement cover for it, hopefully i get that the same day or the day after :D
