aside from the cost of these things...is there extra cost associated with using the internet? like checking email? is it just air time or how does that work? im on the market for a new phone and while i like the smaller cell phones...i like the idea of being able to check email anywhere...and if the internet is free thats nice to have whenever the fuck you need.
i was just in the verizon store asking about info and they recommended motorola Q.

yeah, def not free. I just lowered my voice minutes, and got an internet plan. 29 a month. A little pricey, imo, but for me its worth it because I dont have internet access at work.

is that 29 bucks a month on top of the usual like 40 a month for like 400 anytime minutes? if so then fuck that! lol

I pay about 75 a month, including unlimited air time online, unlimited texts, unlimited nights, weekends and myfaves minutes +600 anytime minutes, and insurance. Not bad when you consider it is my everything. I don't know if it would be worth it if I had a computer at home, though.

I was thinking of getting a blackberry or something like that, but it would not be for work, and I couldn't justify the extra cost of internet. Some people have really cute computer handheld things on the metro, and it just looks like a cool toy.

I have a Blackberry Pearl. It is refered to in my house as the "Crackberry" because it's rather addictive and I never go anywhere without it.
For me, it's ideal, because even though I sometimes feel like I'm a slave to work, it at least lets me get out of the office without the fear that something on my email is going to ambush me when I get back. Sadly, my clients know I have it, so I get emails on days like New Years Eve...Christmas...you name it. I still say that dashing off a quick reply even on a holiday is better than getting smacked when I get back to the office, tho.
My internet access is really good...and it's come in handy when I've gotten lost and had to look up an address or phone number in a strange city...not to mention a little web shopping in traffic.

I'm just not sure that I need a smart phone. It is that additional $30.00 per month for the data package that gets me.
I was first considering the Blackberry Curve, but I think that it is slower because it doesn't have 3G technology, or something like that. I think the Iphone is the same. It appears as if the Motorola Q has the latest 3G technology, but I'm not sure. This is all greek to me.

How do you like it? How quick is your internet access? What kind do you have?
I dont mean the fruit.
I've had one for 5 years, it's great for my job, and the newer ones have all the media functionality of other phones. Most importantly, I can ignore it when needed.
Internet access is as good as your cell companies network. Sprint and AT&T are pretty good.

thank god no. If I did it would mean that my company has suddenly found it necessary that they be able to contact me at all hours of the day and night, no matter where I am. I have so far slipped under that radar...
For work only - I have the blackberry curve - and it's ok. The main use is for email...which I get too much of anyway. I wish I had an iPhone - they are cool. More expensive up front ($399 for iPhone compared to $99-$199 for the BB) but the data costs are less.
Blackberry Curve:
$99-$199 on sale
$30 unlimited internet (BES server $45)
$20 unlimited text
plus whatever phone plan you have
Plus it is really cumbersome to get on many internet pages. You can listen to music, get GPS service (extra $10 month), and it has a camera with a flash which works OK.
Iphone:
$399 (never go on sale)
$20 unlimited internet AND text
plus whatever phone plan you have
Easily browse the web, listen to music, even watch movies. A friend showed me his and I'm totally jealous, it is really cool. Not sure about camera - it must have one.
I just did a lot of research on these two phones for work and found that the main advantage to the blackberry is that you can get exchange email through a BES server (work email if your business uses an exchange server).
My advice - go to an AT&T store and try them both out! Think you'll LOVE the iPhone.

Thanks for the info. I have a bday coming up and hubby wants to buy me a new phone. I hope we get a chance to visit the AT&T shop this coming weekend.

Does anyone know how to cut ot pieces of songs to use as ringtones?
I want to use a McCready Even Flow solo, or perhaps the end of Severed Hand, and I dont know how to only use the "section" of the songs that I want.
