awww. no verizon?

THere arent that many Verizon resellers... lemme check that out... Letstalk has awesome service from what I've heard, they have their own fulfillment centers, other guys, I think, like intelenet are just reselling their sales to other fulfillment centers.

there usually arent. circuit city just started carrying verizon. i've been looking for it, since it's one of the only good providers in boston.

i'm considering getting the i90. if only amazon still had it for free.

supposedly if u buy 2 sony eriksson t300 fones and get a family plan, u get $150 rebates back. i did this in march though. not sure if that's still available.

Actually the i90c is free after rebates on letstalk.com

which ones of the above are the best phones ? My contract with cingular will expire in about 2 months, so i am looking to get a new phone.

isekii · Aug 13, 2003

If you go to one of those Mom and Pop shops
downtown in your city, You can usually get these phones free with a contract and not even bother with the rebates.

You would also get those car charger and what not for free.

Holdengk · Aug 13, 2003

you cannot get the high end phones like the i95cl free at mom and pop, and these "free" phones are usually the much older models. with those insane rebates like the $150 on the 3650, these are free "good" phones.

Holdengk · Aug 13, 2003

I've heard good things about the Siemens A56 for Cingular, and the letstalk price is 50 less than everybody, but depends on yr part of country... the Cing. GSM network is only in parts.

Nokia has always seemed to work for me. But the new one that they have now is just ugly.... I dunno if I'd want to be seen with that phone. My service will end in about 2 months ...hoping that they will have a better looking (normal small) phone that perfroms well like the 3360 I got now.

Holdengk · Aug 13, 2003

The nokia 6800 or 6200 seems ok looking.

ATT Wireless offers webexclusive rates for some plans. Make sure you check their site first. You can get an extra 100 anytime on some plans by going through thier online store. Oh and they make all thier rebates instant rebates, which helps the tax burden. Good post though.

Holdengk · Aug 13, 2003

yeah, but letstalk matches most of those "extra 100 minutes" and has generally lowest prices for phones.

Growltiger · Aug 13, 2003

I just ordered the 3650 from Amazon, still have to send in 2 x $150 in rebates. Oh well, it's worth it (I hope).

kindest · Aug 13, 2003

nice list, now i just need to go thru it.

no, depends on which mom and pops. some of those asian ones give out pretty good deals. back, hmm, like 2 years ago, my brother got a nokia 8290 for free with his $35 plan, and i added on to his in a family plan fashion and got it for $60. that's a pretty good deal. and it was a high-end phone back then. still one of the smallest now

rebates are def. a hassle, but from what i've heard about letstalk's rebates, they always come.

sorry, double post

cbeck · Aug 14, 2003

Anyone besides me think you should wait to see what's going to happen to prices when your cell number becomes portable on 11/24/03? It should drive down prices significantly when they can no longer hold you "hostage" by your number.

CoolTechie · Aug 14, 2003

I just got the Nokia 3595 from Amazon.com this weekend

$00.01
$-50 Amazon Rebate
$-30 ATT 1 year contract (50 w/2 year)
--------------------------
-$79.99

I think its a good deal.. free nights & weekends for 29.99

Holdengk · Aug 14, 2003

Good deal dude, the Nokia 6800 is a great price too at letstalk.

Yeah, that will def. be a boon to the industry, I really doubt that it will drive prices down significantly... i think there is an unsaid oligopoly on pricing on plans.
