Well ill start off with some background info. I used to live in San Diego (im currently 18) when i went to highschool i had to have the coolest latest greatest Phone for Verizon. now im in Kentucky and my only option is Cingular. However Which phone to pick from? most people out here are hicks (in my opinion) and own these ridiculously old color flip phones, I want something that says hey look at me, Im your first civilized business man out here, What ever i get must be a Pda/ Smart Phone, theres no turning back to those ugly basic phones anymore. I want something with an Os like windows mobiles, NO PALM software. Now i have also owned in one point in time every pda phone made by verizon, and overall i loved the Palm 700W. However keep in mind im still a Kid, im a senior in high school, All i want is an awesome phone that will work for cingular, So yes unlocked Phones are also an option. I like the Iphone but i cant justify spending $600. Probably $400 Tops, 2 Year Contracts are ok.
