Best Phone Out There?

I tried the Q at CES this year. I was very unimpressed by it. Plus, windows mobile blows. Although I do think its a good first attempt for Motorola. If you absolutely have to go with verizon, go with the treo 700 (but its still windows mobile) or the samsung. Samsung makes some good phones.

The RAZR is a POS fashion symbol. Stay away.

Personally I prefer the crackberry. It does what I need it to do: Phone calls, calendar, address book, and email. Thats it. No fancy ringtones and crap to distract me. Although I am usually alone on this viewpoint Also, sticking to the basics means it never crashes or malfunctions.

 

I like my Razr V3.

 

also are you looking for a phone or smartphone/PDA device?

 

i have a razr v3x, i dont think its even out yet in the states, and a nextel i530 for the walkie takie

 

Functional, yet fashion conscious.

lol that would be the best way to score a chick at a bar:

"Hey babe, call me sometime" (hands her the other end)

 

As far as sleek goes, you are limited with verizon. Nokia makes some of the best phones out there. The 8800 is an amazing phone and it has looks that will kill, but not for verizon. If you just want something fashionable, get the RAZR. Its so hard to get a nice looking CDMA phone. The only place to get a nice CDMA phone is in korea.

 

Hey Vik,

Take a look at the Nokia 9300 or 9500 - Phone that opens with a keyboard and is BlackBerry e-mail, etc. all in 5 ounces. I have one on order to give it a try - I currently have a Razor V3 and standard BB w/phone - I am trying to consolidate into one - but have not like the form factor of the Treo, etc thus far. These 2 phones are pretty thing and slim and flip open a larger keyboard for ease of typing (I say that knowing the keys are still 1/10 of the size of my meaty fingers).

the communicators are amazing phones. So pimp, especially since bond used it in tomorrow never dies to control the 7 series Unfortunately, they wont work on verizon. You need to get your office to switch to a GSM carrier so you can get cool phones

 

You suggesting Verizon isn't cool???
Where's Greg G? Greg, you gonna stand for that?

 

They have a good network, but CDMA sucks. Espeically for someone who travels overseas and likes the latest phones. Get with the times verizon, the rest of the world (other than Korea) has GSM.

 

so I guess I'm not getting the Q and sticking with my Treo? I hate cell phones......where is my Zack Morris phone, that thing was the ****!!!

 

ohhhh yeah!

I, like you, have a BB from work. I hate carry stuff in my pockets, so I try to carry as least as possible, so the Razr suits me perfectly. The battery life isn't the greatest I noticed, but I really like it for it's sleekness and size. I have the V3c, but now noticed they have a V3m? What's the difference??

 

the m has a memory card slot, better battery and support for iTunes (but who knows if verizon will let you do that). Although hacking verizon phones is so simple.

 

Ah ok thanks. None of which i'd use.

 

I got the Q last week, and been playing with it ever since. If you want a new phone, what do you ned it for?

The Q is a great upgrade from a normal phone, but it is not a true PDA-type phone - it does have most of the functionality but the software is too cumbersome for users who want a true PDA. I got a Q, bc I wanted more than a phone, but slim and light to fit in a pants pocket or blazer.

The Treos and the Samsung are great, but heavy and bulky - these are definitely the best options if you want a PDA or mini computer in your phone.

 

yeah personally I used to be about the flashy cell phone that would blink in 50 colors and play 2 songs at once in surround sound. But then I realized, I really just want a phone that works. I keep my phone on vibrate all the time anyways. Plus, the blackberry does everything I need and nothing more (plus no flip to break )
