I am looking into geting in all in one phone, mp3 player, calendar, and email.
I like the touch screen phones that are out but would like your reviews on if you have one.
What I am looking at are:
iPhone
Blackberry Storm
Samsung Instinct
Are you pleased with the phone and would recomend it?
What is your monthly bill?
Are you able to recieve internet anywhere or had any prob with your connections?
What is your pros and cons with the phone?
Thanks for your help.
My husband just got the blackberry storm and he loves it. At first he wanted to get the Iphone but after a ton of comparison shopping he decided on the blackberry.
My husband always said he thought the iphone was overrated until he got one for Christmas this year and now he is OBSESSED with it. He thinks it's the greatest thing he's ever owned. It's not cheap monthly though. We have a family plan plus his internet for his iphone which is $40 a month.
My husband has the Samsung Instinct and really likes it. He was going to get the I-Phone and did a lot of comparison shopping before he purchased. He got the phone through Wirefly.com and after a rebate it was FREE! He had to sign a contract with Sprint for 2 years but he is happy with there service so it worked out well.
My daughter (14) and I got Iphones in April 08 and love them. We've had no issues, good connections. I no longer have to carry my laptop when we go on a trip which is a huge plus for me. It has been pretty sturdy as well...I expected daughter to lose or damage it by now...this is her 4th cell phone.
She is on my account...we have unlimited text, etc ($30/mth), data plan ($20 each/mth) and the bill runs around $170/month.
Husband has the newest version of Iphone since 10/08 and loves it as well. His plan is about $160/month. He is on a plan with high number of minutes due to his job.
Hope that helps!
I have a new iPhone and I live it. I have had it since Christmas and have not had too many issues with it. My bill is about $110.00 per month and that includes minutes, unlimited data (email, Internet) and unlimited text messages. I am able to get on the Internet almost everywhere (I am typing this on my phone now). The only issues that I have had is that there are a few spots that I will drop calls. Other than that great phone!!
Hi Trish,
My whole family just got iphones and we LOVE them!! They have so many applications for various things, and have had no problems with the internet. The phones were $200 each and our bill for two phones with internet, texting and 700 minutes is about $160/month.
Hope you like it!

I was in your exact same situation at the end of December. My old Palm Treo needed to be replaced and I debated forever about which phone to go with. I knew that the main thing was that it had to be touch screen and have internet access. I decided to get the iphone. I love it. It was $200 to get the phone. My monthly bill for just myself is around $110 (I get a discount through Mary Kay which is about 15% a month though). I'm really happy with my iphone. I've downloaded a bunch of free applications that I love and a couple that my kids love as well. I haven't had any major problems with the internet ~ I've had one or two occasions where the browser simply closed down - I assume because I had too many pages open.
I looked at the Storm but I didn't like the icons or the click screen ~ I also didn't want to have to switch to Verizon. My sister has the Storm and likes it though.
Overall, I'm glad that I went with the iphone.
We just got iphones and live the phone, but HATE the service! We had verizon for over 7 years and never had dropped calls! I had a verizon blackberry which I loved! my husband really wanted the iphone so we switched! The iphone is very cool, lots of neat features and great internet surfing! but i have had a huge problem with dropped calls and poor connections. IF i had it to do over, i would keep verizon and get the storm. the storm does almost as much as the ipone and verizon is the best!
