ive got a couple year old toshiba ive almost never used (it ran haltech software once, yay)

 

First of all, those free phones on ebay are with



1. NEW ACTIVATIONS , meaning new phone number, new account, and NO you can't keep your existing number.



2. 1/2 of the time they are scams or have rebates that are impossible to get with retarted time windows that you have to send the rebate form in (for example 4 months after activation but not anything past 6 months)





PDA phones honestly are extremely quirky and tend to break a lot of times. I have a iPAQ 6515 with cingular and i HATe the POS. It gets a day battery life if im lucky.





If your sticking with a Verizon PDA phone and you currently are in contract, you are going to spend about 300 - 500 dollars off ebay for a no contract Verizon PDA. If you can warrent that price, then get the samsung, which BTW is a very good reliable company.

 

yeah if you are getting a phone on ebay, i dont think verizon uses sim cards do they? with cingular you can just unlock the phone and throw your sim card in and your set.

 

I won't be getting one off e-bay, I realized that I REALLY need insurance (I've replaced my current phone twice in the last several months), and I can't insure a used phone.



I'll be buying new from Verizon. I'll be comparing the Treo 650, BlackBerry 7250, and BlackBerry 7130e, as they're priced the same, and anything else costs too much.

 

don't get the treo 700 if u like a phone that works

 

did he list that?

 

Bah, not gonna happen. I'm not eligible for upgrading my phone until some time in 2007, so if I did, I'd have to pay full retail price ($500-$600).

 

yeah i got stuck on that **** paid 200 for my nokia because of the contract. If i renewed for another 6 months or something would have been 90
