Sign in to disble this ad
We are currently just out of our Verizon contract, naturally they want us back. My wife and I have LG ENV phones with no internet. We are considering new phones and possibly smart phones. As we understand it we are looking at about $150 a month for the 2 of us with internet packages. Are there any better deals out there? Any phone suggestions? Etc.etc.
....Thanks Tom

HTC has a few smart phones, both Windows and Android-based (I would recommend the Android ones for obvious reasons), iPhone (obviously), and Samsung has a new phone on the block that is pretty cheap and gets rave reviews.
The recommendation here in Norway is, for the time being: HTC Desire and Samsung Lindy M5650. And the iphone has obviously a high market share, I've never used one so I wouldn't know *lol* |

One thing I have learned is to always compare contract and non-contract fees, because sometimes, even though you buy a smart phone at full price, the total comes out cheaper than a three-year contract.
Eg.: With the phone I'll eventually buy and a smartphone service, it would cost me 200 for the phone and then 55$/month. Cheaper than a landline here.

It meant 200 minutes by day, unlimited evenings and weekends, voicemail, caller ID, and 500mbs of Internet data. Unlimited data doesn't exist in Canada. We're one of the slowest, and priciest when it comes to Internet.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Waco, TX | | | My brother is on Sprint and he says they have the cheapest data plans. He has been happy with them for the most part. If you go to sprint wait for the HTC EVO to come out this summer. It looks like it is going to be an absolutely killer 4G phone. I think it will be worth the wait.
If you decide not to wait then look at one of HTC's other Android based phones. HTC has good hardware and pretty good UI's.

We are at about $160 per month with 1400 minutes, unlimited texts, and unlimited data/internet.

Thanks that is pretty hefty. Just not sure we need it at that price.

|  | is, against all odds, still a scuba viking. | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Alta Loma, California | | | go with sprint, 69.99 per month with unlimited everything (including calls to phones with other service providers). 129.99 for an unlimited 2-line family plan. I'd recommend the HTC Hero, android based, responsive touchscreen. Or, wait until this summer when the HTC EVO 4g comes out: 1 ghz processor, 2 cameras (one for live video chat, one 8 megapixel for still shots), HDMI output. It's gonna be pretty awesome.
*sigh* I sell this stuff at my current job.
