Damn cell phone...

Sign in to disble this ad
I've had this boost moblie phone for 3 months now and it's pissed me off time and time again. It has dropped calls, dosn't get good coverage anywhere, and it does this retarted thing where I'll get a text a day after someone sent it (this only happens once in awhile) and it's made me miss band practice a few times and today I missed a booty call!!! That was the last straw for me lol. End rant...(Note: This isn't a bash on boost mobile, just my expirience with them)

I'm thinking about switching back to verizon, they've never let me down. I still don't know which phone is good since the last fairly new phone I had was an envy 2. Does anyone have a droid or an android? Those are the two that have caught my eye recently and was wondering what other people thought about them? Any other phones that are good?

My fiancee had a boost mobile phone and experienced a lot of the problem that you describe.
She ditched it when I got a Droid Icredible and gave her my old Voyager, which is pretty much the Envy 2.
All problems have since ceased.

I'm loving my Droid X - and Verizon's serivce coverage. It has completely erased my desire for an iPhone.

Are Boost Mobile and T Mobile the same company? T Mobile's coverage sucks, period. Can't wait until my two year contract with them is up.

I was looking at the droids, they look cool but their so big and I hate big phones. I'm looking into the blackberry curve and going with N-telos. Does anyone have n-telos? How is there coverage?

I have a Droid Incredible, its not that big really, much smaller than the iPhone that looks about the size of the original Game Boy.

When I was shopping for a new phone, I debated between the Incredible and the Droid X. At first, I was thinking the size of the DX might be bothersome, but it's not at all. It fits nicely into my back pocket, and the large screen is really appreciated.

I cant put a phone in my back pocket. I'll end up sitting on it and smashing my phone with my glorious ass.
