I need cell phone advice...

I can only recommend the iPhone, but you’d have to switch to AT&T.

how’s AT&T?

I’m very happy with the new iPhone. The GPS comes in handy, pretty much everyday.

If not, I’d say keep it real with a Motorola StarTAC.

I’ve never had another provider, so I have nothing to compare with AT&T. The service seems fine.

Great idea peedub. I had one of those, back in the day…

If I could get one hooked up I would. Ok, maybe that’s taking it too far…

I’ll dig around the house, I might still have my old one. If I find it, its all yours.

YES

well, all the above advice would mean you’d have to change your cell phone service provider. since that’s not the issue, i say keep your contract and get the G1 phone. my friend has it and let me play with it recently. it’s pretty good and has a low learning curve.

@finkelitis: I had AT&T in seattle around 5 years ago. Service was great.

I don’t know about other phones but, I love my iphone.
Aside from all the features, the service is also good.

Personally I am interested in the G1. I’m a heavy Google user so I am enticed by the seamless porting of data. It might not be as slick or cool as the iPhone but I guarantee you’ll see some very interesting applications made for it – Apple controls their App Store with a tight iron fist and deletes duplicate applications even though they may have different functionality. Regardless, do the math before you buy, because the data plans you often need to buy push the lifetime phone ownership costs into the ‘ridiculous’ category compared to a regular phone.

Well, I just bought a G1. We’ll see how it goes.

YAY! let us know what you think of it.

I have to wait for two weeks to get it, because it’s on backorder. It’ll be a little while…
