The price is high, its a thin ass v600 with all the same features. I like it though, not too many problems on my end.

Might want to try this place.

http://www.a1wireless.com/

Though I think this is only for new activations and not renewals. But if you're looking for a new phone/plan this might be a good idea as some phones you actually make money.

It's not a scam. They're a very high volume dealer and do most of their business via new activations on the Internet.

The only problem is you need to know a lot about the wireless service you want, and a lot about what phone you want. They're not much help with the decision making process, but they do offer extremely good deals for new activations.

This is the most sage advice to follow with getting a new provider.

Nothing matters if there isn't any service.

I note with interest that the original poster is in Colorado, a very mountainous state. You'd think T Mobile would be one of the worst providers out there, since they're limited to 1900 MHz GSM. I don't know how they'd get that signal through the mountains, but I guess they do or he wouldn't be using them.

i sell cell phones for a living.. again :wiggle:

i sell verizon, cingular/att and sprint. at best buy, today is the last day for it, but if you sign up with cingular on a one year contract, you can get the moto mpx220 smart phone for $50 after mail in rebate. its 350, with a 300 mail in. pretty damn good deal.

my quick take on the providers..

verizon- best reception, phones are decent
sprint- good reception, lots of nice phones
att/cingular- good reception now that they have combined networks, sweet phones
nextel- overpriced, huge phones, and the 2 way is annoying as hell.
tmobile- uh, the sidekick is cool. :uhhok:

Is this a nationwide deal, and only at bestbuy?
