I'm in desperate need for a cell phone. I dropped my other phone and cracked the screen and have been using my old Nokia 3390 as a temporary one.

I'm really leaning towards the cell phones that flip open and have a full keyboard since I'm a pretty big texter. Anyone have any experience with the Motorola A630?

I'm trying to keep the cost under $150. Recommendations welcome

 

audiovox cmd-8940

it's an older verizon phone, no clue if you'll be able to find it but to be honest it is the most indestructible phone i have ever owned.

full keyboards are kinda...bleh in m opinion, with t9 i can text with one hand and it's not that much of a hassle to switch words.

 

provider?

 

Sorry, Cingular.

 

from what i understand... there is no good cingular phone, at least that they offer.

my girl's moto would randomly change setting, delete contact and do weird stuff. her mothers kid the same.

her nokia's external screen is cracked and it is half as old as my phone which has been beat to all hell. the volume controls also are now non-functional.

a friend of mine had one of their phones aswell, again total crap.

i have this gut feeling that phones just don't like cingular, it's as if the network is arsenic to those phones.

 

ive had cingular for 6 or so years and have never had a problem. i love sony ericsson phones, the high end ones, the cheap ones suck

 

you wont find anything new with a keyboard for under $150

 

Found 3 different ones on Ebay :run:

 

ya like ebay counts

 

That's where all my other phones come from h:
