Back To School Phone Guide 2009
Mid August is approaching – the beginning of the school year is approaching too. It is time for the teenagers to cool down and to say good bye to the summer late night beach parties. You say to people who you have met on the beach “See you next summer!”, you go to the rocks and say “See ya!” to the endless sea, then you sit down for a few minutes to listen to the sound of the waves, and as you are taking your cell phone out of your pocket it falls in the water. How would you go to high school or college with no cell phone? How will you text your classmates, while you are in class listening to a boring lection? Where would you watch YouTube clips instead of preparing your homework? Indeed, you will need a new cell phone. Of course, nowadays life is a lot more difficult without a handset. This article is for those of you who have lost/broken their cell phone or simply want a new one, but do not know what to buy right now. High school or college student, it does not matter. We have selected the best and most appropriate offers from the current market, suitable for you. We truly hope that our guide will help you choose your new cell phone.

Why in the hell is the Tour recommended for VZW, but the Curve is recommended for Sprint? Also, the G1 over the MyTouch 3G and no mention of the 8520 for T-Mobile which can be had for as low as $0.01, what kind of stupid recommendations are these?

Why so SERIOUS!!!!

Quemical- Thats funny, Good one hahah VDubb- HAVE YOU SEEN THE TOUR?!? Wonderful, its like an upgraded 8900, with a bold keyboard and for anyone, verizon, sprint, metro, t mob, att. Love the sim card slot. And a curve for sprint? Cause thats the only good phone they got, who wants sprint anyway? Plus they dont have any of the rumors on there for sprint. The 8520 is new and i dont think people will like that phone, they went for an iphone back, but failed. nothing is wrong with the tracpad...ITS AN OPTICAL MOUSE! THE EPIX AND OMNIA HAD IT....OPTICAL MOUSE!!!!! Not tracpad! Even safari wants me to check spelling on tracpad... and the g1 is cheaper than the mytouch or should be at least... and you can get the 8520 from a t-mobile store for 1 cent....do research and rething what you said or delete your post

I understand why you would reccomend smartphones to the older group, and the dumb phones for teens, but most of my friends and I use smartphones. I would feel really limited without my iPhone or a blackberry. And also, the Bold for att ? Also, the 8520 was a perfect opportunity to reccomend a smartphone to teens for tmobile.

10. matistight posted on 12 Aug 2009, 13:14

Blackberry is for adults mainly but i agree on the bold

11. matistight posted on 12 Aug 2009, 13:15

BOLD INSTEAD OF JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samsung Alias2 ftw. the chocolate 3 is horrible i had three of them and they kept resetting themselves so they wouldn't be reactivated spent a total of three hours on the phone with verizon not the happiest verizon costumer

i dont understand why peeps hate on sprint. so they made bad choices and havent offered the best customer service but the plans and the network especially internet speeds have proven to be up there if not better tha vzw and att. everyone needs to get off their high chair (just like iphone people) and not bash on something you know nothing about. do the research then make an informed decision on who you pick or decide to bash. not a sprint employee

yeah i agree with nalu808. i've had service with multiple carriers and they're all different and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. i currently have sprint service with my pre and i've never had an issue with the company. i think it's probably cause i don't complain about stuff thats my fault... i hate carrier x cause i went over my minutes and broke my phone cause i drove over it and fell into a swimming pool. then carrier x shut off my service because i haven't paid my bill in 2 months. so when i went into carrier x and told them i hate my phone and wanted to buy a new one but i just bought one 3 months ago. carrier x said i wasn't eligible for a discount and the phone would be full price. my service at my home sucks with carrier x. did i mention i live in a lead box in the mountains? these people are morons.
