Now that I've got your attention......
Cell Phones
What do you use? Do you like it? What would you differently in your next cell phone purchase?
It bears mentioning that all I want is a phone, not a camera and mp3 player. Requistites: - Must have a vibrate ringer option... I hate ringtones
- Solid construction. I fall often.
- No camera, no games, no web browser needed
- Probably a direct contradiction with the above point about web, but I'd like the ability to use the data network (EDGE?)
- QWERTY keyboard so I can IRC over the data network... java might be needed for that one
Lemme have it; feel free to link to various models and makes. I can live without the IRC aspect of it, but it would be nice to have a phone/irc only pocket device, no extra bells or whistles.
Yes Bom, it's about time 
also, due to popular demand:

I wish cell phone companies had a "Crappy Phone" option, I wish I could get one with no games, no crazy ringtones, no color screen, and no camera in it.

Only sign up for a year contract...don't let them string you along for 2...cause the companies will all make you fuckin furious in their own ways.

People can only get a hold of me by email or IRC at the moment.
My car is on it's last legs and I want to be able to call for a lift home or a tow.

i feel you about hating ringtones. if i hear another cheesy rap song on someone's phone as their ringer i'm going to hit myself in the face with a brick.
verizon is OK as far as service goes, you can get a decent signal in most populated places. i paid $50 for my so-called "free" phone and received a $50 cash rebate in return.. it took me 3/4 months of nagging and hassling them to send me the check.
anyway, my phone is the most basic piece of shit you can get for the verizon network anymore, i think. it's the basic LG: no camera, no mp3 bullshit, no cheesy games. it may have a web browser but i never fuck with that part of it. the wallpapers are stupid and the ringtones all suck - plus there's no vibration only mode, which is really the only big downside to my phone besides the fact that it turns itself off randomly (probably due to my mistreatment of it).

Hey guys, stop derailing blinkidiot's thread, will you? If you want to insult each other for kicks make yourself a thread in OTD.
