It's unfortunate that Verizon Wireless can't seem to keep up with the Jones'. The only phone they offer that really interests me (aside from this abomination that I currently have) is their AudioVox CDM-8300. Unfortunately, it's received horrible reviews and I have no choice but to believe them.

T-Mobile has a slightly better selection with comparably priced plans. Cingular's phones tend to be more expensive, but their plans are well priced and the have an even better selection. Finally, there is AT&T Wireless. They have the best phones and the best phone prices. However, their service plans have always been overpriced. But not any more.

AT&T Wireless seems to have prices comparable to the other players. The offer two networks, an older TDMA network, and the newer GSM network. While the coverage on the older network is better, GSM is the future (or the present, if you live in Asia or Europe). Their phones are priced VERY well, and the selection is HUGE. The only thing left to be seen is how good their GSM network is. The offer a 30-day money-back just-pay-for-airtime guarantee so I think, next month when our contract is up, that's where Jess and I will be going.

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the Nokia 3650. Symbian is just too cool to pass up and I have a feeling that it will be the phone of tomorrow. Jess might like the Nokia 6800 with the really cool flip out keyboard or perhaps the or perhaps the Sony Ericsson T616 with integrated camera and bluetooth. The Nokia 6600 would also be a nice choice if available by the time we purchase. It will feature the Symbian OS version 7.0s with the standard Series 60 platform.

So, needless to say, I'm happy that I looked at AT&T wireless again. Let's just hope their service doesn't suck. I'll let you know.
