PDA FONES WORTH IT?

[Halfwit]

bout to get a new phone/ service plan.

is it worth it ot have a big pda fone with internet and whatnot?

whats the differnece in ther media plans

5mb
10 mb
100mb ????

they have some nice ones, and ive already decided to do the 19.99 a month 3000 mesaging (text,voice,image,video), and maybe there 19.99 internet connect ..ifi decide toget one..

ARE THE YWORTH IT, ??

and yes i am the type pf person that doesnt have accessto a computer much.

[Halfwit]

and i can use it to check ia right?

[The Ninja]

with those packages i'm guessing your going to cingular? It worth it based on your habits. If your very e-mail oriented or Address Book and calendar familiar, then maybe it is for you. But if your only using it to call people, and bling factor get a SLVR L7. Thats what I have and I'm very satisfied. I might be selling mine soon though cuz I'm upgrading to a Blackjack

i want a motorola Q....but it hasn't come out for cingular yet :rant:

[Halfwit]

i was liking the motorola 8525

http://www.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?q_list=true&q_phoneName=Cingular+8525&q_sku=sku310005

im very AIM, oriented, but would mostly use it to check ia messages, as i get alot....

so mostly= aim + ia..

casue i can aim ect through my second job to make it go by quicker, and that is priceless.

[Halfwit]

and yes, cingular.

[The Ninja]

Well....If you have the chedda for it you could drop the money on the a pda phone, or hold out and wait for the Q on cingular and get that.

[Halfwit]

what is the q? link please? didnt see it on there site..????

[Halfwit]

and the 8525 is 399, but others are only 199.

and it would only make it around 90$ a month to have 3000 texts, and internet, and 450 rollover ect.

[Halfwit]

motorola Q

http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/motorola/q.html

seems cool, when is it supposed to come out? 199. is cheap. may have to hold on the my brokeback good for nothing shitpile a while longer.

SLVR?? bling factor?? lol that phones almost as played out as the razr. ALMOST

[The Ninja]

naw.... the L7 isn't played out. The L6 is. When i whip my SLVR out people still tripout and compliment my fone. Especially when they say "Hey i have that fone... but it doesn't look like that." Cracks me up.

[TeeJay]

the 8525 is BADASS, you might wanna go with that, the Q will not be out for cingular for quite a while, if ever. its strictly verizon right now, theres not even a gsm version available on the internet from europe or anything, and that will come before its ever released by a major carrier

but as far as PDA phones from cingular, the 8525 is the best, the nokia e61 is pretty nice too. ive never been a fan of pda/smart phones because every one ive had has had glitches and major fuckups, just comes with the territory of having a small computer lol. the treo, sidekick 3, mda (which is the previous version of 8525) have all fucked up on me

each message or email you send is a certain size, and whatever plan you get is how many can send out i think...10mb worth of messaging should be more than enough, unless ur on it all day

^^ HAAHHAAHAH oh shit... Good ass throw-back.

Thanks for the info.

Those 5mb 10mb and 100mb packages are for the MEdia net tools. (surfing the web and what not). Its the way cingular cashes in on you. When you surf the net on your phone you have to download the pages temporarily, thus the pages are "downloaded" info and slowly detracts from the MB packages (5MB, 10MB, 100MB, etc.). I have the 10MB package, but I pay for the 5MB package. I've been with cingular for some years now. My first phone was through them, and I'll probably stay with them I have 1000 anytime and rollover and 200txt msgs, and I pay about $50 for this. (I have all the usual 3+way calling, conference calls, etc.) I'd suggest getting the 10MB package simply because its not much more than the 5mb but not as hefty as the 100mb. I doubt you'll ever use 100mb in surfing the net. I surf it occasionally (check scores and games and what not) and I barely exceed 3-4MB a month.

[TeeJay]

i believe there are seperate plans for web and aim, i was talking about text and pic messaging

[The Ninja]

Aim is a seperate service. They charge you per aim message unless you subscribe, which is an extra $10-$15 a month I think. I don't use it, if they have AIM they most likely have a phone, just use txt.

10mb
3000 messages

probably gonna be like an extra 49.99 a month.. lol the plan is only 39.99.. ROFL...

[The Ninja]

damn dude..... if your comp is too slow to load aim, you need to be directing a lil more funds in that direction, LOL!

naw I'm just playin, dats gonna be a hefty tag.

[Halfwit]

well if this can let me check ia, then ill shut off that slow as internet at my house and save my goddamn 30$ a month on peoplepcshit...and direct it towards having the phone with more extras than a tricked out scion tc..lol

[The Ninja]

^^ lol. Good luck with that.

[Halfwit]

well i only got internet at home to check ia, and porn.. i get alot of messages on here, and ia is how i stay connected to alot of ppl, so if the fone will do ia, ill cut off internet...

I thought you were joking about the IA part. Lmfao!

Crack me up.

[Halfwit]

ia makes up 90% of my internet time, the other 10 is porn...

i dont even check email....

ia ftw...

its my..

calendar ( evnets meets section)
friends ( project motorsports
porn ( red light district)
email ( private messaging)
shittalking ( whoreslounge)
i get to be popo ( im a mod)

what else could i ask for?

[Kyle]

I have a blackberry 7250, it's an awesome phone/pda but you have to pay data charges. It is really functional and makes it real easy to text message.

[Julio]

Dont waste your time unless you have : you own a business, you have a busy life that require a electronic device to remind you, Helpfull with your job, check email on a regular basis due to business......YOU DONT NEED IT.

Seriously man.... Dont waste your money. The only reason I have a PDA PHONE is because the emails I get through IA, some may require a response ASAP..... and just because there somedays I will not touch a PC at all.
Dont get it for a bling factor.. thats lame... I laugh when I see cats with a $500.00 phone but are on IA looking for a job or work for 8 bucks an hour.. sad.

[The Ninja]

^^ Real talk.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

i have a pda phone and its good for browsing IA when im bored, listening to mp3's emailing, planning, and schedule

i have the a780 from motorola whis is outdated but still the best phone i've ever owned...http://i23.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/d7/1c/83_2.JPG

I think they are. I had a Samsung I500 PDA phone for the longest time. Better then having two things to deal with.
