Ok so my old phone died and its still under the 1 year replacement policy thing that sprint offered or something. well i am gonna bring it in and try to get store credit... I right now have a blackberry (my dad's old 8703e) and i LOVE it. i really would like to get another PDA phone...preferably a blackberry or something that is equal to the BB. The phone must be able to tether since i plan to add that into my cell plan by x-mas...what phone should i get. (Sprint phones!)

I'd say go for the Samsung ACE, Blackberry Curve 8330 or HTC Touch

How are those? I've been thinking about getting one in the near future.

IPHONE 3g!!!!

I tried one of those out for like 4 hours... they are SAWEET!

SPRINT! there is no iphone on the SPRINT network...no way to unlock it either since sprint is CDMA and iphone is GSM

MUHAHAHAHAAA sux 2 b u!

na i got a ipod touch and i personally hate it. i want a blackberry or PDA like phone also cause they work as good MP3 players...

Bleh, iphones are just gimmicky. They don't have half the features that any other good smartphone has, and they're generally more expensive. IIRC you'll pay well over a thousand dollars in the first two years in service fees. Oh, and the OP said Sprint.

By the way, I suggest you ditch Sprint at first opportunity. They suck. D: I'm very tempted just to pay my ETF now and get out before it's too late. xP

I couldn't agree more, I have AT&T but I chose the Blackjack and Blackjack II over both iPhones. WinMo is a much better OS, especially with 6.1 coming out little by little. Its a whole lot cheaper operate and easier to customize a WM phone. Plus, you can buy your music online and use WMP to sync it to your phone instead of using iTunes.

I have been with Sprint for 2 years now (family plan...my Mom for over 10 i think) and we have never had any problems other then the ONE time i went to Europe. I had my Grandma's phone while i was there so that really didnt affect me either. Personally i have been wanting to switch to a GSM carrier so i could get a phone i saw in Europe but Sprint has been ok with me. Only a few areas where i drop the call...and there usually less then 100 feet streatches (odd but whatever) oh and if you want to get out of sprint without paying, go somewhere where you always drop the calls...make a few calls...then call sprint and get credit for the dropped calls. do it enough times and they will just say you are droping to calls to much so we are cancleing your contract free of charge. (I looked up how to get off Sprint for a while to move over to T-Mobile.)

Sorry for double post but i have to bump this instead of make a new thread asking. Do i go and jump on a Blackberry curve or wait for the Bold? The Bold looks amazing and im willing to wait for it. what do you guys think?

been using them for a while, and if you cam get past the fact that it runs on windows mobile, HTC makes good ones. right now i am running verizons HTC 5800.

i can live with windows mobile but eww windows...sorry had to say it. Linux i have used for over a year and a 1/2 now. only one windows box left and thats for syncing my ipod touch and video editing with the program my mom bought. also isnt the HTC 5800 new O_O i heard about a HTC with a qwerty keyboard comming.

agreed, not a big fan of windows, but if you can live with the os on your phone then they are pretty good phones. ummm most HTC phones have a full qwerty keyboard......both my new 5800 and an uncles old HTC xv6800
have a slideout qwerty keyboard.

GAH! sprint sucks then x-X the mogul is the only HTC with a slide out keyboard on sprint....and is that EVEN a HTC. (checks) yea it is... also the Touch doesnt have one O_o. Well it looks like i will not be getting a new phone anywase till about January cause i want to see the new phones Sprint is supposed to have out by then (the Bold and maybe the Thunder) and i heard some new HTC's are on there way.
