BF2S Forums Can you guys help out my friend chose a cell phone?

Well, I was going to suggest NOT getting the Motorola E815 because its a piece of shit (its what I have) but it is a flip phone and not t-mobile.

Verizon all the way for me - sorry i got nothing.

Check out the T-509 or T-609 (Trace). You can find both on T-Mobile's US website: http://www.t-mobile.com

I'm trying to help out a friend find a good cell phone that follows these rules:

Not too expensive
Calls the number you want (nothing else really needed)
Small(ish)
Simple
not a flip phone
And is compatible with t-moble.

Some of these can be a bit different but whatever.
  Thanks for all the help you can give.

sounds like you need another hobby my friend......

Get the mil spec motorola.  That way, when your connection fails (and it will no matter your provider), you can chuck it at a wall and the thing still works.  God I love throwing my phone Russel Crow style!

I don't even own a cellphone my friend

And kr@cker

I love you too. So much I could scream.

My advice is to shop on Amazon. I got my Motorola E815 for -$25.00 with a 1-year Verizon plan there. I'm not sure how they do it but I paid $175 and got $200 of rebates a few months later. The same phone would have cost me $70 on the Verizon website.

I have the E815 too and it's got some serious shortcomings--it's bulky, the ringer style gets changed when you carry it in your pocket, the alarm is unreliable, changing the mp3 player volume changes the ringer volume, mediocre contact list, annoying start-up sound, lots of stupid software glitches. But the mp3 player is not bad and I get great connections and sound on my calls. And microSD memory card ftw!
