Hey all, my dad said heel get me a cell phone for christmas (yes, late, but he didnt get me shit lol)

so I have Verizon, but my dad and his girl friend are on AT&T / Cingular... so I could switch over for AT&T phones

I was thinking an iPhone, cause they look pretty sick, but the lack of disk space makes me stay away from that (I need like 25 gigs)

but as far as verizon I was looking at the Voyager, and its essentally the same thing except the Voyager has physical buttons, and the iPhone is basically designed pretty well for a cell phone... but theyre like the same price (I dont think I want a two year contract)

So help mee! I have a 2+ year old razer, and it sucks balls, its getting really slow and takes 5-12 seconds to open my Contacts list...

+1 for help

I don't think you're going to fine any phone with 25GB space, I'm not sure about the voyager, but I think even that only has support for an 8gb sd card.

I'm pretty sure 8GB is the limit right now for phones, although you could get more than one sd card and switch between them, but why do you need so much space?

I have a Nokia N95, and I love it, had no problems with it and it does everything I want it too, have a look at that.

lemme re-phrase this

I think the iPhone replacing my ipod and cell phone is highly un-likely, my current iPod is at 25 gigs, with music, pictures, and videos, and I dont feel like sacrificing stuff just so I can have a new shiny toy, id rather have my current which has room for 3 more gigs rather than an, "All In One"

the iTouch has 16GB which is close but still kind of far from my new iPod....

as far as non Apple Cell phones go, im not looking for Disk space... Im looking for a phone, i simply mentioned the disk space because of the iphone, iphones cool for the media properties for me, the touch screen is nice too but not my reason for my interest.

It's not meant to replace anything but the phone, per-say. Don't think of it that way. Think it as its more like you're getting a new phone and an 8-Gig Nano iPod combined. I still have my 30 Gig iPod that I use sometimes, but I put all my favorite music and videos on the iPhone.

True that, but how do you go about the different syncs?

I Mean without limiting my other ipod to 8gb

Can anyone answer my question on loading up ONLY selected songs to an iPhone, and then using that computer to load up all of my songs to my current iPod?

What I do is I just made a playlist and put all the music in there and have the iPhone sync from the playlist. Then for videos and other stuff its just like the Pod, you just select what you what it to sync.

The bad: Speakerphone quality wasn't the greatest, and talk-time battery life was on the shorter side. The Tilt was sluggish at times, and picture quality was subpar. We also had problems acquiring a GPS fix.

Sounds like my current phone, besides the internet, windows and the QWERTY... could you say the above was bullshit though?
