Cell phone suggestions

Here’s a ques­tion for anyone out there… any sug­ges­tions on cell­phone providers and/or phones themselves?

Erica and I have been con­sid­er­ing making a switch from Sprint for a while, mostly because our phone num­bers are still Colum­bia, Mo. area codes.

Our cur­rent top con­tended is Cin­gu­lar, and the Razr. I nor­mally wouldn’t con­sider spend­ing that much on a shoe­phone, but I like its looks, and the fea­tures seem pretty nice, and Amazon has a swanky spe­cial on them.

On the ser­vice side, we’re just look­ing to not get ripped when it comes to prices/minutes. On the phone side, we’re both look­ing for Bluetooth.

I also guess I should enter the “text-message/cameraphone” world that every­one by Erica and I are a part of…

Any thoughts?

    You prob­a­bly know this, but com­pa­nies do charge a fee each time you send a photo, unless you pay extra in your monthly. I don’t use the camera all that much – but you might. Qual­ity is pretty marginal.

    And ask for the ajc dis­count for employ­ees. I think it is 15% with most providers. And they may offer other line-​item dis­counts – maybe on the phone? Just be sure to ask.

    I think the Razr is a real sharp phone….
