I have no clue about cell phones and I need help - it's time for my free upgrade.

What model is your current phone? It was my understanding you could only exchange for free if you exchange for the same or lesser value phone.

Maybe that depends on your plan - the above listed are my choices for my free upgrade. My current phone is a Motorola VGA

I have no clue...pick the one that looks the prettiest :biggrin:

Are any of them blue?

I have a Samsung right now and I really like it. Now I don't think my model is one of your choices but I would go with one of those or a LG. I have had a few LG and never had any problems.

I've had an LG4500 for the last year with no problems? :shrug:

I got the all black Samsung. Sound quality is kinda ####ty, I have to position it over my ear jeeeeest right....I would have gotten teh LG if it had internal antenna.

Tin foil helmet is obstructing the audio and the RF? :lol:

The ONLY phones I ever get (every 2 years) are LG phones.

That's why God created paint....so we could change the color of our phones:shrug:

If you ever go in government buildings/areas in which you need a security clearance, don't get a phone with a camera on it.

We got new phones a while back right before my ship got into the yards but now I can't bring it with me because it has a camera on it :ohwell:

So the LG seems to be the top choice of my options - any clue on which of the two LG selections I have would be better?

You have a great plan because I have been trying to figure out what cell to buy since my contract expired 9/10/06. I have to pay a $18 upgrade fee as well as something for the new phone.

My top listers seen here (http://www.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/camera-phones.jsp?_requestid=163670) out of a vast majority of choices being as though I have to pay a portion of the discounted cost anyway are:

Samsung D807 (my cost $79.99 from $279.99)

Motorola SLVR L7 Pink (my cost $99.99 from $349.99)

Sony Ericsson W810i (my cost $99.99 from $349.99)

I was highly against getting another flip phone after what I've been through with the current and the thought of being stuck with a phone for 2yrs after I sign the dotted line discourages me from making the choice but I am bending towards getting another flip. I just hope my sim card carries over my ring tones I just bought.

Lexi,


I just upgraded and I had email my ringtones to my new phone since they were mp3. But my favorite ringtone did not transfer and they don't offer it anymore. Before you upgrade check to make sure they transfer.

It was my understanding you could only exchange for free if you exchange for the same or lesser value phone.

:nono: Same or higher value. They deduct the amount of your old phone and you have to pay the difference.

Right now I have the Sony Ericsson z520 and have no problems with it. When I go for my upgrade, I will choose another sony ericsson.

Why upgrade? Do you know how to access all the features of your current phone?

I've been trying to upgrade too. Do you have Cingular? They have customer forums for each brand of phone. I've used that to try and help me decide. You can find out a lot about the phones that way.

Thanks. Great idea. I actually, am giving thought to possibly switching my contract though before I commit to making the final upgrade. Cingular has left me hanging a lot lately. But when I had the great fall of 06 I dropped my phone and I really need to stop procrastinating and do something, cause the phone really doesn't work right anymore! :lmao:

Get a phone with an SD or mini-SD card, and take everything with you to your new phone.. Save pictures, contacts, ringtones and even music to it.. I've got a 512 MB card in my phone, and bought BG a 1 Gig card for hers. We can download pictures from the phone directly to the computer (FAST) without having to e-mail or Picture-mail them first.

Switch to Verizon..

Switch to Verizon, I've always had Motorola phones and haven't had any problems.

Does anyone have the RAZR V3? Do you like it?

Dunno, but I read on the Verizon cellphone site that you can upgrade from your present phone to the Motorola RAZR for $49.99, but you have to sign another 2 year contract again.

I'm thinking about going over there to their store, next to Starbucks, and seeing what they have to say.

It IS a cool looking phone.

It IS a cool looking phone. My wife gets a deal through work, so we just got two free, along with $20/mo off the service price. The phones should get here tomorrow. :yay:

Finally made the commitment. My cell was hanging on by a prayer with just the ear bud piece to hear through and then THAT stopped working so the phone was completely useless.

I went in and upgraded (2yr contract) to the LG CU500. It's a flip phone and I was against them but I couldn't find a non-flip I liked enough except the Treo and too many people in my family/office are rockin' that. Plus the decision wasn't getting any easier. But, I am more impressed with this phone than not. Oh and I did lose everything including phone #'s pics, and text msgs because this phone is 3G and my Sim card wasn't compatible.

It was $149.99 minus $50 mail in rebate so the phone is $99 to existing but $49.99 to new customers (with new activations the cost is $99). :confused:

I hear the iPhone might be really nice for Cingular.
