Buying a new Cell phone: Vendor check and is this a good phone?
Morning all,
Well a bit of back story. One night I spilled water on my Razor and well it no longer works. Rogers wants $500 to replace it, to that I say bull honky. This morning I was hunting for a place to buy one online and came across this site and this phone.
Here is the phone and vendor.
My questions?
well is the online store worth a damn?
is the LG chocolate phone good enough for a jet set guy like me?
What phone do you want, or have and like?
My Needs?
Well here is what I don't need:
- Music
- camera (video or still)
- PDA or smart phone.
It has to:
- be GSM
- have bluetooth
- sexy
Ok you have your mission. lets talk about phones.
flick.

Never used the Chocolate bar, never saw this site before, my Razr met with a wall. And what phone do I want? iPhone junior: Music (iPod), sms, calls, calander, calculator, contacts, settings, job done.
Ok, I should ahve made this part of my description.
Love the iPhone.. but I'm not waiting nor am I interested in paying so much for it.
woot.

It lacks the 850MHz band so if you're on Cingular that's kinda a hindrance. On Rogers in Canada you'll suffer somewhat but not a lot as their towers are always 850/1900 MHz?you'll lose about 30% of the spectrum.
The SoftBank/Samsung 707SC
The lala West store which is legit.
Downsides: ringtones limited to mp4/3gpp and 300 kb. Call waiting is kind of quiet. No predictive text input for English.
Upsides: Seriously hot looking and handles calls just fine, which is all I care about in a phone.
