Cell Phone opinions..from a Cell Phone tech (Score 2)

I'm one of the unfortunate ones that has to deal with tech support with cell phones...here's what phones I recommend, etc..Analog Motorola- Motorola phones (excluding the startac) seem to be able to take alot of abuse...although face it...they just aren't all that cool... The Analog Startacs (the 3000 at least) seem to have signal issues.... Nokia - 252, 918 - good all around phones..stay away from 638s.. Stay away from Ericssons..Pansonics, Necs..etc (luckly most, aside from Ericsson, have gone out of the cell business) Tdma, Pcs- Nokia 5100/6100 series are good all around phones....with decent features...stay away from the 8860(at&t), it looks bad ass, but seems to have poor reception. The qualcomm 860-890 seems to be a good all around phone. Cdma- The new Samsung 850 is great and packed with features...battery life sucks on it though... Don't bother with the Samsung 211, you can get a smaller 411 for the same price...these have the same features. Startac 7760- Good Cdma phone...easy to break... really easy to ruin the antenna on this phone.. Audiovox 4000s and up seem to be pretty durable, and look pretty damn cool... Stay away from qualcomm 820's...the jack on the bottom of the phone for charging is very prone to breaking... Have fun choosing... but do yourself a favor..stay away from ericsson some fun- some codes to get into cell phones programming moto- fcn 0(x13) rcl..use the * to scroll.. nokia..252 and up... *#639# ericsson.. 987 menu menu or fcn fcn..the # to scroll.. Audiovox... lock code + function the #1 or #81... fnc #941273#..send to scroll... or 289 fcn#1.. Have fun...
