I had a set of these. All I could hear was the sound of the ocean. Much like when I put a sea shell to my ear.

I have the Samsung ACE. It is about a year and half old. Works well. Much like Jims Blackberry.

I'm not the greatest fan of Microsoft, but I still am partial to an operating system that I can customize and make the way I want. Apple and BlackBerry force a this is the way it is approach, and that I don't like. I might like the Android too, but I don't know enough about it yet.

The Tilt will run any software you want that has ever been written for CE or Pocket PC or Windows Mobile. So does this make it the software King without even trying? CE has been around since the early 90's.

Not all new ones have such great batteries, especially if they come with one of those big screens. Those things burn power. And also if it has a camera and you use the flash a lot.

If you only need one for phoning and texting might be wise to look for a trusty older model.

I recently got a new phone but I'm not happy with every aspect about it. It's a Nokia and they have various things such as a special USB cabel that didn't come with the package that only works with a particular phone model if you wanna upload stuff on it from the computer or vice versa. That kind of stuff pisses me off.

Just make sure you use "male" match when buying a phone.

Female math: The new Pre from Sprint is just $199.00!

Male math:

$500.00 ($199.00 my arse, only after the rebate, which you may never see)
$300.00 for the accessories, like a car charger, handsfree kit, extra battery, etc....
$2,400.00 ($99.99 per month x 24 months for the mandatory unlimited data plan)

So before you pay over $3k for a phone, make sure you're doing the math correctly.
