Cell phone suggestion?
SavannahLion:
Since someone else asked here, I thought I'd give it a shot.
I've got a Motorola A630 that's finally died. About half the keys work and none of them are keys I actually need. I think what did it in was when I dropped the phone when it was folded open. Oh well. Right now, I'm with T-Mobile and I've got a really good plan with them, I'll consider switching if the phone is compelling enough.
My requirements is Bluetooth and full QWERTY keypad. Proper connectivity to a PC would be nice too.
Interestingly, T-Mobile doesn't really let you search for phones specifically for QWERTY keypads.
Every time I go to the stores or call T-Mobile, they always try to shove off a Blackberry or Blackberry clone on me. Nice as they are, AT&T's plans for the BB's are a bit too expensive for my tastes and the clones just don't seem to feel right for me.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I have a T-Mobile Ameo (HTC Athena) and T-Mobile MDA Pro (HTC Universal).
The Ameo is like a tiny laptop. it has a 5" screen 8GB disk and you can hook it up to a TV or PC monitor. The MDA pro is (was) a bit more practical. Since they didn't come with a proper successor for the MDA pro (I was waiting for the HTC Omni) I decided to go with the Ameo when my contract was up for renewal.
A smartphone that comes closer to what you had would be the MDA vario III (HTC Kaiser). Here is a demo (in German)

I just called T-Mobile and they told me I qualify for an upgrade, "discount," which is supposed to knock off $100 off the price of any phone as long as I sign on for a 2 year extension on my contract. Um... M'Kay. So I'm online, looking at phones and nearly every phone has a $100 discount if you sign on for a two year contract, even if I'm not a customer to start with.
So I ask the rep' what, exactly, does the upgrade get me? I'm told the upgrade is the $100 discount.
Does this make sense to anyone else? If I'm not a customer, I get the $100 discount for signing on for two years. If I am an existing customer, I get the $100 discount if I sign on for an additional two years....
This is an upgrade? ??? ??? ???
Oh, and in passing, it was mentioned that there is an $18 upgrade fee. When I pressured the rep' for more details, the issue was sidestepped and kept going back to the $100 discount. So if I'm not an existing customer, it works out to be a true $100 discount less taxes and if I am a customer it works out to be an $82 discount less taxes. :dizzy:
Wow... what a good way to take care of your customers there.
BTW, after beating around the bush for thirty minutes, it turns out the MDA is discontinued and the Wing is offered instead.

im on my second vario and i really like them.
when up against not getting a good deal to renew i tend to try to cancel saying im taking my no to a different company, when you get to the department that gives you the code you need to transfer , i find they offer more to keep you as a customer.
