Hi `Member's,
I'm like a amish type boy or a beachBum Country `Boy, & have never had a cell phone, but I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts about what is the best & what is not

When I get the time, I'm going to go back to zchool & take a course on Cell Phones & see what is best for what I want & need...I think it's a 4 year course ..I hope I can pass


I hope `Duane doesn't get to confused & it will be interesting to see what he gets ? (Let us know `Duane - OK)..


Is this a good deal below ? (I really don't know)
BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900


2 year contract $199.99...No committment price $549.99 AT&T


<HR>FREE SHIPPING
WITH ONLINE PURCHASE



<HR>*1-year contract, 2-year contract, and No Commitment Pricing require voice plan with qualifying monthly data plan required.






Be bold.

Space, you don't have to go to a FOUR YEAR course to understand how to use a cell phone. Go to a local store, talk to an employee about learning the basics, start off with a basic phone, and work your way up. It should take a month to be able to understand a basic flip phone.

And back to the issue at hand: if you're going for a smart phone in verizon: iPhone 4s, an HTC, or wait for the Samsung Galaxy SIII

But let me ask all of you a questino about your phone.....


You know those Toyota commercials where they do all the ridiculous crap to show you how tough the truck is? I need a phone tough enough to take on challenges like that.

If I get Bondo on the phone, will it survive? If my hands have a little oil on them and I use the phone, will it last? Do they have glass screens, or plastic? How well can they handle being dropped on asphault? Can it handle the rigors of someone who maintains 3 cars of his own and all his buddies cars when they have problems?

Hi `Tyler, I was just joking & know I don't have to go back to college to learn how to use a phone (LOL), but I should
I have used BeachBum `Mike's Cell phone, but thank you for your advise 4-Sure...Oh, I do plan on going to a store & checking all the new phones **if I can find the time), but I will have to do some research first so I know what they are talking about
===========================================
WoW `Duane, you want a phone that will survive in a War Zone Below is what I found on the Web...I hope it helps ? Good Luck on getting a Tough One

My wife has an Otterbox on her iPhone4, pricey, but really good protection... They actually have some that are really heavy duty for use on construction sites and what not... Duane, sounds like you need a military grade phone... To answer your question about the screen, the bb and the iPhone are hi-quality glass, replacement glass for the iPhone can run $300 or more... I don't know about the other Smart phones mentioned, but I would suspect it's the same... Good luck...

PS - I agree, those Toyota commercials are bs...

I was quoting replacement cost plus labour and our beautiful inflated Canadian prices...
