I am going to be getting new phone service soon. My contract with Verizon is going to expire, and I don't know if I'm going to renew with them or not. I'm looking for a new phone, and probably a new contract/provider so I can get a discount on a nice phone/PDA type thing. I am looking for a phone that
1) I can access the internet, not crappy text internet, but REAL internet. Chiefsplanet, ESPN, www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com, myspace, with pictures and everything.
2) I don't want to pay more than 60-70 bucks a month...which would include roughly 500 minutes, 200-400 text messages, and unlimited nights and weekends.
3) I want to be able to use instant messaging such as YAHOO and AIM.
4) I want to be able to take and store pictures of a rather high quality and having some video would be nice.
I went to T-Mobile today, and they had a plan for 39.99 (600 anytime minutes and nights and weekends). Which sounded decent to me. In addition to that, I looked at the sidekick 3. Supposedly for 20 dollars you can use the internet anytime you want unlimited and this includes text messages which I found to be hard to believe. The only downside is the phone is $300.
What kind of phones do some of you guys have with capabilities like this? Where should I start to look, I really don't know that much about cell phones really.
What are some other phones that can access internet for a rather cheap price? Blackberry, Sidekick 3..?
