**D!ck** · 04-02-2006, 11:49 AM

i was thinkin about getting this. or a razor, but i am real tough on my phones so that throws that scant razor out. unless anybody knows different? i break phones all the time they are like keys, something you need but wish you didnt have to carry around. i especially hate phones cuz i have 2. the bastards never stop. anyways.

here is the phone. http://www.letstalk.com/product/product.htm?prId=29765 i like it for one reason, it has an fm tuner. so i can listen to the radio. what do you guys think? im looking for tough, camera, talk time on battery cuz if its dead im loosin money.

If you are that tough on phones you might want to consider this. . .

The phone you are thinking about looks pretty good! I have the RAZR. It's a bit tougher than people think. All Aluminum construction, not plastic, and holds up pretty well. Although I'm not nearly as tough on them as you say you are. . . .Good Luck!

Nextel's motorolas are some tough bastards. I have the i730. Great phone. Very durable. No camera on mine though.

Why would you want to switch from the BEST coverage to one of the worst??? If it's reception problems, it's not the carrier, it's the phone.....

i got the motorla V360 its a great phone i'm very happy with it

**BADBLUE02** · 04-02-2006, 05:29 PM

Nextel i530. I don'k know anybody that is harder on cell phones than me. It took me a while to get one of these to stop working

**Hi-Po** · 04-02-2006, 07:57 PM

yea, they are tough. i went threw 2, one broke cause i would party and play hacky sack with it(it lasted for ever) and the other i ran it over with my truck. I cant count how many phones ive been threw. 5 bucks a month will buy you insurance, get a new phone whenever for free. They dont ask any questions, just get you a new phone.

**BADBLUE02** · 04-03-2006, 01:46 PM

Hacky sack, I never thought of that!

Unless you lose or break your fone every month, fone insurance is for suckers. At five bucks a month you spend $120 on a 2-year contract. For a $1000 fone, that might be worth considering, but I don't know many that spend more than $100 on a cell fone. Plus, I think most carriers charge a deductible of about $50 when you use the insurance.

well im on my 8th phone i think..... i also get my friends phones(all nextel) and go trade them in for them. They pay me some money and the people at nextel dont ask any questions. SO, i am an exception for it. im gettin ready to go get a new 830i for the one i already have.. and sell that. Then i go to the other place and get a new 730i. i well,,,.......... Stick it to the man. haha nextel pays me i dont pay them.
