    You should get a phone that will send you a text message when posters create a duplicate thread on s2.

    Yeah, I'm going for the CLIQ. The TP2 was a bit costly, anyway.

    Iphone gets my vote, best $100 I ever spent ($200 for the 3gs) thats with a 2 year plan though. Thing to consider about a 2 year deal is that if you leave early its only $150 fee and you keep your iphone, which is currently going for $200+ on craigslist. Also if your in and out of the country a lot for long times then most carriers have stand by plans that will cost you next to nothing.

    Never been a fan of the iPhone, not sure why. I know everyone else likes it. I thought I'd check out the Android OS. I'm pretty sure I'll like the CLIQ.

    Although far from hot garbage, after having one for just about a year, I find it to be quite over-rated. It does some things great: The keyboard is fantastic, and better than any touchscreen I've ever used. The iPod integration is stellar. However, the best part about the iPhone IMO is the abundance and variety of apps. There are some truly great ones out there.

    However, those don't overcome it's shortcomings.

    The lack of multitasking drives me bonkers but I could cope with it if were to increase stability/battery life. Perhaps it does, but either way, the battery life blows. There are some days I have to charge it twice, and that's just with normal use (a fair amount of texting and emailing-- and only maybe one or two quick calls). The complete disregard of user customization is what kills it for me. No wallpaper when in use? No custom text or email tones? Seriously? I know I can (and have before) jailbreak it to fix a lot of these, but I shouldn't have to do that, especially at the expense of performance, stability and even worse battery life.

    It does what I believe it intended to do very well, and that's put smartphones in the hands of people who have never used them before. However, for someone like me who has used smartphones in the past, it lacks a lot of simple features (multiple profiles for various situations-- silent, vibrate, normal, loud, etc.) that shouldn't have been ignored.

    $175 actually, but it drops $5 every month of your contract. So when I ETF next month, I'll only have to pay $120 instead of the entire amount.

    Yep we can unlock a locked phone to get the network freedom. We can unlock the phones using unlock codes. The Unlock codes are unique code generated based on the IMEI of the phone. We can get the unlock code from our service providers or from unlocking sites such as TheUnlockArena.com . After receiving the code we have to follow the provided instructions to get the phone unlocked.
