    well i guess its between tmobile & AT&T, i already have the iphone with tmobile, and i guess i dont wanna lose it, so its between those two. I dont really use my phone that much, so i guess whats cheaper? Anyone know any deals/discounts I could get?

    Tmobile is cheaper than ATT...

    Plus their customer service is super awesome

    If you go TMobile... do NOT get the Dash.

    I'd get T-Mobie if I was in Germany, but in the US, no way! AT&T all the way, best service, signal and phone selection. I love the new G3 Iphone and the Apps that you can get for free are amazing.

    Sprint Samsung Instinct. The phone was $230 with a $100 mail-in rebate. It kills the iPhone.

    I already have a fully unlocked hacked iphone, and it can do prou 1000x more then yours can.

    Anyone know any discounts I can get with tmobile?

    If you don't use it that much, go with TMobile-to-Go prepaid. No contract necessary.

    What's wrong with Dash?

    I know it's not a great phone. But since you can get it for free most of the time, it's not that bad. Get a 2200 mAh battery from ebay, install WM6 or WM6.1, get the 5.99 data plan, and you got yourself a decent smart phone. I like it better than the BlackBerrys.

    iPhone kills the instinct. Sales numbers don't lie. iPhone blows it away. My friend has an Instinct and hates it with a passion. And Sprint phone service sucks.

    My brother thought about trying the Instinct instead of getting the iPhone, but then we were like nah, Sprint sucks. With Sprint, I had a total of zero bars at my house.

    I got the 3G iPhone and I LOVE it...Can't believe I was going to get the Blackberry Bold instead...probably would have if they didn't push the launch date back

    The apps make the iPhone

    The instinct looks nice but so much is through iTunes and stuff so it was hard to get away from the 3G iPhone

    Do the other touch phones allow for app add-ons?

    well I'm on a family plan so all the minutes are shared, so it's just $30 for the data and $5 for 200 text...which isn't too bad, but the service is better than tmobile and sprint so it's not too bad

    Our family has been with Cingular ever since it was Houston Cellular and I don't think we're going to move away from ATT
