phones

[erilyn]

I'm thinking of finally getting a real phone plan (I've only ever used prepaid) and a decent phone. I'm not looking at spending big amounts per month, so am checking out some of the cheaper caps.

Does anyone have network and/or plan recs (or anti-recs), or tips on things I should be on the lookout for? Ditto for phones, my current one is an el cheapo since I bought it upfront :)

Ah, well, as far as specific advice goes--I have the Motorola Q and while I like the features, the battery life is about 3 hours and change. Which is a huge problem for me.

As far as the stores go--I knew there would be a risk with my international friends that neither Sprint nor Cingular would be applicable in a particular country, and I was trying to wrack my brain for more international brands but couldn't up with any. But, y'know, US-centric brands notwithstanding, I think the advice still works ;)
