What phone do you have and what carrier

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 4:22 am

iPhone 3GS (got it for $99 when the iPhone 4 came out) on AT&T. Everyone complains about how they get no signal, but in my area, Verizon has gone down for entire days. Two or three times last year. I get signal fine. There are two spots where I don't. One is this like 50 foot stretch of road from work to home. It'll literally drop every time at the same exact spot, and I can call back right away and be fine. Then I don't get signal at my dad's house because we live right on the water (tower doesn't quite reach that well) and he lives in a trailer, so it's "nothing in, nothing out".

So, I've changed phones. I got sick of my Ally. I just went and picked up the Nexus on Verizon.

So far, I'm really enjoying it.

I just found our old Post Office rotary dial-a-matic phone in the garage. I really need to figure out how to get it working on a modern phone network, though even after decades, just the memory of its "loud enough to wake the dead" ringer scares the life out of me...

I had an Ally too - ended up absolutely hating it. It was okay at first, but the longer I used it the slower it got, until it just crawled. And it kept running out of memory, even though I moved every app I could onto the SD card, and I didn't have a huge number of apps anyway.

I've had my Nexus for about three months now - it is very, very nice.

That ringer needed a 90-volt, 20 Hz AC source, which no phone network supplies any more.

Motorola Rokr with US Cellular. It was my first phone, I've had the phone ever since it came out, and it has worked flawlessly. In no way does it look new, but my friends have gone through so many phones and I've only had this one and one other. I actually went back to it when I got another phone because the amazing touch screen phone was a piece of crap.

It even took a dive in a river with me when I fell in, and still works perfectly fine.

Hopefully I can find someone who makes an adaptor for idiots like me... I think I'll avoid trying to do it myself!

I had my Ally for two years. Stupid phone was out of memory within a month. After the year warranty was up I rooted it, deleted all of Verizon's bloat ware and still had issues with it. Yesterday while I was at tge Verizon stire getting the Nexus the sales woman asked if there anything I liked about the Ally I laughed and said, "I'd love to break it."

iPhone 4 with Telus. It's pretty good, but I wish that I had waited and got a Galaxy SII.
