Buy a different phone. The 807 broke waaaay too easily (as you can tell) and had poor reception. The N75 has bad battery life and the 500i was never sold in stores so I have no idea on that one.

Don't get a Sync... in fact steer clear of 3G until they get the dropped calls thing fixed. If you like the bar style the Sam 727 might be good but it's too new to really tell AND it's 3G... so, yeah. There aren't a lot of good choices out there sadly.

I'm using a Curve, and a CU500, but mostly the Curve.

i've thought about a curve. but they're uninsurablei don't want a sync. i really want to move a away from samsungs. the 727 is alright, but we have a demo model in our store and the battery last no time.

I never have a dropped call in my 3g area.

also what about that website? is it sketchy?

No, they are actually pretty good(1) (I think it was advertised on here) Probably still is. I think icyhot uses it and has no complaints. I just got a phone from puremobile.com cuz it had the phone I wanted even cheaper than wirelessimports.

(1) try emailing icyhot. he has used it.

the guy from wireless imports used to post on here, but I haven't seen him in a few years. I know others on phonescoop have purchased from him, so he should be okay to buy from. He's definitely not a new company.

s500i. A former co-worker had one and it is a sexy phone. And its sony so its double sweet. The only thing i didn't like about his was that it was unlocked but still branded to TIM which is an italian carrier so it had proprietary crap on it. So try and get one unbranded if you can. Also idk what price wirelessimports has but look at these 2 sites as well

www.plemix.com
www.atgsm.com

are you saying that there a possibility that you can buy a phone thats unlocked, but not unbranded? I'm talking about buying a phone from a website like the one mentioned above. Cuz I thought that they only sold unlocked AND unbranded phones. Not some unlocked italian phone.
I'm nervous cuz I just bought a phone yesterday and if I get a phone from some UK carrier Im going to be PO!!!!
