All in all, i'm satisfied with Cingular's rollover mins and network coverage. They can't be outdone in that regard. Though as of late, i've been craving a nice flip phone, higher speed data, outer color screen, multimedia function (works well with mobitv) and a solid design.

So far, i've only found that to be with the Sanyo handsets on Sprint. Where I am is one mile from Sprint service, but i'm covered by Nextel (merger would affect me) in terms of coverage.

Is it worth me upgrading to a decent well rounded phone here at Cingular and keep my service, and skip on having a that solid featured flip phone? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
