ATT phones

so my blackjack is taking a shit on me. Ive had it for a little over a year and my reception has just gone doooowwwn the drain, sometimes my phone wont recieve calls or make them or anything.
So Ive decided to get a new phone, since my plan is not up yet I need to go with another ATT phone. what is a decently priced (<$150) phone that i can put my microSD card into

Blackberry Curve accepts Micro SD. Are you planning on changing service providers? Usually with ATT (at least with me, they give me the new contract price every year). Go to a corporate store and talk with them, you could probably get a discounted price

BB FTW! Wait for the Bold though!


I had those issues with my blackjack the first month I had it. Worst phone I ever used.

Yep, the bold should be nice. I have the 8820 and I'm addicted to it.

I might as well ask this, is there away to transfer my address book to sims all at once? I know I can do it in OS 4.5, but I have 4.2... Suggestions? Thank you.

the only phone they said i couldnt insure was the iphone. when i bought my blackjack they said i couldnt insure that then my dad called att and asked the people over the phone and they said yes you can..

sometimes they tell you no and sometimes they tell you yes for insurance i guess

I was going to tell you just to check online. BB and CC = ripoff in 99% of the time.

go with the blackberry curve. I have the pearl and I love it. All my friends have the curve and its a good phone. You'll love it. The pearl takes a little bit of time to get used to (ie. typing on it) because of the suretype keyboard. If you're used to a QWERTY keyboard, then the curve will be rather easy

Good luck getting a curve for < $150. With a new contract, maybe.
I personally have a E71i, but that's above your budget too.

What do you want/not want in a phone?

I hate my curve... the battery life sucks, the buttons don't work anymore... and I baby the thing.

The thing that pisses me off the most about the curve is that you cannot get insurance for it. ATT told me to put it on my homeowner's insurance...

They lied to you. AT&T most defiantly offers insurance on the curve. I have it as well as my brothers and a few other people I know. Only thing is deductible is $125. The company they use is called Asurion.


I would contact customer service and add that to your plan.

Argh, that's irritating to now find out. haha

Does it cover replacement of the phone? Considering my standby button only works when it wants to work.

Asurion is also with T-mobile too. Its pissing me off that i have the Tmobile MDA for 3 years and i still don't get a lowered deductible.

Yes, It only covers replacement of the phone. As far as repairs on the phone, I'm not sure how AT&T actually does it, since I have a friend who works there and will repair it for free. So if they actually charge for this I'm not aware.
