Motorola ROKR Z6 - best looking phone ever. I'm not sure if it works good but its looks are ahead of anything in the business, except iPhone.

[Mikey Ramone]

isnt rokr for at&t?
i have verizon plan

[Ilya R.]

I don't think so, Motorola sells universal phones. If you're not sure, get an unlocked one from eBay.

[Mikey Ramone]

well it says its for GSM network
hence t-mobile, at&t or any phone that uses the sim card...
and i actually like motorola phones

[Ilya R.]

Yea Motorola makes the best phones. I remember when the RAZR was really popular, and I thought it was the best phone ever. Now it's ugly compared to what Motorola's released now.

i reallyt dont like how verizon uses GSM network..but its for better service i guess...

[Ilya R.]

I know, EDGE is better, but still extremely slow. 3G are the best networks. Switch to AT&T and get an unlocked iPhone, so you can use regular AT&T plans with an iPhone, no need to buy the added data plan. iPhone prices are expected to drop again soon.

iPhones do use EDGE though, meaning internet is slow. I don't know if you can choose between EDGE and WiFi when browsing online, but if you can, buy the iPhone now cause it's awesome.

i want iphoen
and i meant to say that verizon doesnt uses GSM network..i cant type.

CDMA will be phased out soon enough; Qualcomm chipsets will have support for both technologies to allow for legacy support while Verizon (the largest in the CDMA marketshare) switches over to GSM/HSDPA technologies (which their partner in Europe, Vodafone, uses). GSM is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of CDMA in terms of data networks.

The iPhone won't work on Verizon. The LG Voyager is supposed to be the iPhone equivalent for those stuck with Verizon.

Yes you can use iPhone on Verizon. But once again, you need to jailbreak/unlock it. Check my PM i sent you yesterday.

[Mikey Ramone]

i agree with ZoSo.
and yea i meant to say verizon doesnt use gsm

No amount of unlocking will allow an iPhone to be used with Verizon. Verizon doesn't use SIM cards or run on GSM.

[Mikey Ramone]

so any phone recommendation for verizon??

Didn't know that about them. Even T-Mobile can be used with SIM cards.

[Mikey Ramone]

hehe.

[Ilya R.]

I've seen it before, it's average for a smartphone.

Well, that would be because ATT and T-Mobile are GSM networks. While Sprint and Verizon are CDMA.

[Ilya R.]

Well nice to know that. I always thought Verizon had some game.
