WTB --- ATT Phone - No Smart Phones!

Post by kimokalihi »

I accidentally dropped my phone in the driveway and it got rained on and run over with the car. I've been using a Samsung Vibrant and it's the worst phone I've ever used. As if the design and functionality of the phone wasn't already complete garbage, the phone will decided it will no longer receive texts.

I need a new phone (want one rather) and I don't feel like forking over a few hundred bones for a new one and I also don't want to pay for the stupid data plan they force you to get with a smart phone. Anybody got a fully functioning good ATT phone they'll let go for cheap?

Really? I never liked Nokia. I actually read about how the E71 and E73 or whatever were able to be used with ATT without them knowing you have a smart phone and they don't force you to pay for the data plan.

my friends picked up good e71s for $100 or so id imagine it would be cheaper in your area. Steel construction great keyboard fast symbian is nice when you get used to it and you can install garmin for internet free voice navigation.

I have 2 Sony Ericsson T610 phones, they were some of the first phones in the USA to have cameras. 1 is beat up and some of the buttons dont really work. the other is in much better shape, all works fine.

Well guys I'm still contemplating getting a new plan one of these days with verizon. Until then I have my gf's old phone which is frustrating at times but it gets me by.

So for now I don't need a phone. Thanks though.

BTW if anyone else is looking for a non-smartphone for ATT I ended up buying an LG Vu Plus (GR700) on ebay and it's great. Nice build quality. Doesn't feel cheap like the samsung I had been using. It's got a decent screen a little smaller than my ipod touch screen. It's a huge improvement over the old LG Vu. I used to have that phone before the samsung and the touch screen was garbage on that one. This one is much better but not as good as the ipod touch and iphone. It's relatively cheap when compared with the new Androids and iPhone at $125-$200 depending on if you get it new or used. I got mine for $125 used and it's in like new condition.

It has a slide out keyboard that has a nice feel to it even though it's a bit loud compared to my samsung vibrant. But the keyboard works great whereas the samsung would either not register keys or type them 3 times in a row. The reception seems good and it's the perfect size and weight for a phone in my opinion.

So far I love it. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to avoid the smartphone data plan BS.
