Do you own a cell phone?

If so, what phone is it? What service provider do you use?

On a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), what would you rate your phone and service?

Edit: Do [b]you[/b] pay for your own phone? =D

Here is a page I've been looking at: http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/compare-mobile-phones/samsung-i5500-galaxy-5-htc-touch-pro2-12844_3404

I can grab an unlocked Galaxy for about $100 OR an unlocked Pro2 for around $150. Which should I buy and which carrier should I get? I like to text and go on the web more than making calls.

@srslyman - Phones never work in the owners home. Mine doesn't either, lol. I get perfect service at school, at work, at my old work, and 3 hours away at my Grandmother's place, but ZERO bars in my own house.

[quote=StixJP]I lost my phone in Hong Kong

I had a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 running on AT&T

Phone:9/10 Great phone, lags sometimes though
Service:7/10 I keep getting calls dropped but not much else to complain about.

I want to get the new Xperia Play so I can play PSP games too :o

@StixJP: Ick, that's no fair. I have about 15 games in my PSP collection. I wish they'd do a proof-of-purchase type of deal so that you only have to pay for a game one time. Let's hope it fairs better than the Nokia N-Gage.

[quote=Flare0080]That thing looks pretty sweet. Can I toss my UMDs into it or do I have to re-buy the games I already own?[/quote]

Probably rebuy them. If they add a UMD dock then the thing'll be too big . Though they'll probably sell the games cheaper than retail price.

EDIT:Yeah the phone's smaller than the PSP Go [url=http://www.wareground.com/images/400/sony_ericsson_xperia_play_preview_surfaces_specs_confirmed_8.jpg].[/url], so there won't be a UMD dock.

@Lasfdemon: Yeah, but the phones they offer are rather terrible (starting as low as $9.99). My phone was $40 to buy at Bestbuy and I pay $180 a year for my phone.

No wonder I've never heard of Rogers. It appears to be Canada only. Do they have plans for US?
