best cell phones from AT&T

i currently have the blackberry bold and looking to give it to my brother so he can can stay in touch with his wife better. Now i need recommendations for a new cell phone i will def. be with ATT i looked at the iphone and its really nice but the lady told me i couldnt have insurance and that was a big let down for me, im a little hard and tend to break them pretty easy, so i always carry insurance. any recommendations for a new phone?

 

i have the rugby. It's indestructable

 

I will say iphone, I know u cannot buy insurance from AT&T, but you can purchasing the phone from Apple store and buy the insurance from APPLE. Am I right?

 

i know apple has something called apple care that extends the warrenty

 

i really like that new iphone i got to play with on saturday, what a phone man

 

Wrong. Apple offers Apple Care on all of their products except for the iPhones. The only company that offers it is Best Buy. It is not an insurance and is a performance service plan. If you like the iPhone, go to your nearest Best Buy.

 

have you ever dropped it or had any close calls? i call honestly say my blackberry is pretty durable for what it is, just wondering if the iphone is gonna be as good? or is there any good cases for outdoor workers

 

i think i will pass on the insurance from best buy its only $15 a month thats half the price of my plan

 

There are an outrageous number of cases for the iPhone...

I know I've dropped my 3G a couple times because I put it in my lap when I drive, and at least 3 times its fallen when I forget about it and get out... twice onto concrete, once when it was in the case... it still looks brand new, and works flawless...

Plus you can Jailbreak it and get any AppStore apps for free, and create custom themes and all sort of other cool stuff...

If you can't tell, my vote goes to an iPhone...

 

what the hell is jail break

 

It is not an insurance because it will not cover lost, theft and submersion under liquids.

It is not half the price of your plan. The cheapest bill you can end up with the iPhone is at LEAST $69.99 + tax.

$.50 a day beats the hell out of $600+tax up front.

I deal with this every day, there's no excuse not to get it.

That is basically being able to put whatever application software developers write for the phone and use it on any GSM network.

 

Normally you need to pay for the better Apps, anywhere from $.99-$25, when you jailbreak, they are available for free (not legally of course)...

It also allows you to get Apps apps that are not available through the AppStore like video, custom icons, themes, backgrounds, and many other things...

It basically allows you to customize your phone the way Apple should have allowed...



Also, Jailbreaking is not illegal, it is the DL of Illegal apps that Apple frowns upon...

 

I have the blackjack2. I had the blackjack1 before this. They are good phones. I have dropped mine countless times and it works fine. Its also pretty scratch resistant. One time I even got mad and threw my phone up on my roof(2 story) and it slid down and fell. Still works.

 

Yes, you can...

 

If you jailbreak, you can also use any network that is compatible with the sim card as well, right?

 

i just dropped my black berry after a month cause i couldnt stand it. picked up the new iphone. got an otter box and it looks pretty dang durable now. someone told me that your home owners insurance should cover damaged phones. i need to look into that.

 

that would be awesome

 

Essentially yes... it's just not called Jailbreaking... that's unlocking, and it can be done easily... both processes take about 5 minutes each...
