i'm looking for feedback from everyone in NYC here, so i'm expecting everyone to chime in.
this coming august my nextel contract is up and i want to switch my cell phone providers. i love everythign about nextel... the phones, the two-way walkie-talkie service is the best but i'm very dissatisfied with thier phone network coverage ever since the sprint merger. that being said, i am also losing the amount of people that i use the two-way with. it was great for me when i was on the ramp as a supervisor, i was able to keep tabs on people and they were able to get in touch with me when they needed me. now, i really don't need it anymore. aside from my brother and nick i don't use the feature regularly.
now, i hardly use my cell anyway. part of that was because i had a limited amount of minutes per month and i could use the phones at work to take care of business. so the time has come to change providers. i've been looking at cingular and t-mobile a lot, mainly because they offer blackberry service. i'm open to whever has the best deal and the service that best fits my needs. what i want is a data plan so that i can get to my email whenever i need it. email and AIM are the two ways for me to keep in touch with most people, especially those from college. now, i do text also, but not nearly as much as i email. i don't like using the regular phone keyboard to type something out, hence the desire for a blackberry. i'm not about having what everyone else has ad doing as everyone else does, i do my own thing and that works for me... also, i want to be able to have my own ringtones, preferably mp3s. and bottom line, the phone has to look good!
what i'm looking to find out from you all is the quality of service of both t-mobile and cingular. the TV hype aside, are they really as good as they say they are? how is the service out on long island, or up in CT? i know that both sprint and verizon have great service at LGA, what about JFK?
