    saw a commercial for a cell phone the other day that was suppose to be super durable, could take a fall or hit without breaking

    i believe it was a nextel

    i use my cell phone for GPS while driving (yes i use GPS and yes i always check the map first) and its fallen from a few different places so it would be nice to have one that is suppose to be able to survive the impact

    I just bought a Palm Pre from Verizon which supports 3G and wifi. It is exactly what I have been looking for. I can set it up as a wifi hotspot to get wireless internet access on the computer.

    ATT works for me just fine. Many seem to believe what they are told in Ad campaigns and read on fan sites.

    The Nexus One was never avail for Verizon as it is a GSM phone, thus only avail for ATT and Tmobile.

    It was going to, but the phone sold so bad in the states Verizon and Sprint said no thanks. Google only sold 145,000 here.

    If you want an Android phone, which I think is the best because of everything that can be done on it. Get a Droid X, or the new Samsung phone for Sprint. Not the moment, they have another one coming soon that is awesome. I flashed my moment and turned it into a wifi hotspot and I love it.

    What about the HTC Incredible, how does that measure up against the X?

    Verizon now has the droid X, which puts the iphone to shame.
