Mobile Phones and Cellular Services

Hello,

I am planning to by a mobile phone and subscribe to a cellular service.

What are some of the best mobile phones (makes and models) today? I hear Nokia is best.

Who offers the best, most reliable celluar service? Price is not a problem given that the service is best. AT&T?

Where is a good place to buy find these mobile phone(s) and service(s)?

I know someone who went with Verizon. I think the phone is also made by Verizon. Either the phone is bad or the service is bad because there is heavy static when talking from long distance such as out-of-state (say Las Vegas to Los Angeles).

The reason I am asking this questions is because of the bad experience described above.

Thanks,

Kuphryn

AT&T has THE best coverage around. LG and Nokia have THE best antennas. Nokias are THE most durable and reliable (I don't use toys like cameras and flip phones though)


PS: me my own self and most of my business owning friends have AT&T. I've tried Verizon, same spot, talking: shows full antenna, Verizon Digital area - drops in the middel of talking. AT&T same spot, shows: Roaming, medium antenna, talk as much as you wish, no drops. I'm traveling across country all the time, so I am speaking from my own experience, but then again, I might of had bad phone (paid 250 bux for it though, "best there was" at the time)

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...
