Nokia 3300 Phone - Next Generation (AT&T)

Summary: Would Be Great if AT&T Admitted Their Customer Service SUCKS
Review: When I first purchased the phone, it was great! AT&T provided good service in my house (which is practically a dead zone) and it was perfect. Then I wanted to add M-Mode (an AT&T internet feature) and HELLO, tell me why I was on the phone for 45 minutes waiting for a live operator (thank goodness 611 is free, otherwise it'd eat up my minutes!). My phone calls now keep getting dropped if someone tries to call me; it takes 3 phone calls to actually establish a secure phone call w/out being dropped. For shame to AT&T. If the rumours are true & AT&T does merge with Cingular, they'd better kick some a** or my a** is switching over to Verizon where they provide real service or Nextel (where you actually get a customer service rep. in less than 3 minutes -- sometimes less than 2 mins).
If it's for show & tell, yea then get the phone, but if it's for serious use, stick with what you have, it's probably better anyways. As for the speakerphone feature, the music plays great, but sometimes it's not loud enough even in your own car for you to hear (don't drive & keep cellphone to ear, you get tickets in NY state that way). The mp3 & FM radio features rock when you're taking the bus to school or something to pass time, keeps you from getting bored.
Conclusion: If this phone were offered by a real provider like Verizon, then it'd be worth having cos you'd get great service & a great phone to show off and use. The phone is very handy with its other features. Look for the NOKIA 6225 w/VGA Camera installed coming soon, probably the best phone that'll be out there for quite a while. Good luck...
