To SIM card or not to SIM card?

(edit: since I seem to get a lot of search hits for “verizon sim card” I feel need to put this out there:  verizon does not use sim cards) 

To SIM or not to SIM…it’s an odd issue.

Verizon, to my understanding, has a better network hands down.  However, they do tend to cripple the bluetooth on their phones, unless you want to hack them.  If you live in rural areas, go Verizion.

I’m a little partial to my SIM cards though.  I like being able to throw my card into a new phone and just go to town.  Such as, if I want to have a bigger smart phone I can throw my SIM card into my RAZR when I want to go out to the bars and need a smaller phone.

T-mobile has the cheapest internet prices, which is why I’m interested in switching to them.  Cingular seems to be a good general company, plus they’re getting all of the itunes phones.

The great thing about Cingular, I don’t know about t-mobile, is that if your phone breaks, you can just go in and sign up for another 2 year contract (starting that day, not at the end of your old one) and get the hard core discount on the phone.  Still, though, if I were to get a smartphone I think I’d spring for the extra $200 and get an unlocked one.

I wouldn’t say that there is any perfect company, but everyone has diff needs.

Motorola RAZR V3i

I have a Cingular RAZR V3, a year old in a few weeks, and love it to death.  Pretty much exactly the phone I need, pretty much… Well, either way, I love it.  I'm not the biggest fan of the little Moto OS, but it makes sense and easy to break into.  (The 'copy' function to send files via bluetooth is a bit odd, but usable)  However, working in a store with a Verizon kiosk I got the chance to play with their V3c and honestly wanted to throw it across the room because of ther verizon os. It also lacks the little center button on the top row selection buttons. Something I don't often use on mine, but something I find very important when I'm in certain menus. Searching around da'net it looks like the V3i will have ye old Moto OS and that nice little middle button. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they have the camera/movie button the V3c has, but it still can shoot them.

I really doubt my next phone will be another RAZR, but that doesn't mean I don't like them.  Let me also add that I'm not a power user, I'm not looking for media playback or EDGE or the like.  I'm just a general user making calls, taking pictures, and dropping it all the time.
