I actually have the precursor version of this phone the 5610 - which is a slider and it's pretty awesome. If you don't mind a 3.2mp cam + is actually a music phone so it's semi tailored that way. Has radio / mp3 playback. My only tiff with it is the 2.5mm jack (as opposed to 3.5mm). The 5800 looks awesome though - and it fixes that 2.5mm problem. I would totally get it except I actually like button keys as opposed to touch screen dialing. However that's not to say i'm not tempted.

Rubin Farr Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 How long is left on your AT&T contract? If you're dying to get a smart phone on another carrier like a Pre or Blackberry, you could reduce your mothly rate to the min plan they have which is $29.99 a mo. And just let it sit there, then sign up for whoever you want. This is what I did when I switched to Helio a couple of years ago, funny now I'm back at AT&T but oh well.

Ahh, I got until March 2010 - My monthly minute plan is already at the lowest (with an extra 5 bucks for text messaging). Really, I text WAY more than I talk, so I've got like 2 bazillion rollover minutes. The smartphone thing is what I'd call, for myself, a "luxury item." Not necessary, something I REALLY WANT but can't really afford. I guess I could just *gasp* wait until March and then sign up w/someone else - though, I'm not sure I wouldn't get gouged on prices with another carrier just as bad.
