New to GSM need advice

[ILLA]

Hi there,

Im new to GSM ...or am going to be new ...switching in a couple of days...

Im a little overwhelmed by the choice of GSM phones compared to CDMA...

So maybe you can help narrow down my choices....

Here is what im looking for besides obviously great reception and sound quality ...those are the most important factors...

1-quad band
2-pda type phone ...not for messaging more for agenda purposes...
3-touch screen (if possible)
4-qwerty keyboard and if possible and secondary number pad outside...
5-wi-fi

is this asking too much?

thx

thx guys

have any of you used any of these phones?

I heard the e61 doesnt have wi-fi ...or was that the e62?

You really should pick a carrier before you decide on a phone. You need to make sure you have service. If not, all you have is an expensive paperweight.

I have a carrier ready...

but I don't understand what you mean by if "i have service"..

thx

If you have a signal and can keep a connection.

What carrier are you going with?

That makes a difference then. Better make sure they will allow unlocked, non-FIDO branded phones on their network.
