The problem with my old Nokia was (and I consider this one of the worst design flaws I've ever be hit with) that the belt clip attached with a metal grip - but that grip was clipped in to the PLASTIC back of the phone.  So the first time you put any stress on it (like getting out of a car with the

Actually the size of modern cell phones really annoys me... The Nextel phones tend to be on the large end in terms of size, and I could still stand for the Motorola i60c flip phone to be a tad larger. Not much, just about a centimeter or less would be about right. Anything smaller than what we hav

I'm guessing by your address you are in Columbus, OH correct? I think Cingular is up there. I had them when I was in Kentucky and could not complain. Prepaid may be the best if you only make local calls. That way you only pay, say $20, for 3 months useage instead of $20 every month. -Orig
