I'm Smartphone'd AGAIN!

Brief History:
SPV/TMobile
Great Phone...Bad Reception in my home
Sold

PocketPC ---> Samsung i700/Verizon
Big Phone...Great Reception
Sold

SPV/TMobile
Missed Smartphone...Still bad reception
Sold

Mitac Mio 8380/T-Mobile
Better Phone....Still bad reception
Sold

PocketPC ---> i700/Verizon
Needed better reception
Sold

Samsung i600/Verizon
Same great reception...I liked my SPV better
Sold

Today:
Okay....now I bought an Orange e200 that I am 90% sure can be unlocked thanks to Orange and the current owner. I got a pretty good deal on the phone and Its on it's way.

So I needed GSM service again but didnt want to go back to TMobile. So I tried AT&T and guess what....PERFECT RECEPTION IN MY HOME!!! HURRAY!

MPx200s were on sale on Amazon for $69.00 and the AT&T rep gave me the same deal at the store! I couldnt pass up the deal. (As a side not....I LOVE THIS PHONE!)

When the e200 arrives later this week, I'll compare the two. If I like the e200 better(and am successful in getting it unlocked) I'll sell the MPx200 for what will probably be a profit.

If I like the MPx200 better, I'll hopefully sell the e200 again.

But in the meantime, I'm back in business!

If you got the MPx200 for $69, how much did you
pay for the SPV E200? :wink:

I'm in the market for an e200 for development purposes. Ping me if you're going to keep the MPx200.

Welcome back :D Glad to hear I'm not the only that goes through devices like that. In the past month I've bought 4 different Pocket PC's.

Congrats!!! Nice selection of devices. I had noticed that you kept putting phones up for sale in the Buy/Sell. I was beginning to wonder what the deal was. :wink:

I'm really interested in the e200. It seems to offer everything I'm looking for in a phone, except price. :wink:

I tire easily...and I always want the next best thing. It's a curse.
But I cant afford too many phones at once, so I usually sell the old and buy the new, not always in that order.

The longer you hold onto something, the more value it loses. So turn around time has been pretty quick. But I would like to hold onto something for awhile that works really well. But then again.....
