    There are many important aspects to my selection of a cell phone, however, the most important aspect is that I have to be able to pay for it. So with that in mind for me cost is my first concern.

    It's really difficult to choose one. I definitely prefer to have a phone that others don't have because it gets kind of old if you see too many of your phone everywhere, but that's just my preference. I definitely expect a phone to get decent coverage/reception, otherwise, what's the point? In this economy, the cost of plans is relatively important. The plans definitely need to be affordable. The only reason why I might even consider wanting the same service as my friends would be if it became too costly for my friends and/or me for extra charges that might be incurred.

    I'm not as concerned as what the phone looks like as I am the cost and quality of service. I don't need all the bells and whistles.

    For me it was a toss up between cost and good coverage. I really want both for sure! But cost would probably come first by a hair and then coverage. I travel quite a bit for work and rely on my blackberry on a daily basis.

    To me I like mobile to mobile it is better and it cost less than have to buy so much mins. Yes it is true about the reception is great to have but what is good reception with out mobile to mobile, they both work well together!
