Actually, i need help understanding, also. Right now, the choices are overwhelming, so i’m looking for some advice.
I am not big on texting, but i think part of the reason for this is the crappy phones ive had in the past and their crappy keypads. So, what i’d like to have is something like (or something EXACTLY like) a blackberry. My provider doesnt really offer a decent blackberry or blackberry type phone, so i have a question regarding jailbreaking a phone.
I have found the exact phone i want on ebay for about $100, and it is jailbroken, which i assume means it is not tied to any carrier and i could use it on my network. Is this true? If i do buy it, can my carrier put an end to my using the phone if they somehow have a way to detect what kind of phone i have, or am i home free?
I did something really dumb about two months ago. I went ahead and bought an htc phone, which isnt bad… If you have the fingers of A FIVE YEAR OLD. I cant type messages for shit, i cant even see the damn apps i’m running, so as nice and light this phone is, it is virtually useless to me. I had to buy a phone quickly because my wife decided to wash mine. So, i ended up getting one of the last of the 3 G’s “on sale!” (yeah right… Jist checked, and it’s fifty bucks cheaper today. Bastards.
So the dumb thing was that since i was pressed for time, i bought a phone that i didnt check out.very well. Now that i have it, i find it very counter intuitive to use. I hate it.
So the questions i have are
-
can i return my current phone (i havent tampered with it at all), or is it going to be “i’m sorry, that phone is on clearance and we won’t take it back for you”’
-
if i buy a jailbroken phone, is it safe to assume that, if it was done properly, that i could use it with my current carrier with no penalties to me personally?
-
can anyone recommend a phone for a guy with big hands and fingers, who likes a raised keyboard like the blackberry, which is easy to type and surf the web with?
Thanks for your time and suggestions in advance.
