Intro Consider Prepaid Keep On Talking Feature Focus Comments  6  

Showoffs Texters Shutterbugs Emailers  

IM / email / text addicts:

Some people are always on the phone, but you can't ever remember them talking into it. These people are probably using it to send text messages or log into an instant messaging client or even send email. Like showoffs, voice calls are far less important than other features to these people, but in their case what's important is written communication. This year most carriers offer a regular phone with a full QWERTY thumbboard. They come pre-loaded with IM clients, are excellent for sending text messages and can access most email accounts.

Cingular:  LG F9200
Sprint:  Sanyo MM8300 *
T-Mobile:  Sidekick II
Verizon:  LG VX9800
* Sprint does not offer any regular phones with QWERTY keyboards, nor do they pre-load IM clients on to their phones. IM clients are, however, available for download.
