Ok, well it is inevitable. I will be getting a cell phone.

I need recommendations, and especially from people who have used their phones at my house. What companies do you recommend and what are the pros and cons of each. I may decided to use my phone mainly as an away from PC AIM service which would make Sprint the smart choice, but they have shit phones and none with a full keypad. I also need to be able to check emails on it. Which again points at sprint. But due to pricing I may just go with Cingular as I would get 300 more min a month for the same price.

Help me out I have never purchased a cellphone before, and don’t like them. So I am not sure on all the details to look for. T-Mobile would be nice if they did not have a shitty coverage area and Sprint has a horrid choice of usable phones.
