Phones and stuff

leticiaI am /considering/ getting a cellphone. Of my own. What it will cost me and
what features I can get for what it will cost me will make that decision for
me.
And, because I'm lazy and all the phone companies want you to basically make a
commitment before they'll tell you what all you can get, I'm going to ask LJ!
Yay harnessing the power of other people's effort.
I care a lot less about talk minutes, actually, than I do data
transfer/messaging. I'd /like/ to be able to use a web enabled phone with
Opera Mini and AIM Mobile, pretty much freely.
So does any of the companies have an unlimited messaging plan? I've seen
unlimited data transfer plans, but most of them don't seem to include
messaging, and at 10 cents per, which seems to be industry standard if you
haven't got a Special Plan, I could eat a lot of money in a hurry. ^^
(Also, are there any of the companies you'd recommend absolutely staying away
from, they're baby-killing bad?)

But even their cheapest phone isn't bad; slightly iffy voice quality, but that's about all. So if you wind up, say, needing a phone ASAP but not being able to find the style you really want, a cheap TracFone and basic minutes plan is worth it. [grins])
