So I'm looking to upgrade my cell phone. Right now I have AT&T and have been with them for a while. I think they are a decent company and wouldn't mind staying with them. I've also had Verizon and they're not to bad either. I may be willing to switch providers if the deal is worth it.

My dilema? I want a well manufactured phone that is made for texting, has a good calendar, alarm clock, games (I don't play that many), and a camera.

Most phones have this....but, I keep looking at high end phones and keep trying to compare them to the I-Phone. I've had several sales folks try and sell me the I-Phone, and I really like it...except for the fact that you only get one free battery replacement (as long as it's within the first two years), otherwise batteries cost $90.00, and you can only get two years of insurance on it which requires that you send your phone away for repairs before they will replace it. So you are without the phone till they decide they can't fix it.

I would like to have the i-phone, but it would cost me $350 to purchase it with the hands free, case, charger, and screen protector.

Anyone that has phone knowledge, personal experience and opinions please help me decide.

Is the I-phone really the best bang for your buck or is it a bunch of hype? Is there a more well built phone that is less expensive that is comparable to the I-phone?

Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.

Thanks.
