I have Cricket and I am thinking about getting a new phone. I was just curious what phone everyone has and their opinion about the phones they have available. Im leaning toward the TXTM8 or the Samsung Messager II. Also exploring possiblility of flashing a different phone but worried about not having insurance.

Any suggestions??

and Im not changing carriers.

TXTM8
that's the cricket phone that I got for my 12 year old son less than 3 mos. ago. After 2 months, his sound quit working... he has had to use vibrate all this month.

we went to the cricket service center, and they checked it out and said it needed replacing. They did not have any of that phone, they said it was very popular and they are always 'sold out'. Even though I am paying insurance, $5 monthly, I will still have to pay $45 for a replacement when they get one in.
