Good reception phone

For the past few days I have been gathering up some information about Sprint plans and services. Well now that I have have picked the right plan, It's now time to pick a phone. I'm looking for one that has great reception, a flip, or a nice slider will do. I would also like for it to have a good camera too because I take allot of kiddie pics in the summer time.
Can you change the phones ESN number yourself online if you have multiple phones? Thanks in advance. :)

All Sprint phones with the megapixel cameras are "PowerVision" phones. What difference does that make, you ask? Those phones are all digital, with no analog roaming available. So pop your zipcode into the coverage checker to make sure that the phone you get works where you need it to. Not sure about ESN swapping on your own. I personally think its a foolish waste of time and money to own more than one functional phone at a time. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

I have 9 working cell phones on three carriers; one is for my father and two land line numbers. I have three phones still in the box inactivated, one brand new.

I paid less for 13 TracFones then people pay for one all in wonder phone. I am only going to keep three active, perhaps only two the better ones; one GSM at&t one CDMA Verizon. I am undecided about the T-Mobil, I may give that to my son; and then he can have two active phones on two carriers. I can transfer unites off the phones I don't want onto the ones I like.

I paid for three of the phones, the rest were free with air card purchases. It was a special promotion by TracFone for a few Way Insiders that made it well worth my wile to do this.

What may seem foolish on the surface may have a very good profitable reason behind it.:bulb:

Maybe so....I was referring to people such as my aquaintance, lets call him Jake. He has two lines active with Cingular for himself, on one line he alternates between a Treo and an 8525, the other he rotates out a black V3, a slvr, and an unlocked V3x. When you put it that way, I have several phones in my name as well. I use Sprint with 3000 min and then some, my girlfriend has the Nextel with 3000 min, my sis with Cingy has 2000 min plus 3000texts, and my dad has the no frills t-mob plan with 400 min. All for around 105 a month after taxes. Very few people have a good reason to carry more than one active phone on them, anyone that does it just for fun is a tool.

Sounds like you have such plans based on employment status, what would you do if you didn't have access to such plans? With whom would you stay?

I kept a couple plans after leaving. If I left the industry, I would go through my digital rolodex and call in few favors..... If all else fails (which I doubt) i would, and I can't stress "if" enough, then I would get sero plans through Sprint.
