No, you do not have to port your existing number. This works much like a normal activation where you have a service agreement printed out and it will provide you a number for the SIM activated. Obviously the majority of people that want a home phone already have one so thats where all the talking of "keep you existing number" comes from.
Same here! I sell for T-Mobile as well and can honestly say I haven't sold 1 RAZR2 since its release... I simply cannot recommend someone buy that phone for $249.99 when there are other phones like you listed for the same price that are much better.
Exactly! I just went through the training for this and I think its complete BS. For years we've been drilled in the "why have a landline when you can pay the same amount, take it anywhere, and get more!?" mind frame and now I have to say "Well, I lied, since we now offer it, you should think about having both." Don't like it and won't.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
