I’m looking for a t-mobile cell phone that has the best reception and volume adjustments. Um…I also would like various of features on it.

Are there any phones I should look at and ones I shouldn’t?

I don’t know much about this so I need help. If my friend wants to cell me his T-Mobile cell phone, can it work with Cingular if I unlock it at some kind of phone repair shop?

Verizon wouldn’t work because they use CDMA, right? But what other companies’ phones can work with Cingular? And how much does it cost to unlock a phone?
