Thanks Helpmewin, I've just talked to my daughter about that.  Even if I pay the difference between what she is paying now and what the family plan costs (plus the extra 10 bucks a month) it would still probably be cheaper than getting the service for myself. 

As far as phones, the early results looks like the ones to look into further are the Motorola V710 and the lg vx 6100 (thanks to Motley and Angel for these recommendations and to everyone else that is helping me narrow the choices down :) )




I mentioned the other day that I had gotten a phone but neglected to mention that I ended up with the lg vx 6100.  The Motorola V710 was my first choice but they said that it had been replaced with a newer model so I went with the 6100.  The screen is a little smaller than I'd like but not too bad and it is easy to play the games.  I've had it about a week now and I just wanted to say thanks for all the comments and suggestions.  Y'all helped me pick a winner.  :)

...and the response to my latest :)

Dear Mr. Bill,

Its great to see you have emailed us back.

I appreciate your interest in downloading the games.  In the near future we may offering the new games.  I assure you soon this pogo games will be available on the Web site and you will be notified with the higher priority notification.

It has been a pleasure assisting you.  Have a nice day.

Just wanted to post the response I got from Sprint/Nextel:

"Thank you for contacting Sprint together with Nextel about downloading Pogo games.

For downloading games, a phone should be Vision capable.  Your current PCS Phone is not Vision capable.  Therefore, it is not compartible to download games.

Further, we do not offer the Pogo games at this point of time.  We keep adding new games from time to time.  In the near future, we may start offering these games.

Looking forward to serve you.  Have a nice day."

If you're waiting for Sprint "together with Nextel" it looks like you may be in for quite a wait.  I'll be shopping V this week :)

Ok, I'm about ready to throw away good money on another phone.  I know there is a list of phones that "work" but I also recall that Barbara's phone was on that list and it wasn't able to get all of the games.

My questions for those that have already crossed over to the mobile side are:
1.  What kind of phone do you have? - Motorola V710
2.  Does it get all of the games offered by Pogo Mobile? - Yes
3.  Is the screen easy to see?  (I have old eyes that weren't that great when they were young :)) - Yes, very easy
4.  Is it easy to control the game with your phone? (I have less than nimble fingers that seem to have gotten fatter lately :)) - Playing the games was easy and no problems with controlling it. Fingers do go numb after playing Tri-Peaks for 4 hours (like I did today)5.  Are you happy with your phone's performance in playing pogo mobile? - Yes. No freezing, still gets calls, phone works great. Nothing Pogo-Mobile related to complain about!
Thanks a lot.  I appreciate anyone that cares to contribute to this topic (and even if you don't ;D)

Just wanted to post an update.  I just did a search of the internet and found that both Verison and Sprint had announced that they would be offering pogo games (this was back in July).  I just sent Sprint an email asking the status of this effort.  Not that I expect a favorable response, but if you have Sprint, you may want to ping them as well  :)

Ah, but that's the point.  You can run your auto on your computer while you are earning badges the old fashioned way on the phone :)

My daughter has a two year contract with V so I may see how much it costs to just add the new phone to her account.  Keeping the use to weekends and after 9, I shouldn't be adding too much to the cost (except for the games themselves).

By the way, to all who have replied so far, Thanks so much!  I'll probably give it a week while I mull over the possibilities, but I'll be sure to post when I get the phone and let you know how it works out ;D

I have the Family Plan through "V".....the first phone I added on was only an extra $9.99 per month, then I added another and that also was only 9.99 per month.  I just have to convince the other half that I "need" those mobile games!  he he  :-X

Also, when I upgraded to this phone, I got a $50 rebate.....so to me, it was well worth the bucks.

I have the same phone , it has all the games on it, but I have not yet "bitten the bullet" and gotten any of them ........I need to get all my other badges first before I get those games.....and since they keep bringing out new games, I don't see that happening any time soon.  ::)     :'(

I have 2 models from Verizon and both have all 3 of the games.  One is the Samsung a650, that one is good if you have good eyes and tiny fingers.  The other model I have is the Motorola V710, the screen and the keypad are a little bigger.  That is the phone I prefer.  Good luck.
