Yes, another phone thread
Yes, yes, another one of these.
I'm looking for a cell phone that's pretty much top of the line. I prefer ones without moving parts, I've always leaned towards Nokia.
The only neccesary extras (oooh, oxymoron) for me is a camera, recorder, and the capabality to play mp3s.
I'm also looking for a good price, as always. Recommendations? I heard that the company that begins with an S came out with a nice one. Siemens is it?
I'm on Cingular, so I believe thats GMS.

I wouldn't trust a phone off ebay, to be honest. I wish newegg sold things like this.

I wouldnt recommend anyone a Siemens or Samsung phone. You're probably (and hopefully) talking about Sony Ericsson.
You havent quite described what quality of a camera you're looking for. How much you intend to spend, what type of network you're on (GSM or CDMA), If you want a 3G phone (say yes, please oh please say yes), and if you want expandable memory for that music player or not. And umm, one last thing, do you intend to install extra softwares and stuff for your phone?
I love these phone threads

In quality, I'm pretty sure I mentioned top of the line. And yes, I ment the sony ericsson.
3G? I'm not quite sure what you mean.
Expandable memory isn't really neccesary for me, I just need enough to store my contacts, etc. Adding software in was never a preference of mine, so thats a no.

Cingular = RAZR = my fave phone ever.
Mine is silver, but black is nice too.

3G...as in...video calling...here in NZ its the same price for video calling as it is for voice calling...dont know why anyone wouldnt want it really.
If you want music, and no expandable memory, how...the hell do you intend to do that? :\
Oh and, the RAZR sucks donkey bum.

If Cingular IS GSM (although if S710's on it, then its on a different GSM freq), then I'd say get an unlocked phone.
I hate these phone threads when I dont even know if the carrier you're on is GSM or not...and what sorta GSM...god this sucks...why cant it just be like it is here? ONE carrier for GSM - thats all!?
So yeah, someone confirm me he's on GSM...the same type Vodafone's on...
PS: S710's old, there's better stuff out there now

So, I just went back and re-read this original post -- so, I'll recant my Razr recommendation, as it does NOT comply with your request. Based upon your *necessary* extras...there are two "phones" which will satisfy.
Based upon the Cingular + mp3 + video capability rule...
Sony Ericsson S710
*or*
Audiovox SMT5600
I'd get the Sony.

hey zap... dude. not everybody has either access to unlocked phones, a company that's spoon-feeding them phones, or the money to get an unlocked phone for the newest/latest/greatest phone. It's cheaper in the US - again, GSM networks here are 850 and 1900 - to buy your phone via their selection due to how they price them. An unlocked S710a is about 400 bucks still in the US.
Buy one via Cingular... it's less than 150 in some cases (rebates and retention fees can drop it even more). that's 250 bucks that can be used one something else... like the phone bill.
The Razor is all about one thing... it's thin. It's a stylish looking phone - in photographs - and I won't lie... I like the black version. But I ain't running to get it.

Anyway... my phone doesn't suck, it phones people and can text people...

Yep, looks like everyone says sony. Now how much will this bad boy put me back?
It actually costs less than my last cellphone purchase, apparently. And better too.

If I order it from, I get a 100 dollar rebate. So instead of 300, it's 200.
Cingular offers this deal too, but force you to get a plan with it.
I've already got an existing plan, so I'll just order it from Sony. Or is it smarter to pick it up from a store?
