Verizon will not take unlocked import phones, so youre stuck with whatever verizon makes available, unlike the GSM networks.

Not true. You can get Alltel phones on to Verizon. AMP'd mobile also uses verizon, and I think Helio does as well.

u can get the sony ericcson w810i.

if you buy unlocked version, u get 512mb of memory.

if u buy cingular USA's version u get watered down piece of crap.

If you don't mind a Cingular Branded W810i, goto Amazon.com
They have the phone for $20 with a 2 year contract.

i would have went to a chinese store and got a new plan and the phone for free, but i'm still on an ATT family plan from yeaaars ago. It can't be beat, I get like unlimited cingular2cingular, unlimited nights/weekends, and 400-600 daytime minutes. all for like 20 bucks a month or something like that. plus no charge on receiving text messages and 5 or 10 cents for sending one.

i used to have nokia, but i wanted something with a little more fun in it, so i got the unlocked w810i for 333 bucks. yeah...expensive, but i love this phone so far.

usually i'd recommend against getting SE phones, since they have a noteriety of being crappy, but we'll see what happens... if you want a good reliable phone, samsung and nokia are your good choices.
