I'm going to get a new phone soon (AT&T) and I need recommendations.

Phone stuff changes so quickly and I haven't kept up. Here's my criteria:

- long battery life
- bluetooth
- camera phone with AT LEAST 1 megapixel

bonus: sync-able calendar to google calendar

I've really liked the LG phones I've had in the past because they seem to have the best interfaces. I don't care about price; but since I don't care about mp3 playing, video, etc then I don't think it's a big deal.

 

iphone?

new version will be $199.

 

ditto on the 3g iphone but be careful, price fore service goes up $10 for 3g... $69 per month.

 

And that's $69 not including text messaging on the iPhone.

 

iphone anyways.

 

sony w580i is a really good cheap phone, and the nokia 6500 also. neither has a great camera but 2mp is all you really need on a phone, imo.

theres a place by my work that has awesome deals on phones if you sign up for a new plan. its on lawrence and e. arques in a little shopping center. the place looks pretty crappy from the outside but heir deals are way better than anything else I've seen. cant recall the name but its next to the subway.

basically, you pay some fee for your phone depending on which one you choose, then you get a $100 rebate, plus att reduces your phone bill by $10 for the next 2 years ($240 rebate), and you get a $25 gift cert to the att store that you can use on a headset or something, maybe pay for a bill.

so basically, no matter what phone you pick you get back $365, I think that if you take the w580i, you pay $200 for the phone initially and end up getting back your $200 plus an extra $165 when all is said and done.

I havent signed up yet, but I intend to as soon as I grow the stones to change my #.
