Any recommendations for a good cell phone?

I'm in the market for a new cell phone and I want to get some feedback before making the purchase. I want one with a video cam with sound, picture phone, and mp3. Any advice would be welcome. thanks...Telephoneless in Toronto

Just look on telephone provider websites and check out their phones and see what meets your specifications or go to the store itself and ask about it. Asking about it here will only confuse you and only you know what you want.

I have the Samsung m500, it's all of those things. It has an expandable memory slot, which I like. Clamshell design, really small and light. I have this baby in black:




There's some newer models that are prolly better than mine in the same style out there now. Samsung fo life!

I have the Verizon Env. BADASS! I had a blackberry for oneday before i returned it. I hated it. I love the Env. Best part is that you can hack the damn thing to get things semi-free. Normally the Navigator is $10 a month, i got it for $10 for life!

i'm rockin this bad boy:



had it for probably 2.5 years now, little more if anything
dropped it off buildings, left it in my friends driveway for a week once (snowed once and rained 3 separate times, and got run over once while in a puddle there) and it still works fuckin fine

doesn't do any of that mp3 shit and the camera's useless, but who the fuck cares
it calls people, and it can send txt messages

i've always felt like i should get a new phone, and cause i'm doing it through verizon and i've had it >2 years i got 100 bucks towards a new one, but the way things are working i might wait till its been 4 years and get a $200 phone free

Sony Ericsson W610, W810, or K810

Then of course there's the Nokia N95, but I highly doubt you can afford that.

cant make any recommendations based on your post. its too vague. carrier is the most important and then budget. the rest can be easily sorted.

The Linux-run OS is great. Would be even more great if the phone had more RAM. No gripes with this phone.

Ignorance will not be good for you, in this case.

Can anyone recommend a phone that has a nice calendar and tasklist?

Hard to call. I'd say the most handy organizer-tasked phones have QWERTY keyboards. Then again, if it syncs with MS Outlook, the keyboard wouldn't really be needed.

Any of the HTC devices would do you good. Look into them.

Yeah. Mine's unlocked and running on T-Mobile. No gripes, seriously.

I currently have a pink version of Nokia 6111 and I've liked using it.
