Is a CAMERA PHONE useful? oh and should i get a phone with a college area code???

<p>i have found my camera phone to be VERRY useful. i mean, you don't carry a digicam everywhere and the camera phone is perfect for those random kodak moments.</p>

<p>anybody have a Razor phone? is it any good?</p>

<p>Anybody have a Motorola Razor phone? Is it any good?</p>

<p>my friend does and i think it has worked for him. plus, it is SWEET looking.</p>

<p>my camera phone isnt buly at all and i have features like multi shot and night shot and wallpapers and stuff. and u dont need a cable to cennect ur phone u can just email the picture to urself and look at it on ur computer.</p>

<p>by the way my phone is a samsung</p>

<p>well i'm sure there are small good quality camera phones. but money is an issue for me.</p>

<p>i'm just going to get a regular filp phone with nothing much. i hope i can find one with that TRI-mode. but it seems pretty rare</p>

<p>I am looking for new phones for our Cingular family plan, and it seems to me that there are very few phones that are what I would consider "basic". I'm a person who probably wouldn't use fancy features anyway. Even the lower end phones seem to be pretty good compared to the huge brick I used to carry!</p>

<p>i have a Razr.. it is an awesome phone also you want to be soooo careful with it. it just feels too nice to mess up.</p>

<p>razrs break easily, not worth the money.</p>

<p>i have the new black razor thats a crazy phone.. it also takes videos you shuld get it</p>

<p>my camera phone wasnt expensive it was only $80 before the $30 mail in rebate.</p>

<p>i have the RAZR and it's really nice. i love that its so thin. it's like any other phone except a few more features (u can actually listen to the radio with it) and its incredibly thin. i have the silver one by the way. </p>

<p>i heard the new black one is only $69 at best buy. i got mine for $99 about a month ago. not as expensive as it used to be that's for sure. it was $499 less than 6 six months ago</p>

<p>DUH - go to - <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.verizonwireless.com&lt;/a> - check out the phones available for new customers - there are several tri-modes there - LG3300 (not a camera phone - good phone tho) - LG6100 - LG4xxx and some others as well. As a new customer you would be eligable for a good deal - or you can call any of the verizon stores in NC and get good info - on phones and service as well. You can get a phone - national service with no roaming, etc..... all in one package - but i would still recommend the insurance - just in case ............</p>

<p>Where T-mobile is complete digital - there are issues with them in the NC area.</p>

<p>My DD's new LG6100 cost us $49 - and has a $50 rebate - so it is essentially costing us nothing!!! - best thing to do is to check out the deals directly at the sites.</p>

<p>The SE K750i comes with a 2MP camera, and it has photo light (somewhat like a flash) and auto focus too.</p>

<p>JeepMom, wow.. where did you get your DD's 6100??
i checked website and it says 49.99 even after rebate(s).</p>

<p>let me know :)</p>

<p>p.s : btw, u seems to be leaned toward Verizon. would you tell me why?</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>You don't need a camera phone; the quality of the pictures is pretty bad...most digital cameras are so small now you can take them anywhere. </p>

<p>And get a flip phone bc the open ones tend to freeze up if you accidentally press all the buttons for a while...</p>

<p>I love my Razr :)</p>

<p>breaks easily? HAH....explain 17 falls (several of which were on concrete/asphalt from falling outta my car), exposure to LOTS of sand, and being stepped on :p....poor phone....it's been through hell, but it's still goin strong and is still SEXXAY :)</p>
