<p>My old cellphone broke (cheap alcatel from like 2000 or something lol) and my parents have decided to buy me one since i've been begging for one since last month.</p>
<p>Yeah.. so i need help choosing a phone.</p>
<p>I'm quite liking motorola and samsung phones.
I don' want much from a phone : just a good quality camera and video recording and maybe mp3 player. I like those flip designed phones (clamshells?) and some of those slidey phones..(im still getting used to the slidey ones though)</p>
<p>Design is really important to me because i like my things pretty. These are some phones that I think look good:</p>
<p>I love the design of Nokia 7260 but I've heard that it's a waste of money because it doesn't really do much - all the qualities are 'average'
I don't really like the Nokia 7260's keypads but I like the big screen..</p>
<p>Can anyone suggest some phones for me? I prefer older phones in your country because they will be too expensive here or they won't even be in new zealand lol.</p>
<p>Razor looks good with bells and whistles, but it's difficult to get used to holding because it's so slim. Battery life is AWFUL and mine had a problem with "charging." The authorized repair person for Motorola where I live, says it's a common problem.
I have a 6620 now which is bulky, but I love it. Has internet capability, etc, large screen and excellent battery life.</p>
<p>Don't get the motorola v80....my friend has it and sure, it wows a lot of people who see it, but he barely even used it because it has TERRIBLE reception. Plus, it broke within a few months.</p>
<p>I'm very tempted to buy Motorola V80 but as you said dazedandconfused88, I heard that the green joystick broke off easily, the top part swung off,etc and I hate getting stuff sent away to get repaired. If i get it, hopefully the reception won't be a problem here..</p>
<p>adides, coqui, mom: which one is the motorola razor? </p>
<p>and samsung D800 and motorola V600 is already on my list so yeahh.. gotta narrow my list down to one phone..</p>
<p>primitive, i personally dont like sony eric phones because of the way the buttons look.. stupid reason i know lol</p>
<p>Nokia 6620 has good features but i'm not so sure about the design. i feel so shallow, picking phones due to their looks hehehe</p>
<p>What phones have a great VGA camera?
(and maybe mp3 capable too..?)</p>
<p>i have a sony ericcson z500a ... it has odd ringtones and odd standard pictures, but other than that, it's awesome and it works international and has a camera with video mode and all that good stuff... its nice.</p>
<p>Do any of you know anything about the TracPhone service? Does it work well? If so, would any of you be willing to help out a cell-phone luddite as you helped out NoFX?</p>
<p>Here are my choices:
Motorola C343
Motorola C155
Motorola V170
Nokia 2600
Nokia 1100
Motorola 120
Motorola v60
Nokia 1221
Nokia 2286
Nokia 5100</p>
<p>All I want is a reliable phone that will let me call home upon occasion. I don't need a camera, mP3 player, text messaging, or anything else except a vibrating alert for school, preferably. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>NoFX- I had assumed you were done with the thread, but if you want it back, my apologies for hijacking!</p>
<p>tracphone is terrible... terrible... terrible. if you are gonna get a prepaid phone, get one through cingular. i think they have really good deals (but i'm not too sure) and its waaaaay cheaper than tracphone.</p>
