New Cell Phone Assistance?, If you're willing... Options

[cupcake]

I'm in the market for a new phone as mine is not up to par (dropping calls, and not receiving "missed calls"...though I get a voicemail).

I am currently using Sprint, but that could change I suppose.

I am not a texter...you text me, I call you back. I don't need to "work" from my phone so email and all that doesn't matter. I could care less about ring tones as I'm on vibrate only. browsing the web I could also care less about.

What does matter is medium size (not huge or PDA-ish), durability (my shit gets beat the hell up and often dropped), perhaps a music dealio so I could ditch the nano (I hate too many gadgets and wires)...but besides stable calls, a good camera is a must! I mean a good one that I can shoot, ship, and someone get and know wtf they're looking at in a nice resolution.

I'm not real hip on the latest hooyahs, so I was throwing this out there since 100% of you guys are more initiated in this stuff than I. Thanks.

i have the samsung sgh d807 (i think cathryn might also have it?). it's a great phone.

1.3 megapixel camera, music player and mini-sd slot so you can have several gigs of music/files


edit: feels kinda light, though; i used to have a razr (best phone i ever had), and the razr had a metal case, so this might just be a "normal" weight. this also has a large screen that scratches easily, but i bought 1 pack of screen protectors which will probably last for several years.

the picture quality is much more like what I'm talkin about.

looks like I'd have to move to cingular for that.

I've been wanting to get that one in white for my mom. I've got the Samsung Blackjack. it's nice...I made a salad.

my girlfriend has that samsung, it's pretty nice, i have to admit.


for sprint, what you want seems to be one of the following:

there's the online-only-fairly-basic Muziq

And then there's the Upstage

I like the upstage's feel more than anything else about it, the whole dual-sidy mp3 player thing isn't really my thing, but i'm sure it would be nifty to fiddle with if you're bored. It feels really solid though, I like that.


Can't really give you a lot of advice on a phone that's just made for....phoning.

not my bag o worms.
