Nokia 6010. It's pretty basic, but, one - it was free (well, automatic rebate for full cost), and two - it works.

Scott,
Is that the Treo 650?

I have a Nokia 6820. It looks and works like a regular non-flip cell phone. But it does flip open to reveal a querty keyboard.

I bought it for the bluetooth feature that establishes a wireless link to my car. If I get a call while in the car a quick press of a button on the steering wheel and the phone is answered and I can just talk and listen.

What megapixel is the camera Scott? And finally, how much do they run? I will be getting a new phone in June so....

Sweet. That is the only Palm OS phone that my carrier supports and I think that it will be my next technological purchase!

I'm sold on Sanyo too. I have the VI-2300. Basic, but gets the job done. Sanyo's for years have been the toughest phones around. The 4900 model I had survived being dropped in a pond!

I believe it is 1.8 mp. The Treo has the 700 out now; it comes w/ Pocket PC which is windows based. I hate PPC! I had it w/ my Ipaq 5555. It is unstable and crashes a lot. The 650 & Palm os is excellent; the interface w/ the desktop sync is streamlined, simple and quick. Go for the 650!

Excellent choice; organizer and phone all in one!

Yeah, I broke my Palm Tungsten T and my old Nokia is is desperate need of upgrading, so I thought I would go with the all in one. It'll add an MP3 player to my pocket too!

Scott...you thief! There's my phone. You have it!

Seriously...Treo 650.

Motorola V400. A buddy from another forum sent it to me for free. He had already worn in a nice "pocket patina," as he put it, but it works great.

Sanyo, as far as signal strength and durability is the best phone Sprint has going for them. I sold Sprint for years and always sold/owned Sanyo.

The 4000 series (4500, 4700, 4900, 4950) is an excellent series.

I sold them as well, and that's what "sold" me on Sanyo, which also typically have the strongest batteries i.e. talk time in addition to durability and signal strength. BTW there was an original Sanyo 4000 in that series, a black phone a little shorter than the 4500.

Samsung was good early on but quality started slipping around 2001-2002. Not sure if it's better now or not.

I'm wondering now whether I should have gotten a Treo or something similar instead of my flip, but I decided against it since it would probably just be something else to waste time fooling with.
