hey! im looking for in the next couple of months for a new phone.

price range <500

I have cingular so i need the 850/1900 band.

i used to use a N7610b and i loved the symbian features i mean it was totally awesome being able to multitask + the phone was sexy. the only downside was how SLOW it was.

i switched to the Sony W810i about 6 months ago and i Love sony's menus, and the camera takes excellent pictures. and i totally use the "Flashlight" feature all the time.

I miss the symbian, so i was wanting something with symbian. But i love sony's menus and the Flashlight, but i mean i could do without. I also use the video feature on my w810i all the time too and the walkman feature. but the video is really crappy, so i NEED something with better video.

So heres my list of requirments

price - under 500
I am hoping for a Symbian phone as i dont like palm os or WinMo.
Something that has a decent camera and takes GOOD video (something better than my w810i) and (please dont say the N93, i dont like that.)
Must be a candybar because flips suck although sliders are neat and twists are cool too, but i like candybars better.
i dont really like keyboards, i would rather use T9, although the sony m600i keypad looks decent.
must have expandable memory so i can stick my videos and mp3s on it.
MUST HAVE GSM 850 for cingular


i really like the w950 and the m600 but they dont have my 2 requirements, 850 GSM and a camera.

are their any phones out that suit my needs or any phones that are expected to be released?

thanks! - brian

i love cingular. i always have service and i have an old media net plan that gives me unlimited internet and 1500 texts for $20 a month. and i used every bit of those texts and i use the internet to teather to my laptop every now and then.

also i think that wifi would be kinda neat, as everywhere i go is basically a hotspot.

my only downside is i dont like WinMo or Palm. my cuz has a treo and i think that it is ugly and i dont like plams os. and i used to have a winmo ipaq 225something running winmo 2k3 or 2k4, dont remember and i did not like it that much, maybe the newer winmo got better but i still love symbian over everything DEFF. symban is the best.

oh and also maybe stereo BT headphones but i dont really care about that, it might be a plus.

I'd say go with the Nokia N73, or N80. Both are around 500. Look them up on ebay Im sure you find something. If you'll want to look at the specs go to GSMARENA.com. Good luck

I like the N80, but i am not sure. hmm even the N73. But 15FPS for video looks a bit choppy. i dont know what my current w810i does but yeah.....
