I own a Nokia 6230. I recently had jury duty, and they tell you no camera phones are allowed. If you bring one, you must "check" it when you show up and can only pick it up when you leave for the day. What's my point? Make sure your backup phone does not have camera. I moved my SIM into a 6590 and had no problems.

If you feel cheap, do what I did, get a Tmo-2-go nokia 6010 phone (goes for 40 dollars at walmart) get it unlocked and BAM! A cheap back-up phone costing from 40-50 bucks depending if you have it unlocked by yourself or someone else!

Also, you can log onto Cingular's website, go to prepaid options, and buy a Samsung C207 for $32.48 after Tax (for Texas). It's a great little phone, just pop your SIM card in there and you're good to go. I did this recently, you get priority shipping for free, ordered mine on Tuesday, got it Friday morning. It's about the same size as the 3120, but with different featrues. It lacks the speakerphone of the 3120, but has a MUCH better screen. Great for a cheap backup phone w/ no camera.

N6230 with camera; N3120 without camera.

N6230b because it is still available from Cingular.
