I guess the 3 that I am interested in woudl be the T520A ( $0) , V360 ($100), Razr ($100)

These are all the phones that my provider carries:

The V3C (telus) and other Sony phones (Rogers) would be on another provider but they are pay by the minute, which I am still "researching". If they are MUCH MORE worth it then I MAY consider going to them.

The V3i is much too expensive. I'm looking at under $200 CDN

Thanks for any help

ALso like to add the w600 to the list.

the W600 is superior to the Motorola's. Its a really good phone, if you can get past the swivel bit.

A little too late :P. I ended up getting the T609.

I had the w600 and the t609 box's in my hands. But when I tried the model phones, I found that the w600's keypad kind of turned me off. I "dialed" a number, and I didn't really like how there was no space at all on the top and bottom of the buttons yet so much space between them (width).

I do sort've regret that decision. While the T609 as a phone, i like it A LOT more. Its a flipphone, which I like more than the swivel (the screen is protected etc.), and IMO the keypad is so much better.

However, I am disappointed that I can't use normal headphones with the t609 (I think you can do this with the w600? Imight be wrong) and that I cannot install java apps. This really aggravates me. I wanted a multimeida phone, something I could install loads of programs onto and have fun with. This isanother reason why I chose the 512MB over the 256MB of the w600.

Until someone finds a way for t609 users to upload java apps from USB, I really have to give this phone a hands down for people who want a multimeida phone.

Thanks for your input though anyway

If you ever hear of anyway to upload java apps, let me know

Well, I think the T609 is generally a good phone. And you can relax a little, since the W600 cannot take normal headphones (if by normal, you mean 3.5mm). Also, the W600's keyboard is known for generally sucking. If you really wanted a multimedia flip phone then I might have suggested the V635...but oh well.

Heh,well its all good for now.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the T609, theres jsut those few things that it could've had but it doesn't.

I have a W600 and you can use standard headphones with the wired stereo headset that comes with the phone. The stereo plug is in the microphone part of the headset.
