What phone does Cingular offer, or is about to offer, that has, or comes closest to the following list:

1) Removable memory card, 2GB supported. (Mandatory feature)

2) Speakerphone (Mandatory feature)

3) Ability to record phone calls to memory card, up to 1 hour length, with no beeps, and no mile-long string of keystrokes needed to activate the call recording (Mandatory feature)

4) Decent camera with flash/led at least 1.3 megapixel, preferably 2 megapixel or better (Mandatory feature)

5) 250K+ colors screen (Mandatory feature)

6) Ability to record video from camera to memory card (not mandatory, but strongly desired)

7) MP3 player (Mandatory feature)

8) FM radio (not mandatory, but desireable)

9) Voice dialing (Mandatory feature)

10) MP3 ringtones, and ability to assign separate ringtones to an individual or at least a group (Mandatory feature)

11) Ability to *fully communicate* with a PC via BT, IR, and/or USB cable, including ability for me to make my own custom ringtones on my PC and install them to the phone directly over the BT, IR or USB without involving the carrier in any way. (Mandatory feature)

12) At least 3 hours talk time battery life and 4 days standby. (Mandatory feature).

13) Not any variant of a RAZR. (Absolutely Mandatory)

It really doesn't matter if it's a clamshell, slider or candybar phone.

I think the closest you can come to that is a PDA phone like the Hp hw6515, it doesnt just support up to 2gb its supports up to 6gb!

hofo users are so helpful!

seriously, guys, he asked for help. if you don't feel like answering, don't. even phonescoop's advanced phonefinder can't answer his questions, so don't just regurgitate "LOL JUST LOOK IT UP LOL". That's not even worth the bits it's made out of.

If you don't like the question, don't like to help in general, or don't like being civil, i'm sure there's a forum for you that would welcome posts like that. this just isn't it.

back to the question, though:

Check out the sony w810i:

(http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...m=pp1&pid=10376)

if you look elsewhere in this forum, you'll see that it is tentatively coming to cingular, so take that with a grain of salt. I have no personal experience with it, so certainly can't comment on all its features (especially the recording ones), but what i see:

1) memory stick pro duo support, up to 2GB.
2) has Speakerphone
3) unknown
4) 2mp cam with autfocus + photolight
5) 172x220 TFT w/262k+ colors
6) unknown.
7) is a walkman phone

8) has fm radio
9) hm, phonescoop said it had voicedial, sony site no mention. there's always the service cingular offers, i suppose.
10) if the OS is the same as the z520, which it should be, i can confirm this is a feature, indiv and group.
11) again, if OS is the same, i have real close to complete control over communications. caveat: i have an unlocked z520
12) they claim 8hr/350 hr. YMMV.
13) not razr.

I don't see how you found this to be a call for help.

Either way, encouraging Mr. Mandatory to learn how to camparison-shop for himself is alot more helpful than doing his homework for him.
