I'm going to get a cell phone in June. I really want this phone:

Samsung VGA1000 (A620) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000C1HLG?v=glance)

It has a camera with flash, and I heard the picture quality is one of the best there is. You can take pictures and email them wirelessly with a voice message attached to it. You can play games on it, like Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. And it doesn't only have Caller ID, but when someone calls, you can set the phone to show the callers picture instead.

Seems like a great phone.

Verizon has the best signal reception.

All calls to other Verizon Wireless customers are free + free nights + free weekends.


The perfect phone has:

Excellent color picture

Camera with flash

Push-to-talk

Built in speakerphone

Palm OS with letter keys

Small size but not too small

Internet access

Downloadable rings

Memory card

Accepts add-ons (GPS, etc.)

could have bought it a few weeks ago at radio shack for 29.99 :P , but sprint decided to raise the price, hehe, otherwise a good phone. we have sold several in my store and haven't had any complaints about them at all.

the original pricing was 249.99 with a 200.00 instant rebate from sprint for a new customer (mail in rebate for existing customers) plus a 20 dollar instant rebate from radio shack.

the new pricing os now 249.99 with only a 150 dollar rebate from sprint as sprint has disallowed the radio shack instant rebate.

and bowen, that price is for unactivated handsets only, as a new customer and an existing customer will get a 150 rebate (whether mail in or instant)
