New cell phone time, help needed.
Alright, well my T720 got squished and the external screen has a big black dot covering most of it, so it's time for a new phone. My problem is this....
I would REALLY like to combine my phone, PDA, and Digicam into one device. But I just don't see that happening in the near future. Even the best cell phone camera is crap compared to a standalone camera, so that's out. I suppose a phone/PDA combo could be decent at both jobs. Problem is I bought an expensive PDA less than 6 months ago. So I think for the time being, I just need a phone.
Since I'm getting it solely for the phone aspect and not the features, I'd really like to have a cool looking phone. My first choice is the Razr V3, the store said I could upgrade to it for $400. (canadian, which is equivalent to the price if I got the phone with a 3-year contract). Good deal on the V3, but not sure if I want to drop that kind of cash on a phone.
So, school me on some decent phones that are out right now. I have liked my experience with my current Motorola, and my old Samsung was decent as well. Not really a fan of most Nokias I've seen. I am only interested in flip-phones, I MAY consider a slider to be different. I think this is a canadian only thing but my carrier is Rogers Wireless (At&t).
I guess having a crappy little camera on it might be convenient for taking snapshots of stuff or maybe just something I want to remember for later. But on the other hand I'm tempted to get a phone without a camera in protest to the crap cameras they have.
Cliffs: looking for a cool new phone, must be a flip-phone, features not very important

Wow, that's a nice lookin phone, and a 2MP camera is pretty decent. My problem with Nokia's in the past has been the software. I just hate the interface, but I haven't checked them out in a while. Any idea how much this phone costs?

I like the Siemens S66 and Nokia 6230 but they're both candybar style phones which isn't what you want.
Personally I find the smallest candybar phones to be more pocketable than most flip phones.
