Default Cingular phones

I'm switching from Verizon to Cingular today and wanted some recommendations on some phones.

I'm looking for a decent camera phone with bluetooth under $150. I don't really like the razr and my sisster is picking up the new Nokia 6102, which I might also get if nothing else is available. Just wondering which phones are worth getting as I'm coming from a Samsung a670 from Verizon.

I guess you could try the Sony Ericsson S710a. It has a 1.3MP camera and also has bluetooth with a beautiful large screen. Unfortunately the phone has a swivel design (not a lot of people like it) and this also makes the phone a little bit on the large side (when it's open).

why the hell would you switch from verizon to cingular? :slap:

anyway... the moto v551 has a camera and bluetooth. as does the sony s710. the 710 has a 1.3mp camera.

the only other bluetooth enabled cingular phones that i sell are the treo and the razr.

We didn't get any service with Verizon at our house and some other technical problems with them. Luckily, we were able to cancel our plan without any penalty (saved us $500+) due to some new admin charges they had.
