Yeesh. Clunky and ugly. Better figure out what you need and what you are willing to spend. That one's definitely one for casual users who carry it around in the pocket.Quote:

And I thought I made it pretty clear that I am a casual user, who will carry it around in my pocket.
I bought a new TV last night. 40" Sony, 1080p.
Is nice.

The iPhone is like $200 with a 2-year contract.
This one looks like it could be nice, too...

I read it on the Verizon website. Perhaps it varies.Quote:

This is what I have:

It's got everything but WiFi and GPS, Symbian S60 smartphone, MicroSD card expansion, 2mpx camera with flash, 2" 320x240 screen, 369MHz processor... and it's small, light and lightning fast. I can't imagine getting something fancier any time soon. Yours looks twice as big with limited capabilities. I guess I'm just a smartphone nazi.:lol:
Heh, I remember you posting a pic when that first came out. Crazy, but I'm sure it won't be too long before most phones have that feature.Quote:

The LG Dare.
When I have to buy a phone I just ask which one's cheapest and smallest.
I thought this was an oxymoron these days. Do you specify that you wish for the former to be fulfilled to the extent possible before the latter is considered?Quote:

And this to carry it:

I thought it was becoming the opposite. iPhones and the like are much bigger than your average bottom of the line phone.Quote:

Yeah, the HTC Touch Diamond is pretty cool, especially if there's a good deal on it... the only gripe is that it's Windows Mobile 6.1 dressed up in a neat new UI. It has pretty much anything you'll ever need, and more, feature wise, and it's built pretty damn well. I say go check it out and see how it feels.Quote:

It's pretty small thin and light and was basically the cheapest phone on the market.
In my experience, all cheap Nokias are chubby.
Basically I want something with enough functionality and quality design that I won't be disappointed with its performance, but I also want something affordable and that isn't overkill for my needs.
Like I said earlier, I want one that's good for texting (full QWERTY keyboard is a must...I can't stand typing with digits), and that won't break up every 10 seconds if I get a call.
But I don't really plan on browsing the web, using FaceBook, any of that crap.
It's a life saving feature.Quote:
