My current cellphone is on its last legs - Any suggestions on what to get to replace it.
The speaker for the ringer is dying on my LG C2000. Quite frankly I hate the phone anyway, and have had nothing but trouble with the battery since the warranty is no longer in force.

I would like to spend less than $200. A camera would be good, bluetooth would be nice, I do like the flip or clamshell phones, because I do not have to lock the buttons on them.

Help!

1. The hinge on my ancient motorola broke
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 03:30 PM by lizziegrace
I got this one



I've heard good things about Samsung and LG. I am not a fan of Motorola Razr and the other fad phones...

2. cool .. I just upgraded to that phone too ..
tracking says it should arrive tomorrow :)

I like the features ... at my new job I can't email on the computer ... so stay in touch with the family during the day with the phone. Its getting difficult to type without the qwerty ... so I really liked that feature. It was time to upgrade .. with discounts and such ... the cost was $30 for the phone.

3. One of my friends has that phone
She got it when it first came out, so probably about a year ago. She LOVES it, and she uses/abuses her cell phones ALL the time. She loves it.

4. I have the same phone. I love it!
I do wish I had held out for the new one with the touch screen though.

11. That looks cool.
I have been rather unhappy with my LG, but it might just be that I am unhappy with the model of phone, and not the brand itself.

21. I've been impressed with the battery life so far
and the reviews I read put it ahead of a comparable Samsung model.

5. I heard that the iPhone is really cool
But the selfish Loungers refused to give me theirs! Can you believe it?

8. iPhone
I have one and I'll never go back. There should be an upgrade announced next week, hopefully with 3G data support.

Plus I worked on the software, so it's gotta be cool!

9. isn't the 3G problem
more of a hardware issue than a software one? be fun though.

I am looking forward to multi-party texting, can't believe I can't do that. and would picture messaging be too modern?

14. Yes, I believe you'll need the new phone for that
Networking isn't my area, so I may be wrong here.

13. Once the new version is announced, you'll be able to get a used one cheap
This version is just fine, esp if you have wifi at home and/or you aren't a big data hog.

18. Get a Nokia
I've had 3 Nokias, and several other brands. The Nokia's seem to me to be the most robust, and least inclined toward issues...
