New Cell Phone

Brautigam · 10-28-2006, 09:58 PM

What is the best "new" cell phone within 2006? I need a new cell phone, not a PDA (computer phone).

Wants:

A media center like feel, with a music player, video player, picture viewer, etc.
A mini transflash card slot because I have a 1gb card with music and stuff.
A camera and video camera
A good outside display that is big enough and color so I can do self portraits with the camera

Also, it would be really cool if there was a feature that lets you make your own ringtones instead of paying $3 for each 20 second instrumental.

The phone I have been looking at right now is the LG 8300 but I am not positve about it.

What is your suggestion??

Thanks!

Questionable where this needs to be, so I just stuck in the off-topic section

When I worked at a hospital over the summer, we were looking for a similar device. We ended up going with the XV6700...

It's offered by a few other places, not just Verizon.

I think regardless, whatever you go with should be a full fledged pocketPC, and not just a plain cell phone or "SmartPhone"

I have that phone just in the Cingular version known as the Cingular 8125. It is nice, the camera is ok and its not transflash but MiniSD.

There is a new version coming out, the 8525 I think its called. I would wait around for some newer phones to come out.
