Well I am thinking of getting a new phone, previously have had the i835 and the i730.

These are the requirements for what I need on the phone:

-Windows Mobile Based Phone
-Wi-Fi Enabled
-GPS Enabled
-Camera / Video Camera / Flash
-Big Screen
-Slot To Change Memory Card
-Good Call Quality
-Good Battery Life (Very Important)

I'm looking for a phone like this anywhere between 100-400$.

Also can you please recommend me good service / plan, this is what I'd need for that:

-Unlimited Data
-Free Nights And Weekends (preferably 7PM-7AM)
-500 Monthly Minutes - 900 Monthly Minutes (500 is fine)
-Good Service (Very Important)
-Unlimited Text Messaging / Fast Text Messaging

I'd hope the plan would be anywhere from 30-60$.

I appreciate anybody who tries to help me out.
 
Thanks for the response. Just checked it out and it seems to meet all of my requirements with a perfect price as well. The biggest problem seems to be their plans. If I were to go with the 300 minute a month myfaves plan it'd be 39.99 (very reasonable) but then it's 30 more dollars for unlimited internet access bringing the total to 70$ a month which is quite expensive. Then if I wanted to go with text messaging I'd have to pay 15 dollars more making the total 85$, do you have any reccomendations for any cheaper plans?

Boost Mobile offers a plan 50$ a month which has unlimited text messaging / internet access, unlimted nights and weekends and 300 minutes. That's a great plan but I think I'd have to go with a T-Mobile plan for this phone but not sure the cheapest one to go with that'll cover my requirements. Thanks again.
 
Perhaps your projected price for the coverage is not realistic. T-mo has some of the best rates around and data can be costly. However, I believe the Dash can use a Blackberry BIS data plan. If I am correct, you can have 1,000 minutes with unlimited data for $60.
 
All and all I think I could deal with the monthly fee, but I do have a question about the Wi-Fi. Is it reliable / fast? I've never really gotten into researching it but was wondering if I'd be able to use it all of the time with no problem?
 
Make sure T-mobile (or whomever you pick for that matter) provides coverage where you are going to use the phone, i.e. where you live, work, travel and play.
 
Thanks for the reply. Through research I've found where I live has very poor coverage with T-Mobile, but I still would very much like this phone. Would it be possible to purchase this phone (T-Mobile Dash) and unlock it with a program of some sort so I could then use it with a service provider which has better coverage in my area (haven't researched other providers, but such as Boost Mobile, Cingular, etc) ?
 
Well yes, you could buy an unlocking program for the T-mobile Dash. Thats what I got for my Dash and I use mine on Cingular no problem.

But if you unlocked it it would only work on T-mobile or Cingular.
 
Thanks for your reply. Darn, only Cingular or T-Mobile? I wanted to possibly get it onto Verizon Wireless as I've heard they have great service in many areas.

Edit: Just realized under Cingular / T-Mobile me getting this phone wouldn't be such a good idea as if the coverage effects the Wi-Fi, in my area I would barely be able to use it. So do you know any phones that meet my requirements under a 3G network? Hate to ask so many questions.
