Hey guys, I've dropped my E398 one too many times and it's time to replace it. I'm looking for another phone and don't want to spend much more than $300. Only criteria is that it must be able to play mp3 ringtones. I'd also prefer a black phone but that's not a must.

I was first thinking about getting a black RAZR but everyone and their mother has a RAZR. I'd prefer something not so common and with EDGE (although not a must). So I'm kinda thinking about getting a Motorola L7 but I'm not sure how realiable those are and if there are any software issues with it (besides my E398, I haven't had good experiences with Motorola). The L7 is also a little more expensive than I planned on spending.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot
 
Oh whoops.. forgot a couple things: it MUST have a good speaker phone and be GSM. I don't really care if it's a candy bar style or clamshell but I don't care for sliders too much (although I'd be willing to give one a try if it was really good). Thanks again for any help
 
In my opninion, the best phone under 300 bucks is by far the Audiovox 5600.

This phone is $250 with out contract and it includes:

1. Bluetooth
2. Email and Web access - easy,easy synch up with outlook.
3. Windows Mobile 2003/ Media Player 10 - can be used as mp3 player
4. Mini SD memory Expansion
5. Camera W/ Video capabilities
6. Bright colorful screen
7. Small compact package.
 
I second the vote for a Nokia 6230. Small, Sleek, EDGE, MP3 Ringtones.... Sounds like it would be a great phone for you And you should be able to grab one for around $200 USD

Or if you want something with more of a "WoW" factor on it, you could try a Sony Ericsson S710. Awesome Screen, Great Camera, MP3 ringtones support.... And EDGE aswell Im pretty sure... Either way, another good phone for under $300 USD.

Personally, I'd go to www.gsmarena.com and check up on some of the older stuff from the manufacturers, and then make a decision. Let us know what you end up going with
