Ok, I need a new phone. Looking for something with 1+ MP camera, mp3 player, speaker phone, internal antenna, and removable memory. On a GSM network with T-mobile.
A clamshell, slider, or the swivel type. (Nokia, Samsung, Sony, Motorola)

I'm in college so I don't want to spend TOO much, but want the most bang for my buck (250 USD). I've been looking around everywhere and ended up on here. And everyone seems so knowledgable that I just want some opinions.

I was looking at the Motorola V635 but it seems like an old phone. Haha, I have NO clue about new phones except what I learned a these last couple of days. The Sony Ericsson w500 and w600 seem ok, but was just looking at more options out there.

And none of that Razr and Sidekick 3 stuff either.

Thanks for to those who reply.
 
The Samsung E900 is pretty cool,

Its small, compact, stylish slide phone...great camera. I'm not sure on the prices for the USA though
 
You really need to visit a website that compares phones and features to help you narrow your search.

After visiting just about every cell phone information resource website I could find (phonescoop, Lowermybills, and a bunch of others) I came across a site that does a great job of side by side comparison of any model, style, price,features, carrier and just about any other filtering criteria you can think of! www.phonedog.com.

I wound up going with the VX8300 from Verizon. Its probably the best phone I have owned so far.

I really like the MP3 player (even though it only plays WMA files)

I was teetering between the Razr v3c and the Treo 700.
I just couldn't justify carrying around the bulky Treo and the Razr although thin was to big for my taste.

Good luck
 
I know that I should compare. But it does me better when actual people tell me how some of the phones are because they own them. I just learned about WSOD is and slowly learning new stuff. Didn't know you can actually "hack" into your phone. I'd still like people's opinions on phones.
 
Also try www.gsmarena.com

They have everything under the sun about mobiles etc. You can't buy from here but its a great source of info.
 
Eeewww..

The Samsung T809 would probably have been your best bet. Its insanely slick and small. Has everything else you asked for, and roams on Cingular's 850 network... which means it will have better signal than all the other non 850 phones.
