I have 2 days to decide...

Please help me...I started a contract with T-Mobile - ordered the SDA (free after $50 rebate) because I was told I could use Wi-Fi for free (w/out internet package). I find out that's not true. So I want to get a smaller phone (I only have 2 days to send it back), but I don't know what I should get. My main requirements:

1) Must be able to sync with my Outlook Calendar on my home PC.
2) Camera/video
3) Be able to copy MP3 files from my PC to the phone and use them for ringtones.
4) Want it to be smaller than the SDA (flip phone??)
5) These are the "free" phones I can choose from: RAZR V3, Nokia 6103, Samsung T619, Samsung T319, Samsung Trace, Nokia 6030, Samsung T209.

I appreciate any/all feedback!!! I am not a phone "expert", so please try to stay away from a lot of acronyms
 
Out of those, I would go for the Samsung Trace (T519).

I don't know what you are talking about but I used WiFi (free hotspots) for free when I used my SDA.
 
I am not paying for internet access - I tried to get to the internet using my wi-fi at home, and it sees the network, but won't download any pages in IE. I was on the phone with 5 different tech support people and the final conclusion is that I need to pay $29.99 for internet service. It doesn't make sense to me!!
 
I had the T-mobile Wing for about a week and a half and used several wi-fi connections including my office and my home without having the data plan. Wi-fi should work whether or not you have a data plan. At least it did with the Wing.
 
That is what I thought -- I went into a t-mobile store today and I am going to trade it in for the T-mobile Dash. The store owner said it may be a problem with my phone that I can't display web pages over my wi-fi. Thanks for the input!
 
Well...I went to exchange my phone at the t-mobile store at the mall. It turns out that I would have to cancel the plan I have in order to get a new phone, and the plan I have is no longer available. So I'm going to stay with the SDA for now. I like the easy sync with my Outlook calendar, and the Mp3 files for ring tones.

Does anybody have any idea why I am not able to download a page from the internet using my wi-fi connection? It is definitely connected, but I get a 502 error when I try to download any page using IE. Tech support has no clue (I spent about 3 hours on the phone with 5 different people!!! -- won't do it again!).

I would also like to add more memory to it.

I would have stayed with Cingular - I have had the same account since my Bag Phone!!! (used to be Cellular One). But T-Mobile had a better Family Share plan that I now need with my kids.
