This is my first post here and I would appreciate your guys' help.

I'm using T-Mobile USA and would like a GSM slider phone (possibly with 850MHz so I can roam a bit more).

Here are the features I want:
1. Looks good, stylish
2. Decent MP3 player for casual listening, usually no more than 30 minutes at a time so it's not that important.
3. Decent camera
4. Obtainable under $400 US
5. Preferably a slider

Other features such as 3G are not a big deal to me.

My first choice right now is the Samsung U600, but I am worried about the touch controls and the proprietary headphone plug as the included headphones supposedly don't sound very good. There's the D900 but I don't like the design.I also really like the Prada but it's way to expensive. I think the LG Shine might meet the criteria but I can't stand the way it looks and it doesn't support GSM 850. What are some other options I should consider?

Thanks
 
The U600 seems to be the right choice. But if there isn't a way to use decent head phones then maybe it isn't. Consider the Sony Ericsson W580. It's not out quite yet but its a thin slider, a walkman phone, and has a 2MP camera.
 
Thanks for the reply but I don't really want to get a Sony Ericsson mainly because I already have a 2GB microSD card for something else. It would be easier since I can have my music on one card and use it on both devices, I don't want to go and buy a Memory Stick. If I did want to get a Sony though, I think I'd want the S500 since it looks a lot better.

As for the headphone problem with the U600, I guess I could just get a good bluetooh AD2P headset.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, it looks like a great phone. I will consider it but I kinda need a phone soon so it might not come out in time.
 
I'm considering it, but the lack of 850Mhz support and the shiny stainless steal color scheme makes me not like it as much.

As for the U600, I'm assuming an adapter like this one will allow me to use my own headphones which should solve one of my problems with it.
