So my contract expires in two weeks, and i figured i may aswell pick up a new phone, as ive had a Motorola V400 for over 2 years now. But anyway, i think i'm going to stick with Fido as their service works for me. I'm in the GTA area.
So for what im looking in a new phone...
- Flip phone, or "clamshell" i think is the term
- Thin design
- Well built, i would like to find a phone with an aluminum or metallic casing, not plastic
- I'm not concerned about weight, just size. I would prefer a phone with a little bit of heft, not a featherweight plastic box.
- Bluetooth to connect to both my computer and PDA
- Camera is nice, decent one, as long as the phone has enough built in memory, or expansion slot
- MP3 ringtones
I'm not looking for a browser, or be able to download files with this phone. Those things i'll be doing mostly with my computer or PDA, so if anything i'll be beaming files over to the phone via blootooth if necessary (which i hope is possible). Not crazy about using this as an mp3 player, but if its put in properly, i dont mind.
A few phones that ive looked over
>> Motorola Razr V3, and V3x
>> Qtek 8500 - which i kind of like, because it has a WM5, which, in theory, should work nicely with my PDA
>> Nokia 6131
Although i havent seen the Qtek, ive held the Razr V3, and although it is nice and thin, its a bit light, and "plasticky" feeling; i am concerned about how easy it would be to break, especially the hinge. The V3x is a bit thicker, which is allright as well. Also I read up on the problem with the Qtek one... Although ive read some reviews around these that are overall positive.
Other than these two, are there any others in this style one could recommend? Something within the same price range ideally.
Thanks for any advice.
