Looking for a new phone...

My V551 is on its last legs - it's turning off randomly, mic keeps cutting in and out, etc.

With that said, I'm looking for a replacement. I have have a year left on my contract with cingular, so I'll be sticking with them.

aside from the basics (calling + text messaging), I only need a 'decent' camera (nothing too fancy, but i can't stand the grainy cellphone / webcam pictures) and Bluetooth (for headset and car).

I don't need a music player as I have an iPod for that. Unless the phone has some form of WiFi, I won't be using the internet on it at all. After my experience with the V551, I would perfer to stay away from flip style phones in general.

quickly browsing some sites, the two phones that've really caught my attention are the Samsung D900 and the LG KG800.

any others i should be looking at?
Thanks
 
hmm I remember skimming over that phone, it seemed too focused on being a music player for me (which is not what i'm looking for), i'll give it a closer look though.
 
After taking a closer look at all 3, I've complied a list of what I like and don't like about the phones:

Samsung D900:

Pros:
3 megapixel camera
MicroSD slot
Document viewer
Great screen

Cons:
Reception is not that great
Menu is a bit cluttered
USB 1.1 only
A bit on the big side

LG KG800:

Pros:
Looks amazing
Perfect size imo

Cons:
No Memory slot
Sub-par camera
Bluetooth 1.2

Sony W810i:

Pros:
FM Tuner
USB 2.0
Video Player
Infrared port

Cons:
mem stick format
Not a fan of the design

I've highlighted the big selling points in blue to me, and the big deal breakers in red.

As it is, I'm leaning towards the D900. If all goes well, I plan to make a purchase from saberpoint this monday.
