Hey, I'm looking for a cingular compatible flip phone w/3G support, bluetooth, a decent camera, and an mp3 player. Also, I'd like to have a phone that's a little different, something not everyone else has. I can afford to spend about $300 but I want an unlocked/unbranded phone. I prefer Nokia/Sony Ericsson builds. I'm pissed because the SE z610

(http://cti-miami.com/products/sony-ericsson-z610-pink.html)

is my DREAM phone but it doesn't have 850 support. The external display and mirror finish are sweet. I would buy one with tmobile service but I'm still mooching off my parents' cingular family plan for 9.99 a month (I'm the only one who really uses the minutes.) I know that SE is planning a quadband version the z750 but I can't wait 9 months ... I need a phone now. Also, I was looking into the N75 but it's definitely out of my price range. Also, could I use the z610 on a cingular network or would it just give me problems without the 850 support? Any help/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
In metropolitan and urban areas, you more than likely can get away with just using 1900Mhz. But it's always a best bet to stay with a phone that supports 850Mhz...you don't want to take that chance. There are some flip phones that can use Cingular's 3G.

LG CU400, CU500
Moto RAZR V3xx
Samsung SYNC, ZX10, ZX20

If I had a choice, I'd get the Samsung SYNC for the time being then wait until the launch of the SE Z750. I'm also looking forward to that phone. Since I already have a 3G compatible phone, I'm pretty much patient until its release.
