Hi all, just returned from a trip abroad with my Nokia 6133, and though I like it for daily use it's apparent something a lil more robust would be useful for future travel.

Still gotta be a multi-band phone with T-mo, as it was very nice having my cell work just as well in the UK and Portugal as it does in the U.S.

Needs also to have better cam/video quality- my 6133 cam is only really good in high light stills, it comes up short in dark stills and video modes.

Needs to have 'real' browsing capability- my 6133 can only do wap, and as such won't load sites I need frequently so I have to lug my laptop around additionally, which is a major pain! But, I'm not sure I'd like to pay $30/mo for T-mo's real internet service, or even more for foreign data rates... I think perhaps I'd rather wifi as needed.

Any other bells and whistles would be icing on the cake. Also, I get deals on the phones Tmo offers on their site, so something from there would be nice but not a requirement. Also looking to spend as little as possible, but also willing to pay more for quality and the features I need.

Thoughts?
 
I would strongly consider some of the HTC devices. Many of them have built-in WiFi. Almost all are EDGE or better, with some having 3G data services too (should you elect to pay for a data plan).

The HTC devices generally have at least a 1MP camera or better.

Many of these phones are readily available on eBay at reasonable prices.
 
Cool I'll have a look at those. Also, forgot to mention I'd like either a lotta mem onboard or expandable mem to hold all my pics and vid clips.
 
HTC devices have room for mini or microSD cards, so you'd be set there.

The i-mate SP5 (and similar devices, like the Qtek 8310 and T-Mobile SDA) are fairly small, have EDGE and WiFi, and can take additional memory cards. Granted, they're about 2 years old now, but they're still very capable and can be had on eBay for
 
I'm looking at some o those models... I think I need to stress my cam/vid requirement more. I want at least 2mp and above average vid capture (30fps capable ideally). Nokia n95 keeps popping up, nice but damn, $$$ >.
