I'm new to the smart phone world (yea, I know, I'm super late), but am finally going to get a smart phone in the next month or so.
I used and loved a Sony Ericsson w810i for the longest time. Temporarily using a LG CF360.
Anyway, I'm not really sure where to begin when shopping for a new smart phone. I don't upgrade phones often, so I really would hope this thing would last at least two years.
What I want:
-An actual qwerty keyboard
-Decent camera (more than 2.0 MP). Preferably one that is super easy to use. What I liked about the w810i is I could just hit a single button, flip my phone sideways and have it act like a camera.
-Upgradable memory card slot
-Good media player (this will also double as an MP3 player for me)
-Preferably a flash light on it.
-Wi-fi is a must.
I'm still undecided on OS. I really do like Android, but I just don't like the huge touch screen style that all android phones seem to have (as well as iphones). I prefer the traditional blackberry style (pre-Torch). If I could have a phone in this style that also uses Android, that would be perfect. Another problem is these types of phones are generally for business use, which means the camera and media player are usually not up to par with non-business phones.
Also, I have AT&T, but I am open to any type of phone. I really don't think I'll be investing in a data plan, so I'll have to look into unlocking a phone too, I guess. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
