Hi,

I lost my Sony Ericsson T610 (T-Mobile) last week and have been on the hunt for another phone. It's been frustrating. I seem to have just missed a lot of promotions. Here's what I'm looking for, roughly in order of priority:

1 - works with iSync (Apple)
2 - under $50 after rebates
3 - good reception
4 - durable (I keep it in front jeans pocket)
5 - good vibrate mode (my default)
6 - optimally, Bluetooth but USB syncing is okay, too
7 - can set alarm as well as countdown timer
8 - would be great to get an mp3 player on the phone
9 - a decent camera would be nice, too
10 - speakerphone would be nice but not absolutely necessary
11 - ideally, it could sync street addresses, not just phone & email

I'm not likely to be messaging much, checking email or web on the phone. I also don't care about games, ringtones, or wallpaper. Likewise using it as a modem is something I might try sometime but not a priority.

Verizon would work best for me in terms of coverage, but I'm open to others. Can't do T-Mobile because I'm leaving. I'd prefer a one-year contract.

I hope I'm not asking for too much. The above requirements are more or less in order of priority.

I bought an E815 from Amazon but have had screwy shipping on it twice now and kind of want to go out tomorrow and just buy a damn phone... been without one for two weeks, and I have no land line. Then I heard that the E815 had really sketchy vibrate. I also looked at the W600i, but Cingular coverage is kind of sketchy at my brother's house...

Thanks for your help!

The under $50 after rebates thing is the killer.

I'd say if you dropped that you could find a Sony Ericsson K700 cheapish but not sub $50 online.
Nokia 6620 is good.
RAZR V3 is good (meh to the haters)
Motorola V635
SE Z520i

I guess what I'm trying to say is this go buy your phone seperately if you want something worth a damn. If you redo a contract somewhere turn around and sell whatever crap phone they give you to get some of your money back.
 
Thanks, Vampgirl.

I can get a bunch of phones online for free, including W600i, V3 and E815. If I stuck with Verizon, would E815 be my best bet?

I have no money to spend on a phone, unfortunately.
