cell phone suggestion?

[paulw86]

1 = good reception
2 = long battery life
3 = GSM phone
4 = tri or quad band
5 = no camera (well doesn't matter if the phone is relatively cheap)
6 = cheap

any suggestions?
btw, i'm bound to try non-flips again =) or slides/whatever

That only matters for CDMA phones. If you're talking GSM, any phone will do.

Tell us if you're using GSM or CDMA. Did you not read my phone suggestion? If you demand flip, you're throwing out some of the best phones (K750i, W800i).

 

[Mickey Eye]

Yeah that flip requirement screws you out of the w800i. Otherwise it would suite you nicely.

 

[paulw86]

I dunno, but since my last SE I don't like the brand very much. Crap as hell reception (not the problem of my provider)
besides, by setting those requirement, i suppose you guys know that I don't want to spend so much on a camera phone b/c when I take photos, I like to do it with my Canon A610

Nokia 6230 FTW!
RAZR fits all but one of your requirements. Battery life is just average. With bluetooth on, mines needs a recharge after a little more than 2 days. My gf's 6230 can go for over 5 days with bluetooth on.

 

[paulw86]

wow that 6230 you suggested looks pretty cleeeean =D
does it play mp3?

You should visit howard forums.

 

[Ilmater]

Why only GSM? Just curious. Are you somehow convinced that GSM is just better than CDMA?

 

[CptObvious]

The Nokia 6101/6102 has gotten good reviews, and I think meets your requirements. I'll probably get it when I switch providers.

Please. If you're talking GSM, only one provider is realistic anyway. Why would anyone go with T-Mobile except to MAYBE save a few bucks. Their network is 1/2 what Cingular's is, and they don't have as many subs to use mobile-to-mobile minutes with.
