Need help picking a cell phone

[pennylane]

I'm in some Cingular family plan...
Not all upgrades are free. I'm only listing the ones that are $50 or less. Note that I do very little with my phone. I call people and text message and that's it. I just have an old phone that doesn't work as well. I just want something reasonable and doesn't draw attention (ie, "wow your phone is really old!" or "wow! your phone is really expensive!"). Smaller is better, also. I have no preference between flip and non-flip.

Here are some links...

Apparently in-store, I can get a Samsung C207for free and a Motorola V551 for $50 (after rebate).

Among on-line offers...
Sony Ericsson Z500a ($0 for refurb)
Sony Ericsson T237 ($0 for refurb)
Nokia 6010 ($0)
Samsung X427M ($0)
LG C1300i ($20)
Siemens CT66 ($30)
Motorola V220 ($30)
Motorola V180 ($40)
LG L1400i ($50)

I'm interested in an upgrade as well and I'm on the cingular 500 min family plan. Do these require a 2 year extension?

I have the v220 and like it. The only gripe I have is the screen on it is pretty crappy compared to its competitors. And the only game they give you on it is a crappy trial version of bejewelled.Fvck you motorola, give me a better game

v551 is what I'd choose. I think it looks the best, and is one of Cingular's more popular phones. Seems to have lots of games graphics and ringtones for it on their MEdia Mall.

You like it? I have the v220 for a month and I hate the ring volume and voice volume. I turned it all the way to the max <7> and still not loud enough. I used to have the Nokia 5600 and it was fine. Good thing that I only have 1 year contract, back to Nokia next year.

THe voice volume is fine but I have noticed the ring volume is a little low for my liking but not low enough for me to complain about it. So far it has served me well but I got it a while ago so I am sure there are newer and better models out.
