I took my phone (Samsung N400) back to Best Buy on the account of warranty. After getting my credit for the phone, I proceed to find out that the A500 is only $150 for new customers, not existing customers. Shoot... I guess I should read the fine print a little bit better. The old man who's from SprintPCS or something (he was wearing their polo and a name tag so I guess he's a rep) conned me into buying the Sanyo 8100. I paid the extra $53 to upgrade and left. Now I'm wondering if I should have just got the equal swap with the Sanyo 4900. I'm not really going to use the camera on the Sanyo 8100, so can you point something out to me on why I should keep it?

Camera phones rock. I love my 5300. Think of it like this then, do you prefer a flip or a candybar? I would say both phones are of equal quality.

All my 4 phones have been flip phones. I like them. Do you?

$53 for a camera plus flip sounds like a good deal to me. You can still exchange it if you want. Try it for a couple weeks and see if you like it more than the 4900.

I like flip phones, but my main thing is external caller ID so I know who's calling me. I just don't know what I'd need a camera in my phone for when I have a digital camera and service to upload pictures onto my phone. Is there any big software differences that would mean for me to steer away from the Sanyo 4900?

Nope. 4900 is rock solid. Its the Chevy Truck of Sprint phones;)

Alright, then I'll be taking the 8100 back before the week is over.
