Sony Ericsson K750i if you are the business type or the Sony Ericsson W800i eyes. They have the best cameras to date.

The v710 and 815 are good phones. The 815 is a bit too large in my opinion though. Personally I like the LG vx6100, but that's not being offered. I like the design and LG phones are really making a name for themselves. I rarely hear anything bad about LG. Motorola is popular, but some of their phone models are a bit flimsy as far as taking a beating.

It's also nice that they're offering you a free phone to stay with them. Most people don't get that deal.

i have the e815, nifty phone imho.
pros: hefty amount of features (tv/web/mp3 ring/mini cf card), ease of use, blue tooth detection is easy
cons: bulky, not incredibly sturdy based on the size, battery life when blue tooth is on is horrible

if you are planning to get a 2 year plan then the e815 is a pretty good option for the amount of money you would spend on a phone but 1 year it's a little pricey.

The VX8100 is great. The bluetooth and miniSD make it a step up from the VX8000 for the $30 difference. At that cost don't let price make your decision. It also is small but well built. The speaker, camera, speak phone, and vocie dilaing are all really good. Some people complain about reception but I have not had that issue. If you cna get EVDO as well, its a plus becuase it looks really nice on the phone...

How about this - get any one of those phones, sell it on eBay, anywhere, and use the money to buy a K750i.

whatever you do, do not waste your 2 year renewal on a VX6000 based on those reviews. You gotta get something newer like the VX8100 or 8000 based on what you need.
