what phone to get?

You might want to list some of your preferences, such as form factor, features, etc.

 

I like the Nokia 6102 no bluetooth or the motorola 557 it has bluetooth.

 

I would say Motorola V3 RAZR BLK or SLVR, even though you don't like bar phones.

 

The V557 is nice, its free after rebate, but you said you like an external color screen. In that case I would recommend a Motorola V3. It is available from Cingular in silver, black, or pink. It was on sale a few weeks ago for $49.99, but now its $99.99. They'll probably put it on sale again in a few weeks.

If you don't mind shopping online, I just started a new line with Cingular through Amazon - got a black RAZR for $99.99 but with a $200 rebate, so I make $100 on the deal. Pretty good if you ask me; I have bought 5 phones now through Amazon and have had excellent customer service with them - YMMV.

 

I say a razr too!

 

The Nokia 6102i is around the bend, it will be at a good price point, have BT, and wont have Motorola's UI which I think is terrible.

The Sony Z520a is a good buy as well IMO.

 

Don't forget the $25 customer referral bonus too!
