I need opinions on what new phone to get. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Ok so I'm on cingular. With my plan, I can upgrade the 27th of this month. I'm looking for some opinions on what phone to get, but I'm not trying to spend a whole buttload of cash on it. (i.e. iPhone or blackberry pearl lol) I would love to get both but can't afford it. I was looking through phones on cingulars website, and I was also thinking about maybe picking up a refurb. Anyways, what do you guys think? Right now I have a Sony Ericsson z520a, so I want something with at least equal capabilities. As for a price range, not totally sure yet, but probably not more then like $150 at the most. Also, could I purchase a used phone and throw my sim card in it and just be dandy like that?

Yes. The new Blackberry Curve looks SWEET, but you said you don't wanna spend that much.

You give me too much credit......I think??

Right now I am rotating between the Samsung I718 and the 02 Xda. They are both touch screen and they both run on windows mobile.
