Repost .. Hoping for help
Hey All - I'm going to be 6 weeks in Europe, and want to replace my old Nokia with something around 200-300 bucks. I'm a AT&T guy from WAY back, and will be using it with them on return. Been reading a LOT and know just enough to be dangerous LOL ! Heres the phones I've liked - any thoughts:
Nokia5300
Nokia6270
SamSung Black Carbon/SGH D900
Sony W580/S500(that AT&T contract ends JUST after I leave .. might get this later once it's got the 2 yr contract discount)
Can you tell I want a slider? Or a candybar...
They just feel more durable and my phones normally last me a cpl years.
Also - whats a good source for buying .. ? I've read a few horror stories about tech support if you don't buy through a carrier. NEWays thanks in adva...

i think you can pay a little more to get a better service policy from them

Will do - Anyone have any experience with these particular phones ? Like I said earlier .. seems like a smart time to pay for a nice phone .. and these sure look better than a Sync or any razr... I'm planning on leaving the 25th .. Going to be in Italy, maybe get as far as Hungary or Turkey if the money lasts .. will quad phones work there ?

IF you buy a unlocked phone, you can purchase sim cards with minutes on them over there too, to save you a little cash. Quad ban phones work in more places than any other phone. I like the Nokia 5300, but I don't know how durable slider phones really are.

www.plemix.com has good prices. Nokia and Sony Ericsson are super easy to set up for mms and gprs browsing either automatically through the phone or sending the settings through their web site. I would stear clear of the samsung because getting the right settings on those is touch plus the nok/se get better reception typically. One of my co-workers has the s500i from sony and it is a very nice phone.

Hey folks .. gonna get a Sony S500i in a cpl days .. looks like PLEMIX has the best price .. unless any1 says DON"T buy from them. Wondering - Wheres a good place for a cheap Memory Stick ? Any suggestions ?? thanks !
