I am in the market for a new phone, but only have $200. I have narrowed my choice to a SE Z500a. My question is, are there any comparable phones, or possible more equipped, for under $200? 😕 I currently do not qualify for any promos from Cingular.
...
Hey I have a BRAN NEW z500a NEVER OPENED that I will sell you. It is from Cingular in a Cingular Box.

just hope that your z500 doesnt get the BSOD! 😲
...
the LG1400 and Samsunge317 are pretty much the other choices you could campare with. Both have camera and external displays; however, one advantage the z500 has is a speakerphone. If you wanted to spend a little bit more and go with a bluetooth device i would get the Motorolla v551. but it is $199.99 after a $50 mail in rebate.
...
Instead of breaking the ToU, you should have private messaged me with that inquiry....
...
For that price it is about the best. A bit more gets you the V551 with Bluetooth but that depends on you.
The new Nokia 3220 is also out. Not a bad camera phone if you like Nokia non-flips.

BSOD=blue screen of death, apparently some of the z500a's would have this flaw (similar to what windows 98 experienced when you would nuke the hell out of it, or windows would nuke itself 😛 ) and it then drains battery like crazy, etc etc etc.......i personally dislike the z500a due to its small screen, as a flip phone its rather large at least take up that space w/ a larger screen.....oh well i am happy w/ my v802se 🙂
...
are you going into a new contract or buying outright?
...
Buying outright. I do not qualify for any new promos. I am most likely going to buy from eBay
...
i have a Z500a and i think it's really good. i like it a lot better than my old LG. it's more durable and i like the video fuction on it. i haven't had any problems yet (crosses fingers)
make sure if you buy the phone on EBAY that you get an unlocked one of course!
xoxo
...
I dont need to get an unlocked one... The phone was exclusively through Cingular. I am a Cingular customer....
BTW How long of a video can you do?
...
mmcnier I sent you a private message did you get it?
...
Yes & I replied... it was sent to your yahoo email
...
ok I just checkit and thats cool with me, just let me know. 🙂
...
Go to ebay and get the Siemens s66. Its is an excellent phone...
-Large Screen
-Bluetooth
-Speakerphone
-1.3 MP camera
-Video Capture
-Removable memory
That is probably the biggest bang for your buck
I get phones off of ebay all the time brand new really cheap. I got the s710a when it first came out for $350. Just read the entire auction carefully... 😳
...
I am a flip kind of person. Also, I want a phone that supposts MP3 ringers. Does this one?

tee hee 🙂
...
yes it does have MP3 ringtones 🙄
...
Dont roll your eyes...You didnt have to PM me either. We were talking about the Siemens s66 not the z500a
...
It was just about the features of the z500 that I already knew. He thought we were talking about that instead of the Siemens...Its all good though...I hope he didnt take it the wrong way...Now that I reread what I wrote I kinda sounded like a jerk... ðŸ¤
