Best Phone to Get?

I am going to get a new phone tomorrow as my 8250 (which I love) is getting old and it is time for an upgrade (I wanna give the 8250 to someone for chrissy too)
I was thinking the 3200, but are there any better ones out there I should think about?

like picture ID? that's is cool as...
3200 has a camera too and you can print off pictures for it and use them under the clear cover for your cover.
but I was thinking Bluetooth would be cool too so I can sync it with my laptop. Hmm... what has a Camera AND Bluetooth?

the erricson t610 is a good phone and is as easy to use as a nokia but a far better price. I'm looking at a Nokia 6600 with video and still camera and blue tooth. Very Exy.

AHH!!
The 6600 isn't free till the $99 plan or is about $479 on the 55 plan.
the T610 USED to be free, but now is about $200 on the $55 plan.
I can pay the excess in installments, but man that is expensive.
Are the Sony Ericssons reliable/tough? I know one friend who has had a really bad experience of them just breaking at the slightest provocation.

Yeah. My phone was about $350 extra on my plan. Worked out to be about $11 a month. Thing is if you are like me and look like being able to renew my contract in 15 months instead of 24 months, I save a lot of money.

hey Jason that sounds awesome!
'cause I really want bluetooth too.. hey is it pretty durable? Is the interface as intelligent as Nokia? 'cause generally speaking Nokias are pretty tough.
I would hook it up to my computer via a USB blutooth adapter I think.
email me a pic dude and I will host it rob@roblincolne.com

It is very durable and puts up with a lot of my crap,
The level of intellegence for the phone is somewhat similar to windows and the way it is set up.
Nokias arnt that durable i have killed everyone of my nokias that i ever owned their quality is just not up to scratch as far as im cncerned.
I have a usb and a serial cable adapter hooked up to my phone and machine.
ps pic sent

The 6600 has blue tooth as well, and a better screen and a better camera and video capabilities.
Nothing personal Jason. But out of the two, if you are willing to pay a bit extra, I would say that the 6600 is a better phone. Althought that Erricson does look very nice.

yeah but the nokia is like $200 more so you would expect a few more features
anyway, here is a the picture off the T610 (thankx Jason) it is 13kb. Pretty alright for a phone I reckon

Its a bit grainy because the lense is dirty as i said it is a phone and gets used like one.
Its pretty amusing actually with the usb bluetooth reciever that i have for my computer as it picks up all the bluetooth devices that people have in the offices where i am. if only i had their passwords so i could get on their machines and phones

T610 is a wicked phone, mine is on a $45 a month plan with $45 credit each month. I was going to get T300(?) but once I saw the T610 I had to have it. Gizmo's galore, my mates love playing with my phone

Anyone that whinges about quality:
A) ITS A FREAKING PHONE NOT A CAMERA
B) imagine the gprs costs you would pay sending 1280x1024 3 megapixel photos
