    So... i could use some extra money right now, and I dont love my iPhone that much to keep it, so im thinking about selling it and getting another phone... I used to have a w810 and i liked it alot, does any one know of a nice phone with similar specs that i could get for under 200? or 100 :D?

    Samsung or Nokia are pretty good. Stay away from LG if you're shopping within that price range...

    nokia or sony erricsson especially the walkman phones are great, i'm looking at getting a W580i or a W910i which i've been told are good but newer nokias are just a good.

    Look at a N95 as they have just bought out an 8Gb model so the older ones may be going a bit cheaper

    Get that new Samsung, the one with touchscreen and slider (K700 I think) so you wont miss the iPhone, not much at least...

    I just got a verizon EnV2 and I love the phone. I paid 275$ with the plan (the phone itself is like 350-400 as its LG) but its a AWSOME phone.

    i just got the samsung juke. I REALLY like it.

    Has 2GB for mp3's, it's not a slider or a flip or a bar...it flicks out through teh side. it's nice. it's ridiculously small and only about 60 bucks.

    I took some pics just now with my webcam to show how small it is to my Moto Razr

    Get a WinMo phone, they can be cheap and easily hackable to do what you want with it. Since you have an iPhone I'm going to hedge that you have ATT/Cingular, why not pickup a Samsung blackjack?

    That said, how big is your iPhone, and what are you asking for it ;-)

    Haha...thats pretty good.

    Hope Verizon didn't pull the usual shit and replace it with there own garbage ass UI like they do on most of there phones. If you still have Verizon, anyways.

    it's verizon exclusive, and it's SIMILAR to their UI. But different. It works REALLY well with this phone, i like the click wheel on it. I didn't mind the UI on my old moto, but on my Razr it lagged.

    I usually hate power rangers and the products but now that I have seen the overdrive thing I want one to mod into a working cell phone :)
