    I'm thinking of getting a new cell phone but I've no idea what's good out there. I want a phone with a camera and one that slides instead of the flip up... any suggestions?

    Price range please!

    If you got money to spend then you could get a sony ericsson.

    But the first step would be deciding on what carrier you want so you can see the phones they have available. So take a look at some of the phone plans they offer and choose the carrier that suits you best.

    Yeah, price range gives you a good start... But as far as I know, the best camera phones are mostly SE... Unless you are ready to dish out some serious money.

    Telus doesn't really have any good camera phones. Unless you're fine with 1.3 megapixels

    cant really get any good sliding phone besides maybe a samsung d800/d808/d807(all same but from different country). That phoen is $200 US or less there isnt anymore sliding phone with camera that is that low price range of yours.

    ^ He could get a phone for under 200 dollars if he's willing to sign on a 1yea contractr, 2 year contract, and ECT

    thats what i always do...just get a plan...and u dont have to pay heaps at once...
    i dont like buying pre paid cards...it really sucks when u wanna call ppl but u cant cuz u dont have credits >_<
     
  13. ProjectD

    ProjectD VIP yay :]

    ^ lol most people go for 1 year, but now their making you go two years its really dumb
    stupid pre paid cards xD
     
  14. khaotic

    khaotic Fobulous

    yep. and if you're like me your cards run would run out pretty fast lol

    But try to avoid anything above a 2 year contract if possible. 3 years just seems such a long time for me. If you can get a good price for a 1 year contract then do it.

    I used to use pre paid when i was like 15 in holland...that was really really crappy...had to top up sooo often...
    So just told my mother to sign a contract and i'd pay the bill....

    I never sign plans longer than 1 year...i know me...i get bored with my phones after a few months >.<

    u700 is over 200..unlocked its more like 400 brand new in box...200 dollars wont get you a good camera and slide phone these days unless you want something that looks really bad..a used good slide phone with nice camera USED is already over 200
