My girlfriend gets a new cellphone sometime soon. I turn to you folks to tell me what's what in the cell phone world, as mine is nigh on three years old now. So, here is what she'd like:

Color screen
No camera, no camcorder
Any brand other than LG.

OK, hit it.

I just got a Nokia. It was 50 bucks I think, with no plan. Free if you take a 2 year plan with Cingular.

I can't remember the phone model number, gimme a min...

edit: Nokia 6010.

What's wrong with LG?

I had an LG VX6000 for over a year. Not one problem the entire year.

Just recently sold the phone on ebay for 192 dollars. Not bad comparing with my 1 year contract I got the phone for 200 dollars.

8 dollar loss over a year!

She's on her 3rd LG phone. The model she has is absolute shit. Thus, she will not get an LG again.

Oh, and the plan is Verizon.

That's a tough one. All the half way decent Verizon phones have cameras. The other half are LG's!

I have the Motorola V710 and a Samsung i700. Love them both.

If she's willing to switch services, Nextel is a good choice. I've used it for about 3 and a half years now. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I have bell, don't get bell. Get Telus, they allways have the best signal strength. There are times when my cellphone (bell) has no signal, and my friend's cell phone(Telus) has full strength.

That could just be because of your location though, there could be a broadcaster for his network closer by.

My phone is through Verizon, and it's a Samsung SCH a650. No camera/video recorder, color screen, downloadable wallpapers+ringtones+games, etc.

Very decent phone, and fairly cheap, around $60.

Go with Samsung if you don't like LG and you're sticking with Verizon. I would recommend models, but I LG and only know that Samsung is supposed to have very nice models for Verizon..

Yea, I get that too sometimes...but it all depends on where your number is located. Bell is weird about lots of things

It depends on your location. I don't claim to be knowledgeable about cell phones, but it could just be Bell doesn't have a cell tower near where you live (but not far enough to enter roaming) while Telus does.

EDIT: I'm also looking at new phones via Alltel service. I like my flip phones, .. how is LG LX5550?

Motorola. My cell phone has been through hell and back. And, you can get a Motorola through just about any plan. Bam.
