    Question Cell phone recommendation

    I need a new cell phone (again). I like flip-phones or at least one that easily fits in your pocket. My employer pays for it and I can't get a smart phone.

    What do y'all think? If anyone has a decent phone for sale shoot me a PM.

    Why not a smart phone? Once you've had one you'll never go back.

    They won't pay for it (a data plan that is)....they won't even pay for texting.

    ^agreed. It's a curse really. I'm now forever chained to expensive data plans, rediculous new phone prices, and can barely survive in an out of network location without 24/7 access to google maps and internet.

    Consider yourself lucky you aren't getting a smart phone.

    I know I'd be the same way too. I'm chained to computers enough...I can live without one once in awhile.

    O.co has some good deals on unlocked phones. My wife and I got sick of the data plan thing and are ditching our smartphones/iphone. I bought her a pretty nice messaging phone (non-smart) for $50 on there that will work with our current sim cards, no contract, no activation fees.

    That is the next question CDMA or GSM? What carrier?

    I really liked the Sanyo's that I had on Sprint a few years back.
    Samsung also made decent phones.
    I did not have very good luck with the one slider LG I had.
    I was not impressed by the nokias made after the bullet proof 6160 models.
    Sony and Casio both put really good cameras out with a phone attached to them. Not sure how good the phones are.
