So I'm thinking about joining the 21st century and getting a cellphone. My only stipulations are I do not want an open-faced phone and I'd like to keep it below $400.
I'd remain a cave man but since I'm going to be at GDC and E3 I'll need something to communicate with other people while I'm there. Any recs?

Open-faced phone?

Anyway, I'm very happy with mine:


Samsung D500 Features at a glance:

* Dimensions: 94 x 46 x 24 mm
* Weight: 99g
* Talk time: up to 6.5 hours
* Standby time: up to 300 hours
* Camera: 1.3 MP, 1280x1024 pixels, video, flash
* 256K colour TFT display
* Bluetooth
* 96 MB shared memory for photos
* MP3, MP4 and AAC player
* Tri-band: GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900

Well if you're going to spend that much on a phone, you could get one with a contract.
Basically they give you a phone for cheap, and you sign a two year contract.

Yeah I know. Problem being that I don't know how long I'm going to be here for.

In the US, razr's are usually free with a plan and they're fun to fuck around with

Get some walkietalkies dude.

You could stand in a corner observing the area, and when you want to contact your friends you casually whip out your device and snag the antenna with your teeth and go like: 'This is black goose, the package has arrived' or something similar, and it'll look supercool.

You should read this book before you buy that cell phone *lol*

Go for the V3x if anything. (2 megapixels).



Here's mine, Sony Ericson k750i I paid around £140. It also has the 2mp camera and built in memory card slot (sony memory stick duo) so you can stick more mp3s and whatever on it to listen to.

Quick pic I took on the camera, outside my house:


Pretty good saying it was dark too.

that or the w800i would be my pick, yes sir.

Argh, first post "I do not want an open-faced phone."

MY pick. MINE.

PICK FOR ME!!!!

Samsung D600 and Sony W800i are the best cell phones right now.

If you don't mind carrying a brick around, you could also look at the W900i. It makes a cool sound when you open it and has 470 MB integrated memory plus Memory stick.
So it's even better than the first two I mentioned, but it really is huge.

I've had the Samsung d500 for the last year, and in March i'll be upgrading my contract to the D600. only thing i dont like about it so far is it IS a bit naff looking compared to the D500 But it has a lot more feature wise and a lot of the bullshit stuff has been fixed up (Stupid obvious shit like not being able to have custom message tones).

noone cares about your criteria Jackal, they just want to talk about their phones.

I'm surprised Doombrain hasn't posted any pictures of his phone yet

Well apart from the w800 the phones I suggested do meet his criteria.

pretty similar looking in size, really.

w800i which has a lower built-in storage capacitiy (256mb i think) but an included 512mb pro and support up to 2Gig .

Yes it's a lot bigger. I've had it in my hand.

Worst thing is that it's so thick.
