Naw, the old phone is phucked. Battery is hosed, camera is fried, USB won't work, bluethooth is caputt... and now it only makes a high pitched squealing noises if I try to turn it on. I did get a few more months out of it after the Great Washing, but it was never the same.

I think I will be going with the next generation phone in the same sequence. Sony-Ericsson W760. It uses the same software to sync (directly) with a pc and outlook as my old phone. With a two-year extension on my existing contract, I can get it for $30.

I ended up using phonescoop.com. They've got a lot of useful search parameters to find a phone that will work -- in this case, I needed to search for 'PC Sync'.

No email, no web surfing, Data plan turned OFF. :)

Awesome pic, Bruce! :thumb:

Good choice, Pie :) Was gonna suggest you stick with Sony if you like, they have a lot of good phones out with the functions you like.

I dislike Blackberrys A LOT, love my iphone but neither are what you are after.
