So I had a Sony-Ericksson W580i phone. It was pretty cool. I could sync it to outlook (and google) to keep my appointments and contacts up to date. It had a camera and mp3 playback functionality.

I washed it.

So I had to switch to my old clunky Samsung. It's a workhorse with a long battery life, but it's huge in my pocket and doesn't sync with nada.

Now I can get a new phone. What should I get? I don't want mobile web/email/'killer apps'. I need basic call functionality, basic texting, maybe mp3 playback, maybe a smallish camera. And I NEED to be able to sync it with my existing calendar and phonebook on my pc. Good battery life and small form-factor would also be appreciated.

Any suggestions?

ETA, I'm with AT&T. If I wait another 6 moths, I'll be a free agent. But right now, my husband and I are paying $45/mo for both our phones (only 250 minutes shared, but we never go over anyways.)
