Phones

[ksmith]

You're getting a new cellphone. What features would you look for? Which features did you think you'd use that you wound up not using? Which features have proven more useful than you thought they would?

Long story short--I have to upgrade my phones. My current phones are a couple of old candy bars, a Nokia 8200? 8600? and an even older Ericsson. I think I could text with the Nokia if I wanted to, but I never felt the need. I pretty much just use them to make calls.

One of my accounts is an old AT&T Free2Go plan that I have to convert to a Cingular pay as I go plan. They offer a bottom of the line phone, which is likely all I need. But if there's something cool and useful to be had...?

I resisted getting a camera phone for a long time, but eventually I had no choice is I wanted (something, can't recall what it was now :) ) after all, I have real cameras!

Granted the resolution is weak, but there are times when it's handy to just grab your phone and snap a picture of a certain beagle exploring under the dashboard of the car, or the same beagle looking out the mirror in a hotel room trying to see where his mom went to!

Texting is also great, I can Text herself while I'm on the road and know that I didn't interupt her writing as much as a call would have.
