The E820 is a pretty decent phone. I'd like to get one of the new PDA's with
mobile 5.0, but don't have the need to get my e-mail from anywhere at
anytime, at least not at the price wireless broadband is going for. Still, a
smart phone...

I don't need a PDA - just want a nice color flip phone with a second
screen on the outside so I can see who is calling me, a phone that
doesn't drop calls and lasts more than three months.

Sorry, the marketing strategy is to make the low end so cheap and
uncomfortable that you must buy more phone and services than you need
to have anything that approaches useful.
