    Sorry, I don't know anything about T-Mobile's phones. I think they have the Sidekick which seems to be doing well. You could do some research on GSM phones and see what you like. Any GSM phone would be able to be unlocked and activated to T-Mobile's service.

    I'd look at T-Mobile. They have great prices, and good phones. The thing that sucks about T-Mobile is their coverage. It's awful. When it works, it works really, really well, but if it doesn't work...it doesn't work.
    I just want to add to your comments about AT&T...

    SBC (that owns Cingular) bought out AT&T Wireless. Later AT&T bought out SBC. So soon, we will see AT&T Wireless again.

    Yeah, steer clear of Verizon if you want full bluetooth capabilities. I suggested T-Mobile earlier. Check them out and see how well they work in your area.

    Right on, thank you. Yeah, everyone in my family has the razr from Verizon, and they were all pretty pissed when they found out that Verizon has crippled all the bluetooth capabilities. And thats one thing that I REALLY want in a new phone, is fully activated bluetooth.

    Spum-You have the Motorola e815, which is what Ironwalt recommended. What do you think of the phone?

    Currently I have AT&T prepaid(GSM), but since Cingular bought them out, they have decided to do away with all "AT&T" service at the end of September. So, I have the option of getting a Cingular Go-Phone, and basically continuing my existing service with some lame changes in prices, or saying screw it and trying to find something new all together. I'm leaning much more towards getting something new.

    *Flashlight (would never use)

    *Gotta have Bluetooth (and not Bluetooth like Verizon)
    *Camera/Video
    *Memory Card Slot
    *SMS/MMS capable
    *Big Screen (@least 176x220) preferred
    *Speakerphone/Pic Caller ID
    *Will allow animations as wallpaper
    *MP3 player would be nice but not vital
    *Totally customizable.... tones, themes, skins, icons, everything
    *Internal Antenna
    *Unlocked
    *Call Screening Capability
    *Compatible with LOTS of games

    The things I don't have any preference about:
    *Style (Flip, Candybar, Slider, etc)
    *Manufacturer
    *CDMA or GSM
    *Voice dialing (wouldn't use much)
    *Flashlight (would never use)

    Am I asking for way too much all in one phone?
