Well obviously if your signing a contract it will be much cheaper.. if your buying it on the side I would think its a bit more expensive.

Also if you sign a contract, get a phone that sells well (ie: iphone) resell it, make a quick 300$ or so.. then you have 600$ to spend on a nice phone..

AT&T wireless customer in america

used or new works for me

Are you cool w/ getting a "popular phone?" .. something that everyone else has or do you want something a little different?
not picky

Do you want to get it from your provider? or on the side such as ebay/craigs
was thinking ebay / craigslist

Do you want a QWERTY keyboard? touch Screen?
no preference

and finally.. whats your budget

I have not been able to find a cell phone that meets my specific needs / wants.

I want to be able to run TomTom on it, gps built in would be nice, but a bluetooth add on might work.

WiFi is the bomb, I am around wireless at home and work, I would like to use it.

My work won't pay for data contracts at all, so I would prefer if the phone let me shutoff the 3G and other junk, and still use wifi.

VOIP would be nice, I have an extra line I am not using, would be nice to attach that number to my cell phone.

Lastly to play MP3's would be cool, video ? not sure, that might be neat.

Any suggestions ? The BlackBerry 8820 is the closest I have found so far, am still researching it.

THANK YOU so much for any insight you can provide me
