new phone!!!

[Brickboy240]

I would trade the camera feature on my phone for a phone with a waterproof case or maybe a metal case that is more shock proof. Its the flimsiness of most phones that makes me mad.

Yes...I'd trade durability over more gagetry! Make the da*m things more durable before adding more crap to it...ok?

All the cameras, MP3 players and internet capabilities are worthless if the thing bellies up in two seconds in the pouring rain.

+1!
If I want a camera, I'll bring my camera with me (I don't leave home without it anyway). If I want an mp3 player, I'll buy one. I just need my phone to make calls (however infrequently they may be) and stand up to some abuse even though it's not intentional. Heck, I had one phone that was left outside from November until March when I dropped it in a flower garden walking into work (slipped out of its holster when I got something out of my car). Dang thing is still working to this day.

I go look ing for a new phone and theres not one without a camera and many of the nicer ones have an MP3 player.

Excuse me, but I have a killer Canon digital camera that smokes any sh*tty camera on any phone. I also have a 60 gig video I-pod.

Why...oh why....would I be interested in the substandard camera or music that comes with these phones?

You phone dealers wanna impress a guy like me/ Make a phone that i can run over or soak and still be functional an I'll buy it. Otherwise, I don't care about features without durability.

Car wreck. Pull out cell phone. "Click". (I used to keep a disposable camera in my glove box for this.)

Crime in progress where you aren't personally threatened, such as a getaway car. "Click"

Out shopping and see something you are interested in and want to research it. "Click"

Out having fun with friends and nobody thought to bring a camera. "Click"

Don't have your camera handy and need to document something unusual/important/noteworthy. "Click"

Nextel has the most rugged phones hands down. The catch is their coverage sucks.

I agree with you... However, I've got the family plan with my parents $9.99 for my line, add in the $20 for unlimited internet/200 texts and for $30, I'm good to go.
