The Wholesale Forums

[jawzishere]

I've noticed that a few people on these forums make their money selling cell phones so I'm assuming they know a lot about them.

I'm looking for a good looking phone that can play MP3's really well (so I don't have to get an Ipod too), play/record Videos, and take pictures. Blue tooth enabled may come in handy too but isn't that big of a priority.

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I should get?

I was thinking about the new Media Razor phone which I could get for $70 with a mail in rebate and also Boost or Amp'd mobile. I'm open to all suggestions though.

Also if you can offer a better than retail deal on a single cell phone I may be interested in buying from you, I live in the US.

I heard the picture quality wasnt great on the razr phone i recomend the nokia n series such as the n70, n90 and n93. The n70 does everything and the price will be coming down, for a cheaper solution try the nokia 6680

nokia n70 is dam good, i will be one of the first to buy the n73,

but if your really desperate, nokia or sony ericsson are the 2 best multifunctional phone makers

Sony Ericssons are probably the best multifunction phone. But, I have a bias against Nokia.

in my view the nokia smartphones are the best for multimedia because the symbian series 60 allows for extra software for all sorts of uses

I currently have a SE k750i for sale, which I really hated as the speaker volume was terribly low. Since I downloaded a driver update it is really awesome.

Great phone. However, I am going to sell it as my contract is almost at its end.

I'd say SE or Nokia

good point, series 60 operating software is the best available, a phone with it has a lot more oppertunities with the stuff u put on it, u can apply free profession programs to the phone to advance its capabilities, my n70 has these programs on it:

world clock
sat nav
cocktail maker instructions (u type the ingriedients and it tells u what u can make)
around 500 games
calculator
multifunctional converter eg pounds -> dollars
wireless remote (on my nokia 6270)
etc

dont think this is possible with sony ericsson phones apart from the p9 series, but im not sure so if poss someone update me lol

ye theres plenty of websites to get the free software from i recommenf profiexplorer because it allows you to send anything you want by bluetooth. You can even try your hand at blooover which allows you to steal files from phones if it works

Thanks for all your responses. I didn't think Nokia was so good. But it's obvious I didn't clarify myself enough.

1. I don't want to spend more than $200

2. I'd like a flip phone

The N71 sounds awesome but the cheapest price I found was like $400 bucks which is way over my price range.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best quality phone under $200?

I mean even if the Razor phone doesn't have that great a quality, $70 is pretty cheap.

So I'm looking to get the most phone for under $200 as per the 2 restrictions noted above and the restrictions in my first post.

Thanks for the help.

Also if you know of any ways to get good deals and discounts on cell phones like for example when you're buying a plan from a company I'm sure they'd be happy to reduce the cost of a phone so they can sell you on the plan, please PM me.
