My flip phone just broke in half and I need to get a new one tomorrow. Cingular is my carrier and I want to get one with a digital camera this time. Are the pictures downloadable to your PC, or do you have to email them? If I could take pics of listings and download to my PC with my cell phone, then I wouldn't have to lug my digital camera around.  I went to the Cingular site and it was like pulling teeth. All I want to see are the available cameras. Best Buy's site had a couple. I talked to "Skippy" at Circuit City today and he had no idea if you could download pictures straight to your PC or not from a phone.

Get one with bluetooth and buy a bluetooth dongle and you can or data cables, bluetooth is wireless (easier). Don't expect much out of a phone's camera. Look at the Sony Ericcson Z500, Motorola V551, and the Nokia 6230. I have a SE T637 and like it, but like I said, camera isn't even worth using most the time.

My t637 has bluetooth and with a new account I get money back on it. I think paying for it out right is under $150. You can find any non-smart phone/blackberry that works on Cingular for under $400.

Yeap, that too. I could do that except I don't want to pay money for an IR thing for the computer.
And wouldn't be able to use FMA without bluetooth.

Bluetooth dongle goes into a USB port, it's like $25. Or you can use IR, or you can buy a data cable. This is refering to SE T610/T630/T637s.

no, my laptop has an infared sensor built into the side. thats why i use IR instead of bluetooth.
