It's that time of year again - need new cell phone

Recomendations?

Need one that is best suited for texting and has a nice bright screen. I don't care about music and all that crap.

I saw HTCs at my carrier's store and was like, 'WTF are these things?' I thought they were cheap ass or something.

I'm stuck with this stupid motherfucking provider.

Ok.

We really have limited choice in this country. It's sad and I fucking hate the way it's a monopoly here in terms of providers.

Can you not ask for a rebate? Most suppliers will give that as a credit on your bill. You then purchase what you really want with the dough from E-bay or your friendly trade supplier batting eyes

Don't complain, we pay $500+ for an Apple iPhone here because phones can't be sold together with contracts mad

That HTC Diamond cost 450 euros here. disbelief

I'm really hard on phones...the last few have been washed, crushed, one was dropped into a bucket of paint...so, it doesn't make much sense for me to get a pricey/gadgety phone...I've gone back to the ol' standyby Motorola Razr...

I actually went back to a really cheap Nokia, but I don't like it as much as the first one I had with the gray screen.
