Hello all, I have never had a cell phone before, but am looking to buy one. It doesnt need to have bluetooth or anything like that, but I would like to be able to hook it up to my pc and put midi files on it to use as ring tones. I would like something small, but at a good price. The display wouldn t have to be color, but would be nice. Do any of you no of any good cell's out there that might be sutable for me? Thanks.

You don't have a mobile phone :shocked!: ?! Have you been living under a rock? :mrgreen:

Seriously though, try www.letstalk.com, it's a nifty site and It'll show you all the phones from all the major providers in your area and you can compare plans and phones. I would go with a Nokia phone, they're so easy to use and have a "Composer" application to make your own ringtones.

Every company has at least one good cell phone. It is a matter of you purchasing the one you like. Nokia has the new Ngage phone and it is sweet, it should meet your needs but it is 299.99 :cry:
A good idea would be for you to go to the website of every the major cellphone companies and see what you like, then take it from there.

ok, the nokia 3650 looks like a cool phone, but can it hook up to a computer and be able to store info (midi)? that is really what i am looking for, a nice cell phone that can hook to a pc and be able to store stuff.

I haven't heard of any that can do that other then PPC Phones, but I haven't really been looking either so I could be wrong :)

Yes, you can store a lot of things on a Nokia 3650. There are a lot of programs for it. Shopping Lists, MP3 players, Agenda programs, you name it. You can transfer stuff to it via IR or Bluetooth too and pass them back (like the pictures you take).

This phone has a 16MB MMC card. If you buy a larger one you can take a lot of mp3 with you. Be on the lookout for the 3660 wich is identical despite the keyboard, wich is regular shaped instead or circular.
