Describe your dream cellphone criteria

That's it.

Everything else is Camera/Laptop/PC stuff.

Actually that's the phone I like too. Except I'd like the phone to be able to connect to my PC through USB to transfer pictures I may have taken.

But I have an obsession about battery endurance for the same reason why I like the Flanker. I hate to think that my act of simply charging and discharging(using) the cellphone would diminish the battery capacity over time though the theoretical cycle is about 500(to 20% degradation) though empirical estimation is much lower than that I believe. And at some moments you just don't have enough time to charge it fully or to wait for it to really deplete before recharging...hence degrading the battery even further.

I have to admit though that after a time when everybody else is going 3G I feel a bit behind time though not necessarily behind style to still be using a basic cellphone LOL. The masses have that effect to you. Called social conformity. It ruins personal identity LOL. So been thinking should I take the plunge and see perhaps it would be fun. But those Black Berry like cellphones are awful it looks more like a calculator than a cellphone, over sized and not comfortable to be kept in your pants pocket. A hassle.

What I got now is nokias N95.
Bought it when it came to market because of the 5Mpix cam.

Camera works ok except the lens nowadays is from some periscope mod,
and im not talkin' bout clearscopes.

It sucks ass, especially if im a bit whoopsiedaizy
and trying to call a cab 4 am. What a mess to use.

The Nokia-software blows even more.

I dunno if the other brands are any better but im going for
a simple model that costs max 50€ .
Im interested in Samsung line but I need to see it (software) in action first.

I need to be able to make backup of my
address book / numbers and that is all.
I don't need a camera but they hardly make one without it these days.
I found out i don't use the cam so often anyways.

Only calls/txt and no freakin internet what-so-ever, thats for laptops and the likes. No mp3's, no GPS, no RAdio, no bloat thank you.

Phone + Internet = Epic Fail ---> IMHO


That is all.

Poor battery, no camera no usb port . . . .still too expensive for what I'm getting. Can get a very decent Nokia for 30 bucks which is imo a much better choice. I don't need the internet but since I've got a cute little niece I can't help taking pictures and when I'm traveling out of town...the scenery is just tempting to be shot. I don't use the camera for social occasions.
