Need a cellphone recommendation.

So my cheap phone broke the other day and I'm wanting to get something in particular and, of course, looking to spend as little dough as possible

In a nutshell, I'd like to find a phone:

-That works with Cingular
-That has a camera
-And most importantly, is BlueTooth ready.
-Nokia preferred but Motorola, Ericson, etc. is ok.

The only catch is that I'd like to keep spending under $150 if possible, which is hard since I already have a contract and don't have any insurance/upgrades. I'm willing to buy used/new off Ebay or Craigslist, I'm just having trouble doing research to find a cheap phone that fits my needs since Cingular stores carry such limited supplies and the Nokia website, for example, is somewhat limited with it's information seeing that I'm price-conscious here.

So can anyone recommend me some phones to look at that meet these specs? I appreciate any info guys

Thanks

Sony Ericsson Z520A. It's a great phone with excellent reception and battery life, plus camera and bluetooth. Built in media player doesn't hurt - though it's not a true mp3 player, like some others.

Motorola v557 - camera, bluetooth, and a Motorola... or...

If you want to save money, a v551. Exactly the same phone with slightly older software (hence a dropped call here or there, though not many), and no "live ticker." So... who cares? These can be had relatively cheap these days off of ebay, even new.

Those are the three that come to mind. I sell more v557s and Z520As than anything else. If you have any questions about them, let me know. (Probably in a PM, because I have a tendency to forget which threads I post in )


Edit: Forgot to mention: there aren't a lot of inexpensive Nokias that have the features you're looking for. Generally the higher end ones (read: >$400) have bluetooth, but they are also PDAs or have integrated keyboards, which is what makes them more expensive. The lower end ones don't usually.

Hey MooseMan. Thanks a ton for the info on the phones. I stopped by BestBuy and Cingular today and unfortunately those phones are well into the $200-$300 region which is quite above what I'm trying to spend.

I think I'm going to slow down and spend some time on Craigslist and Ebay to find something good for a little chaper. A Slvr L7 just sold for $200 locally on Craigslist, I wish I was quicker!

Also, any idea how much a non-service contracted v551 should sell for. And do you know if the Slvr's microphone sounds muffled to the receiver like the Razr tends to?
