Nokia 6230. Quite possibly the most under-rated phone in the Cingular lineup. Typical bland Nokia candy bar design, but it has:
- Camera / Video
- EDGE data capable
- Bluetooth, Infrared
- FM radio
- MP3 player
- MMC card (I upgraded it to 1GB)
If Nokia had just packaged it in a sexier case, it would have sold much better. Nevertheless, it's my daily multipurpose workhorse. Bluetooth allows it to connect with my TomTom GPS and serve as its modem. When I go out for a jog, I hook up the headphones and use the FM radio or MP3 player.
THe form factor is something I both love and hate. On the one hand, it's small enough that it fits in my running pants and doesn't weigh it down. On the other hand, I actually prefer a larger design when I'm using it for a call. (In that respect, my favorite phone was my old Nokia 6800, which was large enough to fit in my hand comfortably during calls, AND it flipped open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard -- great for text messaging.)
I've been tempted by other brands, and flip-phones, but I always end up coming back to the Nokias. Like others have said, they are bulletproof. The user interface is no-nonsense. I like -- no, LOVE -- the fact that you can store so much information (not just phone numbers, but mailing addresses and email addresses) in each address book entry. (It absolutely BOGGLES me that a phone as supposedly advanced as the Motorola RAZR continues to use a seperate address book entry for every phone number. This alone was the biggest reason why I did not buy one.)
Oh, and their PC connectivity software (which is quite good) is a free download. Whereas others (e.g. Motorola) charge you for theirs.
No one else is even close, in my book.

nokia 2128i
Just ordered 2128i myself! Yes the main feature that drew me in was the l.e.d. light, and the speakerphone. Other than that Ive never had a problem with any other Nokia phone.
The only negative reviews Ive come across were due to the fact that you cant download ringtones or change faceplates easily!?
Dont really care about those things so....Im looking forward to getting mine in a couple days!

I'm not sure if that is a subscription page, here is the Cliff Notes:
RIM to Pay NTP $612.5 Million
To Settle BlackBerry Patent Suit
Research In Motion Ltd., on the brink of a possible court-ordered shutdown of its widely used BlackBerry wireless email device, agreed to pay $612.5 million to settle its long-running legal battle with NTP Inc.
The settlement, announced after markets closed on Friday, ended all court proceedings in the nearly five-year legal battle that saw a tiny patent-holding firm take on one of technology's hottest companies and threaten to disrupt service to BlackBerry users in the U.S.
