just purchased my "next cell phone"

Member since:

Sony/Ericson S710A...not sure if that falls into the "mid" or "high end" category.

pros:
1) tri-band(should work in Europe)
2) bluetooth(setting the phone up to remote control my mac was easier than pairing with a bluetooth headset, who knew?!)
3) has every feature I ever wanted from a phone.
4) uses memory stick for storage...capacity up to 128MB

cons:
1) worst camera ever...seriously, why did they even put this in the phone?

I figure by the time this phone has outlived its usefulness or broken, there will be much better phones/appliances out there
