@SuperMuddiger Fair point. In other news: i own a nokia with no INternet, USB conection, BT or Irda :D I got fed up with so much technologie but i still deal with a lot of new phones at work, and Samsung wasn't even close to one of my most problematic smartphones. Up there there's the old HTC's and the new iPhones.

Motorola Brick. However a good one can fetch 2 grand.

If you can find a refurbished Samsung Alias 2 or Insight, that was the best phone I've ever had. No clue why they stopped making it. Had to upgrade to a smartphone for some school stuff I'm doing, and I love my smart phone. However, the Alias 2 is still a killer phone and I'm keeping mine as a back up.
