Thinking Of A New Phone

I'm currently using an Audiovox CDM-8200. I've had no problems with it but it might be nice to upgrade. Besides X-mas is around the corner so maybe I can score a good deal.

It has to be a Bell Mobility cell phone, you guys have an reccomendations?

Only buy Nokia products unless you want useless features like cameras and bluetooth.

Bell has some new Nokia phone, that looks fairly nice. I saw it at my local Bell World store. I think that the model is 3xxx. The only thing I don't like about it is it's size... I think that it's rather big for phones today otherwise looks like a nice phone.

yea i have been thru alot of fones current fone now ngage..

if you plan to stick to bell your choice is kinda limited. If you plan to go gsm and if you do trust me on this and go with fido. Your reception will be really good works even in my basement unlike rogers. Anyways, if you choose to go gsm there is a whole bunch of phones out there, ranging from $50 to $1000, of course it all depends on what you want.

If you want more info u can pm me or check our howardforums

audiovox cdm 8600 has color screen , i have the 8500 and it alright , i like it , the only thing it lacks is a loud ringer and a color screen, test the volume of the cdm8600 and if it loud, i think its the best bang for your buck with bell IMO

I had Fido and it blew ***. Pricey too.

I changed to Bell and get a discount cause the phone is under my Dad's business.

what happens to be your dads business? maybe they are with rogers too.....well it doesnt really matter im just sayin gsm just has alot of variety of fones,


anyways if you stay with bell i would say go with samsung, they are one of the best phone producers out there, great fone!
as for kyrocera they are pretty good as well, not bad, and they runn pretty cheap for used one $60-80 for the flip one forget the model..

Sorry man, not looking to buy right now.
The Samsung a600 is nice but I don't want to spend $500+ on a phone.

On the Bell site I've looked at the Audiovox CDM-8450 and CDM-8600.
Also the Samsung SPH-n400.

What you guys think of these phones?
