This won't help you (unless you happen to be a fed. employee), but it might help others.. I just received an e-mail from my work in Texas about a discount for every federal employee (civilian and military). The discount is a part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the amount depends on your carrier. Mine is Sprint, so I get 15% off and I know Cingular is 19% off. The company won't tell you about it, but if you bring it up to them then they'll do it. If anybody else wants to know another carrier's discount I can tell them.
Sorry I can't help you on the phone, I have a Samsung flip phone that's nothing special, but works fine for me..

I was thinking about this last night and started to worry it might be a scam, so I Googled it this morning and it's not exactly correct. They will offer discounts to military and from what I read they offer discounts to quite a few employees of large corporations and various other groups, however there is no law saying they have to. So, I think it would be best to ask if they offer any discounts for whatever your situation is (where you work and live, your age, sex, religious and political stance and anything else that might get you a discount.. )

I'd go with the first one for myself. But I am far from a cell phone expert. I just like the 262K screen, triband and I HATE push to talk so I'm glad it doesn't have that capability.

My second choice would be the third one.

I made some a major change to my original post. I should've looked it up before trusting an e-mail from someone.. Sorry about that, although now it might help more people.

Personally I like better the Samsung but 6260 looks pretty good to.
If you are looking for a nice samsung you might try D500 to.

#3 is like $250, unlocked and no contract, since i dont need one, i will be traveling to different countries every month. Its a bit more that I want to spend, I was hoping for $200, but this should be fine.

I could get the Nokia 7270 for the exact same price as the samsung #3...

if you like the K700i you should try the K750i, its the new version. k750i has been out for a few months in the uk now and i love the 2mp camera. do a google on it to see if you have it in america, but im sure they will have it singaporre.

oh and it has a card slot so upgrading the memory is easy.
