Here's some options you may want to consider: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of wireless earpiece (bluetooth)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of taking pictures (some public buildings don't allow phones with cameras in them in the building)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of surfing the mini-internet available for phones (this will also cost you extra money every month)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of sending text messages (another monthly expense)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If the latter, are you interested in the phone helping you type the messages by suggesting words as you type (called T9)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of sending picture messages (another monthly expense)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of playing mp3s?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of downloading mp3s (this is usually a pretty lame system, and it's expensive, but some people buy it, so there must be some appeal - sometimes another monthly billed item)?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capable of retrieving email?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Type of phone (clamshell, open keyboard, qwerty keyboard)?</li> </ul>I would think about these and put a dollar amount next to each item. Then go to the store and check out which phone is their base model, and ask about the features you're interested most in. If you want actual suggestions for phone models, try <a href="http://www.letstalk.com/" target="_blank">http://www.letstalk.com/</a>I agree that the quality of service you get at home is the most important consideration in choosing a provider. Can you take a couple of friends (with different services) to the place (or near it, the nearer the better, these things can vary dramatically), and see how their reception is?</blockquote>
