Thanks everyone. Some things I've noticed- the prices can not really be straight converted from $ to rands (the local currency), also, some phones in the US that are cheaper are more expensive here etc. Also, I think cells phone have different roles in the U.S. and here, and our people want different things from yours. But the sites really were very helpful, so thanks a lot!
So I will probably choose one of the following:
Nokia- 6100, 3560, 6800, 7250
Motorola- Razr V3r(quite ubiquitous
), Slvr L7e
BlackBerry- 7130c , Pearl(not certain of availability of BlackBerry's...)
Samsung- SCH-A990
Sony Ericsson- K750i
I don't really know actually. I have to check out some shops and see what they have. Basically what it should have is a colour screen, the ability to store at least 1hr of music (which can be installed from a computer, web capabilities and a camera, but the last two are optional. I'll just check out some stores in town
Thanks again every one.
