My dads off to Europe for work for a while & he'll be grabbing me a new cell, since my blueberry broke & doesn't charge. The phones there are cheap compared to what I've paid, so the price doesn't matter much. He won't have time to contempate between which phone is better than another. So if you have ANY suggestions, post up. Most cells now have a cam/video, so whatever.. but music space would be chill. What you use, what you like, what you'd want, etc.. Definately appreciated. Thanks.

No no,.. I'm in Canada.
I have a blueberry thing my dad got me from Bejing.

All I need is an Unlocked phone, handheld, whatever.. with a SIM card.
I just don't really know cellular devices.. So that's where you guys come in. If you can.

you could get like a sidekick.. they have SIMs and are unlockable. Umm my blackberry has one, RAZR's can etc, alot of phones can use cell phones, but they are still international phones that might be hard to bring back to canada or wherever.

There are the top three "cell-phone" shops here in the UK, have a look. Most of the phones you can buy sim-free, but make sure you buy a tri-band or a quad-band phone so it works in the US.

A. the wall chargers wont be the same because wall chargers in the UK =/= wall chargers in the US/ Canada
B.  the phone probably wont fare well in luggage, and it might cause problems in customs
C. IPHONE!!!!!!!
