Im looking for a new flip phone to replace my current.  I want to go
smartphone, but I'm not sure which one.  I need a flip model between
$100 - $300.  I like the Motorola MPx220 or 200.  The 220 has better
features, but an uglier (not really internal) antenna.  I also read
reviews that say the speakerphone can't be operated with the clam
closed (dumb) and it sends feedback into the mic.  Not cool.  Is the
MPx300 really $1200?  Also not cool.

I'd like to have a good speakerphone like I have now, but I dont drive
much anymore so it's not so important.  I like this line of small
smartphones from motorola.  Thing is, I can't find the 220 in a
cingular store to play with.  I hate buying blind, I have to touch it
first.

Does anyone know a good clamshell smartphone out (or about to come out
... I dont mind waiting) that would serve my purposes of:
1-syncing outlook mail/calendar/contacts
2-web browsing / queries / city maps
3-removable memory (pref SD, not more $$$ miniSD)
4-audio player (w/ standard 1/8" stereo headphone jack / headset combo)
5-phone
6-TETRIS!!

Plus, I hardly use my 350 minutes now.  Is there a cheaper plan for
cingular around $30 like verizon and sprint have?  Of course, I would
pay extra for mobile web.  

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
