My phone is starting to show and act its age.
I want the largest possible screen, numbers, and buttons.  There
don't seem to be any/many "candy bar" phones available with the
newer features.

At the T-mobile site for the same amount of money, I can upgrade
to either of these phones:

Nokia 6103
Motorola Razr

I do not text message.
I may take some pictures, though I have not in the past.
If I do take pictures, I would like to get them to a computer
easily.
I don't know how to Bluetooth, but who knows?

I have the RAZR  and like it. Good sized screen (for a phone).

If you get it from T-Mobile, it would be set up to email pix ...an easy
to way to get pix to a computer. If you buy an unlocked phone (say from
eBay), the T-MOBILE web site has a screen that will send the setup
commands to your phone so it can do the pix, email, etc.

I use Bluetooth to interact with my car NAV/telephone system. It works
great. You don't need BT unless you have that in your car or want to
use a Bluetooth wireless headset.

I bought my wife a Samsung t509.  It is a great phone for the money ($59
after rebate).  Very stylish (like an I-POD Nano).

I just got a Motorola V195... upgraded from a 5+ year old timeport 260.

I could not have a camera, as my employer won't let me on the property with
a camera phone.

It is a quad band, "flip style" phone. It has all I want, but the screen
appears small if you like accessing the web a lot (another thing I don't
find myself doing a lot).

I guess I'm a boring cell phone user. I like it....

$39 + 2 year committment. I like T-Mobile, so the 2 years didn't matter to
me. Been with them since "Voicestream".

I will second the Samsung T509.  Bluetooth is very easy.  You must first buy
a Bluetooth adapter for your computer (this allows your phone and computer
to communicate).  Samsung has excellent free software on their website.
With it you can do many things  such as transferring pictures to and from
your phone and computer - same with ringtones - you can even try out
T-Mobile internet for $29.99/mo (pro-rated) and use the phone as a modem
with Edge (faster than dialup) - great when you are traveling with a laptop
and need computer access - it allows for wifi hotspot access too.  Even tho
the phone is candybar style it is very light.  The price is right too for a
2 year contract renewal.  Good Luck!  DonnaB
