Email/Bluetooth a plus. I have a 250GB 7200rpm WD Caviar ATA HD up for trade. It's brand new, still in the wrapper. Cash works too, but not until next week.

Lemme know if you have anything.

I have a Motorola MPX200 which does do e-mail...dunno bout bluetooth...
Just unlocked it the other night. Don't know if I'd be willing to let it go forever (this is my Euro travel phone) but you can definitely try it out for a while (till you can get a good deal from Cingular on a new phone).
I also have my stop-gap phone which is a tiny (when I say tiny, think half the size of a deck of cards) Panasonic phone that we bought to text to the UK. This one is my wife's Euro travel phone, but we have no plans for now to get back.
Both work well. Let me know!

Tyler, I REALLY appreciate the offer, but I'm not sure I want to "use" a phone that isn't officially mine, I don't like the risk involved if it breaks or dies or otherwise fails while in my possesion.

If you really need a "temporary" phone I have an older MPX200 I used with AT&T but it would need to get unlocked. I think you can get it done pretty cheap. The outer screen has a crack in it but you can still read it. :D

Okay, I tentatively found one from Vortexer- brand new. So, I'm gonna roll with this and if doesn't pan out, then I'll hit you dudes up ;)

Hmmm...free or trade for one with bluetooth? Hell, I'll do both. I can't pick up the other one until next week- can I use it until then? See how I like Windows Mobile too.

Tyler,
I didn't realize you could unlock them yourself...sweet! Send me that site why don't ya? :) Just so you know, the MPX200 got some of the worst reception I've ever had in a phone. Then again, it was right when the whole GSM thing was catching on. I've got an MPX220 now and it seems to work a whole lot better than the old one.

The MPX200 is set up for Eurpean based GSM networks...they left out the common North American frequencies :crazy:

Thanks Tyler! I've been looking forward to having a spare phone. Maybe I'll take the old on on my vacation over Thanksgiving so it doesn't matter if I drop it in the ocean. :crazy:
