Need advice, choosing new Phone, refurb vs new, have AT&T service, brain scrambled, so many choices..help???

Sadly I must bid adieu to my Nokia 6800, taking Y A advice and getting a different phone.

The Most important things for me are..QWERTY a MUST, Camera with some video be very nice the more zoom and quality pics a plus, Speaker phone, hands free type whatever a must, internet, msg, txt, need to be very simple to figure out and use, the easier the better...the more storage the better, phone size not a priority, Music and special effects not important, walkie talkie NOT needed, The specs all have stuff I have never heard of....I have looked at Palm Treo 680, Palm 750, Pantec Dou, Moto Q Global, Blackjack ll, Blackbery Curve 8310 and several other BB''s, the all are within my price range, some are new some refurb...need some input , I will be using this for my only phone, back up computer, secondary camera, most of the time it will be personal use only , organizing, reminding when to do what and getting pics when Hiking or cycling, keeping in touch while traveling and some reasearch

Update:

So far no one has any input on whether refurbished phones are safe to go with or if I should stick to just the new phones,.....???

Also service plan is in USA. Thank you

    Go with a palm, they are so much user friendly and all around easier to use than blackberry. Moto Q is trash. Not sure about the others though.

    Source(s): I work in the industry, but not for ATT.

    Try getting a Sidekick 3 or Sidekick iD or sidekick SLIDE.

    These are great phones,

    All have qwerty keyboards

    Sidekick iD does not have a camera or bluetooth, but dows have HTML web browsing and SMS messaging. it is a cheaper alternative.

    The Sidekick 3 and Sidekick SLIDE are really user friendly and have many features, the SLIDE operates on a 3G network (Giving fast Internet) but can not send or secieve VideoCalls.

    The sidekick 3 operates on the GSM Standard network. it is good too. All of these phones are available from T-Mobile. or Telstra if you live in australia. If Palm's are within your pricerange then so are these phones. They have a big screen, Mp3 Players and removable storage.

    If you want you can get then with All you can Eat data plans.

    I would definetly recommend this.

    enable me allow you to recognize i could cancel this mess and circulate to sprint. the explanation why is Att nicely they have cheated on the telephone expenses so long and we've been with them for years and eyars. yet you hve to visual exhibit unit the telephone expenses yep, they upload stuff and it s called slamming. and in case you pay great in case you do no longer they take it off its no longer your stuff the two. nicely we've had them take 50 money off just about alot of situations which we've fairly been gazing so we went to time warner. its alot greater low-priced and you get unfastened long distance. i mean the cellular telephones i understand the sprint can circulate everywhere interior the U. S. and that's stable and circulate reception and that they supply you telephones and stuff it plenty better take care.
