Cell Phone Features

I'm getting a cell phone today, so I'm writing today about cell phones and their features.

Now, I understand, some parents are fond of all the features, but I like a lot of them...

Camera with flash
SMS/Texting
Full size keyboard
Not so cluttered menus
Good memory
Video capture support
Internet
Touch Screen

So, examples of a good phone? This one, and this one. Bad phones? This one and this one.

Why? Well, let's see.

So, the goods are that they're all touch screen. I've seen the interface on those, and they are amazing. Plus, camera? Check. Keyboard? Check. Internet? Check.

The bad ones? Look at the first one's screen. It's not touch, and the menu stretches throughout the whole page, making it look extremely awkward. As for the second one, it tries to fit a full size keyboard on a regular size phone. BIG no-no. I'm not a big fan of frontal keyboards.

(Don't even get me started on the Jitterbug...)

The other thing that freaks me out is the price. I know a lot of you guys that have the LG Rumor. If you didn't pay for service (which means you pay full price) the cost is $160.

EDIT: Just letting you know I got my phone. It's a Samsung Blackjack II smartphone. It was only $30, and is the same as my Dad's.
