Hi,

Can you recommend me some cheap (under $150-$200) cell phone with modem and HTML Browser. I just want to connect to internet, to get the latest sat/rad.

Cheers,

Angel
 
I like the Razr V3. You can pick up one in that price range from ebay depending on the model and the condition. I just got a V3xx and love it, although that model is probably going to be a bit above that price range unless you sign a two year contract (which I know is out of the question for overseas folks). Anyway, I like the Razr much better than my Sony Ericsson z500. It seems that the Razr has far less compatibility issues, it doesn't lockup my machine, and it was easier finding drivers for it. These are some chaser orientated points that you might not find in more generic, online reviews. And as far as using the built in browser. The Razr's have a large, sharp screen and a full featured browser (from what I am used to seeing).
 
Check out the Nokia 6682. I've got it and love it. Big screen, you can run a native version of Opera (but it also comes with its own that's great), and it also runs Symbian which is a pretty open OS.
 
GSM and web browser

Hi Andrew and Stu,

My father gave me an idea - to run dial-up modem, which is connected to linux server, connected to internet, so I will be able to connect to internet with modem from gsm, as in the good old days, like BBS system, but with internet, I will be like ISP back in 1995. The other question is the gsm to have browser, the internet will cost not more than the price to talk (I will talk not with people, but with 010100011100011 to my dial up modem). Yep, 3G sounds better, but it will be more expensive.

:-)

Cheers,

Angel
