[BTM] Phone replacement

[Christian Dupuis]

My Sony Ericsson T616 is showing serious signs of wear and tear, and  
I've had it for two years so I can probably change models without  
paying an arm and a leg to my cell service provider. It's been great,  
working flawlessly with Salling Clicker and iSync, so I would like to  
get something a little more recent to replace it.

On the plus side, it was really cool to use the T616 for controlling  
iTunes, Keynote et al. via its built-in nav buttons, but I had two  
peeves with the thing, specifically how easy it was to screw things  
up if you didn't lock the keys before putting it in your pockets and,  
second, how flimsy the keys became with use (the 1 and 8 numkey  
switches are too sensitive now). Therefore, I'd like to replace it  
with a clamshell. if at all possible. I don't really need built-in  
camera support (I seldom, if ever, used the Sony's due to the lame  
image quality and high noise content).

Any recommendations much appreciated.
