Country/Provider: Sacramento, CA

Current contract status: T-mobile family plan; 2 year expired

Budget (phone/plan): Less than $200

Features I know I want:

-Slim (i.e not a brick in my pocket) - By far the most important
-Strong battery life
-Something that will last me a while

Features I don't really care about:

-Internet browsing
-Email
-Music device


I've gone through 3 phones in my lifetime and all of them have been super old flip phones that were free (my current phone is the Motorola V180). Now, the V180 is a brick in my pocket and it probably came from the Jurassic period, but I love the battery life and simplicity of the thing.

So naturally, I'm looking for a newer phone. I love the iPhone, but I don't plan on switching the AT&T and paying for my own plan when I can just stay on the family plan and just have my parents pay (cheap college student here). I really was into the G1, but now I'm on the fence about it due to its size. I also like the Samsung behold and the Motorola ZN5.

I usually have my laptop and my iPod with me, so music and internet browsing aren't too important for me. However, I can definitely see the advantages to having a phone with a good browser, I just don't plan on using it often. Basically I just want a nice new phone that will last me a few years down the road.
