I've heard that putting one of these Sony Ericssons through the wash renders it useless.

However, in case you were wondering, it survives getting run over by a car just fine.

Nevertheless, I'm hoping to replace my phone over winter break. The requirements are the following:

• It's got to work with Cingular (I'm keeping my plan).


• It should have bluetooth so I can continue to use it with my laptop.


• High-quality picture-taking ability would be nice, since I never have my digital camera when I need it.


• I'm thinking flip phone.

Ideas?
