Dell has a great deal on the Vostro 1000 right now I think its $399. Its a special for small business owners though, but you do any sort of "business" out of your home or anything then you are eligible. My parents have one and love it
I too am in need of new cell phone. I've went through 2 of the newest Ericsson's and one of the Nokia 6555's in the past 5 months. UGH!!! Now I am using a junky "go phone" phone...o well.
