Consumers, Report!

I need a new cell phone, for reasons that I don't really feel like going into. Since most people are not as violently electronic leash-averse as I, I assume that a fair number of you know more about options and models than I do, and so I am turning to you for help.

The following features are mandatory:

-The ability to make and receive calls and text messages.

-Being a fold-able phone, Star Trek communicator-style. I hate those short phones that are all the raaage.

-Being AT&T compatible.

-Being reasonably sturdy (I'm not going to be dropping it on asphalt, but I keep my phone in a pocket or loose in my purse, sans holster, and this isn't likely to change any time soon).

The following features would be nice bonuses:

-Decent speakerphone.

-No built-in camera, or easy-to-disable built-in camera.

-Has no or as few features not listed above as possible.

-Comes in black or an equally unremarkable color.

-Costs less than $70 U.S.

capitalism, miscellany
