Default Cell phone recommendations

Renewing my contract in a couple weeks with AT&T, any suggestions on cell phones? I don't want a phone where I have to pay for an internet package (I-phone, not sure about lg vue). I would like something that has a memory chip where I can store songs, and listen to them through earbuds (don't have an I-pod), preferably a regular headphone jack so I can use my own earbuds and not crappy ones that come with the phone (if they even make a phone with a traditional headphone jack).

Currently I have the sony ericson w810i, (one of the 1st 'walkman' phones). I'm pretty happy with it though the screen cracked a long time ago.

This is what I'm looking at now http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Samsung+A737+-+Orange+(Refurb)&q_sku=sku1230024
Though I don't know if it even comes with crappy earbuds or a whole lot about it, but I'm open to suggestions.

Any phone will require an internet plan if you use the actual internet. There are different ways to use it, pay by the MB, Unlimited use, etc. OR you can get an unlimited text, email, and internet all in one package, but its like $45 just for that. But no matter what phone you have, if you use the actual internet or their MediaNet, you pay, whether it be by the MB/KB or the type of usage.

But yes, the Vu, Blackberry, iPhone, Blackjack, etc, any PDA require media plans for the net.

I have the iPhone and swear by it. It's my iPod, my phone, my mobile entertainment, my planner, alarm, e-mail, etc. etc. I mean honestly, after the iPhone, HOW many rip-off's have there been with horrible reviews? Give the iPhone a try. You have 30 days if you don't like it. WELL worth it IMO. It's worth twice what they're selling it for.

Message posted from my iPhone.

Fox how much did it run you for your first month, with buying the iPhone and setting up your plan? I have At&T for my home phone and internet already. I have Sprint for my cell phone, its alright I guess. I'd like to get the iPhone. I have the HTC Touch (PDA thing) its a pain in the *** to use.

Some of the phones connect through wifi now so you don't necessarily have to do anything with the internet package in order to use the internet in occasional spots. Almost any phone is gonna have the capability to put music on it now.. and is there any kind of adapter you could rig up for regular headphones to the smaller jack that most phones use? It might be a remedy for the earbud idea. I've always loved LG stuff the best.
