I bought an Ericsson R520m from Cellularshowroom.com via an eBay auction. Their current web price for this phone is $51.99 + $25.00 S&H or $76.99. It has been just perfect for my needs. It is automatic tri-band (no manual switching from 1900 to 900/1800), WAP, GPRS, Bluetooth, IrDA, etc. It comes with an A/C charger and CD-ROM program to set up the phones functions via IrDA. From different sources I bought an OEM leather belt case, tiny travel charger and 2.5 mm headset adapter. This phone was over $400 a couple of years ago. -- Donald Newcomb DRNewcomb (at) attglobal (dot) net Remove 'NOT' from address to reply
