I’m looking to purchase a cell phone of some sort. I currently have service with Verizon, so I’d like to be one that works with Verizon (I’m a little unclear as to whether all cell phones will or not).

I’d like a camera phone.

I’d like something which is high powered enough that it can run simple pieces of software, games, etc. In particular, if MAME has been ported to it, all the better.  
And of course, general reliability and quality is a Good Thing.  
Price is not irrelevant, but is not necessarily a crucial factor.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

thanks

I have a motorola t720, and am reasonably unimpressed with it.

LCD breaks easily, charger is broken already. poor interface design
