I'm thinking of getting a phone with some web capability. Here is
their list:

Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Yes, but if I bought an iphone I wouldn't be frugal!

What's your budget? Where do you intend to use the phone most? Why do
you need a web enabled cell phone? Have you considered A&T and an
iPhone, or a Blackberry from Verizon or Cingular?

Frugal has nothing to do with price; its more to do with value; what you
get for your money.
The budget is not much.

Those are out of my reach. It's the cost of the repetitive service
more that the cost of the phone.
I don't need great web phone capability. But if it lousy than I will
do without. I know what an iphone looks like, I know what a blackberry
looks like. I do not know what any of these second or third tier phones
do on a second tier system.
I'm more or less unemployed since two days ago and do not want to
spend $100+/month. You may love your AT&T iphone, I can not afford it
now. I need about 1800 minutes/month, with most of the services you
mention that is $100 without web access. At metro pcs that is $45 for
unlimited, that is good enough for me now and if the web phone is not a
joke then I will spend the extra money *once* for the phone, else I will
buy a cheaper phone.
