Debating on which SO phone to get???

I'm going to 7-11 in the next few days to buy my $100 airtime and new phone. I'd like to call the location I'm going to go to before I drive there to ensure they have the model I want. I'm deciding between the:

1208 - very well reveiwed but with no camera and fairly featureless
2760 - not reviewed very well but with camera and bluetooth.
5200 - more toys, better camera, but seems flimsier.

I like the flip phone (2760) but I'm concerned about Steve's poor review of this phone. I'm not sure I'll get much benefit out of some of the features of the 5200 since I won't be using it for music. I do like the FM radio but the 2760 has this too.

The 1208 is a good solid cell phone that probably has everything I want except the camera. But the camera on the 2760 is so not useful (according to Steve's) review, that it makes me wonder if I'm better off with the simple 1208.

Thoughts?

I got the 1208 with the free phone promotion and I highly recommend it. I don't care for frills on phones I'll never use, like a camera. I have a great regular digital camera if I want to take pictures.
