I'm in the market for my first cellphone in Korea. I had a crap phone back in Canada with Virgin Mobile, so I'm looking to get something a bit better. I want a decent cameraphone because I feel silly whipping out the digicam sometimes and it would be nice to always have something on you to record interesting pictures or videos. I really like the slide phone style in white (to match my macbook, ipod, and ds lite because I'm a girly girl), but I'm open to someting cheaper if the prices go over $150 and I don't mind getting something used, which I've heard is the norm.

I asked a phone vendors about mac compatible phones. I want something that can take videos and pictures and no one knew if I'd be able to transfer them to my computer to send to friends and family back home. Any advice on getting something compatible or phone buying tips in general? I've been to Youngson (a zoo) and Itewon (friendly but a bit pricey).

Just for reference, I have an intel macbook, which I've read aren't even out in Korea, hence my worry about compatiblility issues.
