I have a TiBook 1ghz, without bluetooth. I'm looking for a phone that has a decent PIM that can synch via iSync, over USB cable. I'm not looking for a full blown smart phone (Treo, P900, etc...). I prefer flip-phone design.

I know this isn't a phone forum, but the phone forums don't really address Mac connectivity, so I thought I'd check here.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the links, the SE z600 looks great, but let me add two more things:

NOT the t610 (t616?) (too big, poor reception, poor screen)

Also, to reinforce: NOT a Treo, nor a SonyEricsson "p" series (p800, p900)

Available in Canada - this seems to be a killer; we're so far behind everyone when it comes to phone selection, or so it seems. Sorry I didn't put this in the original post.
