Audiovox 2125, best smartphone...guarenteed. I know at least 25 people who have it...its microsofts phone of choice to give to employees and living in seattle ALL my friends are microsoft people...and not ONE of them has anything but incredibly positive things to say about the phone...and personally, Ive owned my fair share...treo..moto and let me just say that i am not going to be switching any time soon!
Glad to see there's someone out there who likes the 650. I've ordered one that I should be getting in the next day or two - I couldn't see any other phone that would have suited my needs, as I have to have one running Palm OS in order to transfer my old files in that format, and I didn't want to have a separate Palm and phone again.
I'm on to my 4th smartphone as of yesterday: the Motorola A1200 MING.
So far, its amazing, everything I had hoped itd be and more. The only thing I'm missing is a way to connect to my Mac. Once this issue is solved, I'll be more than content.
Once this issue is solved? If it doesn't sync with my Mac, it's useless to me and would mean it's not amazing or anything. It wouldn't even do what I want to do, entirely.
I'd think any mobile that can sync with the Mac is a better smartphone, no?
I don't anymore. This is my 4th S60 Nokia [N70] and the software is slow and buggy the Music Player app stopped working for about 2 months and after 540 pictures in my gallery it doesn't show thumb's or the pictures after clicking on them. It could be the large amount of pictures I have but my last S60 device wasn't like this [6680]
I'm looking at the Palm Treo 750v (The Treo for us over here in Europe-land) except it doesn't have WiFi which is something I'd like to see in a phone.

I think once you get your contacts onto the phone, the only thing to sync is really the calendar, no? And since I'm not so busy I can't just look at my cal in the morning and know what Im doing, its not really a problem for me.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to find a way to sync my phone to my mac, but I don't see it being a huge problem.
The reason have a smartphone is the email and internet access mainly.
Should have waited for the recently announced 680...
I should add that I wanted it on a UK contract, and I wanted the phone for free. That's what I got, and I somehow doubt I could get a newly-introduced model under those conditions.
Nokia E61
I've been looking at the Nokia E61, has some pretty good features, you can check out a link to a site that has come different prices for it here:

check out this flip phone I just found... its called the samsung t719.. its a thin flip phone with a suretype qwerty keyboard and blackberry connect! I think its exactly what ive been looking for. The only problem is that the cingular 3125 is supposed to get a little bit better reception and phone call quality, but I guess you have to sacrifice some thing for other things.

Looks good except that screen looks tiny. I wonder how navagation is on it as well...
Well of course there's the nokia e70.
And there's also this one: http://www.europe.nokia.com/A4142111

The 680 is just a 650 without an antenna IMHO.
I'll give you the best smartphone...

(why not?)
Last line in small print. Pending apple's ability to get there **** together. haha nice
My T-Mobile MDA looks better than any Treo or Crackberry and I've had no problems whatsoever with it. It has Windows Mobile 2005 over Nokia's less impressive OS (further, it's evidently compatible with the new CE6, but we'll see whether or not we get any sort of firmware upgrade), good WiFi and cellular quality. It also has a backlit keyboard, stylus storage, and an easy-access memory card slot.
Also, after dropping it two or three times, I can vouch that it's quite sturdy (though the stylus has a tendency to fly out like a missile and hide in the grass).
My friend has a Treo 700wx and it's been great so far. Call reception is great and the video camera is fairly good. But we're 13 so we have different standards. Usually.
Mmm.. I'm really wanting an E61 so I can browse like mad in bed or whererver.
That's true if you buy the Cingular version (E62), but I bought an unlocked E61 (which includes wifi) back in May and I absolutely love it.yes they do seem very nice.. and from what I hear they have solid call quality and are easy to use like you said.. however, no wifi on the US version.
