cell phones and mac

[giovanni]

Hi,
just wanted to check with you on this as I am quite ignorant on this topic.
I need a new cell phone as the piece of sh** I have is broken. Since I finally bought a new Mac that can run Jaguar I was wondering whether I should consider a phone that can "work" with the mac (rendezvous ? bluetooth? kind of thing), both in terms of address book sharing stuff and wireless access to the internet when I am traveling.

All I have found out so far is that there is one phone the T68 which is known to work with the mac, and it is $600 !!!!

What do you think, do you know of other alternatives may be not so ridicucously expensive ?

thx.
gio

PDA Phones

PDA Phones should work with the Mac, I have a Kyocera 6035 with a USB connected cradle and it syncs nicely. I'm waiting for iSync so I can get rid of Palm Desktop.

Ericsson T68i is $200.00

I just bought mine from Cingular for $250 and with a rebate for $50.

cingular sucks, who would want to commit to a cellular plan for two years??? there price structure is wack, and there network is lacking.

Of the remaining two GSM providers, At&T and T-Mobile, the latter has you covered best... at&t's coverage on GSM is poor

you will still require a d-link adapter...
