which phone is the right phone for me?

[mlecho]

I have a sonyericsson t68i...originally i thought i wanted to upgrade to a sonyericsson t610. I spend half the year in europe (italy, mostly), the other half in the states. Not sure where will be spending time next year between the two. What phone do i want that will still work with iSync, and satisfy my network needs. T610 gets aces for europe, and cries in the states....T616 gets it visa versa...any thoughts or advice. This phone must be unlocked from any service commitment, yet affordable...nothing like a nokia 6600 with every bell, whistle and video....needy heh?

finally, is it true that ALL symbian phones are mac compatible (isync)? if so, i may be heading a whole new direction!

thanks all

Well, presumably getting a signal is gonna be your utmost concern. In that case I'd maybe look at the Motorola V300 or V500, both of which are quad-band (850/900/1800/1900MHz), so you wouldn't have to choose between the groupings of frequencies.

To be honest, I really don't know if the Motos would work with iSync, but they're Bluetooth compatible so perhaps you could still hook them up if you needed mobile GPRS access.

Cheers, and g'luck!
