I have a Nokia 6620 with cingular. It probably doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the newer 6682, but it plays very nicely with OS X on my powerbook and wasn't a bad deal at $150 for a two year contract.

Pluses: Lots of features, standardized power adapters, Bluetooth, External multimedia card storage, and Nokia strongly supports their phones' developer communities.

Minuses: Lots of features, UI is poorly organized and it can be difficult to find the right place to turn annoying features off, no case is available for the phone (that I'm aware of)

I am looking for advice on selecting a phone compatible with the Cingular
Network. One of my main goals is to be able to synch with OS X via iSync and
bluetooth, but the most important thing is a quality phone that works well
as a phone. I have been reading reviewed on phonescoop.com and people seem
to have problems with everything--very troubling.

Here are the models I have been considering, in no particular order:

Motorola V551
Motorola RAZR V3
Sony Ericsson S710
Nokia 6682

I am hoping to pay less than $200 (with a 2-year contract), so I am not
considering the more expensive phones like the Trio.

Anyone with an experience, good or bad, with these models?

Thanks,
David
