Got to get a new phone, my leetle Nokia 3220 is on its last legs. Smart phone. Here are my top phone choices: I'm really leaning toward the 6682, but I'm also thinking about the TMobile MDA (i have tmobile service, not reall y into switching at the moment). If only the Nokia e61 had a camera, it would be an easy choice.

I'm always waiting for the perfect one, for example maybe I'll get the SK III when it comes out, (as I love the SK II but no bluetooth, etc.) but who knows when that will be.What do you think? Any advice?

What i'm looking for is basic phone with bluetooth, sms, and a decent calendar/to-do/pc sync capabliitly. Next in importance are AIM, email, web. Camera, not sure, I think I want one, esp with stuff i'm doing at work. The reason I'm interested in wi fi is because I think it's going to be avl. pretty quickly.
Mostly between the first 3.

1. Nokia 6682
PROS
Avl now
good looking, nice keys
Good camera/video
Symbian OS
MP3 player

CONS
no wi fi
no QWERTY keyboard

2. Nokia e61

PROS
Nice, thin form factor (it's a cute little sucker, no?)
Full keyboard
one-handed keyboard option
WiFi
Symbian OS (not sure if this better or worse than win mob but the latter sounds icky)
mp3 player

CONS
Not released yet (but supposed to be in Feb.,)
No camera/video (business phone + camera = security issue apparently -- blackberrys dont have them. )
More expensive?

3. TMobile MDA

PROS
Keyboard
Wi fi
Camera/video
mp3 player (i think?)

CONS
Windows mobile OS (? not sure if this is a con or not but it sounds creepy)
More expensive
Bulky, can?t use one handed

===========================================


4. Sidekick II
Pros
fun to play with
basic camera

Cons
No video
No Bluetooth
No wifi
No one handed use

5. Sidekick III
Not released yet, don't know when it will be.
 
Here's my question for you... why do you need all these functions? You've been using a 3220 for a while I'm guessing... so if you didn't like the lack of functions why didn't you change phones earlier? Honestly there's never the perfect phone... you always have to give and take. I just bought a 6682 which is a great phone and all but even then I find the camera to be lacking especially for nowadays standards (which is around 2 or even 3 MP). Find something and stick with it because there'll always be something better coming out.
