Hi
i had N3650 for 3-4 years now.. i really like it, but its really beat up... time for new phone.
I;ve been going through different handsets lately (had SDA for a week, MDA for a week, all kinds of samsungs, few Nokias (6102)) but all of them are missing some features.

what i'm looking for in a phone is...:

1. incoming SMS - Inbox... has to show sender's name and at least 1 line of actual sms. (just like symbian 60 phones)

2. must be able to easily send sms to multiple recipients. (preferrably by doing multiple select, instead of adding each manually)

3. os supported copy-paste is a must. (i know you can add 3rd party apps ofr sda or sth.. but that does not work for me. )

4. alarm clock with easy setup ( multiple alarms prefferably)

5. loud ringers, must be able to upload own wav/mp3 files. must support 128 kbps mp3 at least

6. calendar contacts syncing with outlook

i like symbian features (copy-paste, alarm clock, multiple recipients, ibbox layout) but i also like home screen + outlook sync + voice quality / ringer quality of Windows Mibile. (SDA like).

is there anything that would satisfy my needs? Not necessarily from t-mobile.
 
hmm.... any S60 with home-screen like feature? showing for example upcoming calendar events?

also does any s60 phone have good quality ringers? that are loud & clear?
my nokia 3650 does support mp3 ringers .... but can't really tell what song it is ;D
 
uhh...Treo 650? You would need third-party apps for 3) (for copy/paste with the keyboard alone - TreoSelecText; you can do c/p with the stylus with no special software), 4) (for multiple alarms - TreoAlarm or Butler), and 5) (MP3 ringtones - Pocket Tunes + Phone Technician or Butler), though...

You really wouldn't need ringtones @ 128kbps.... it takes up space unneccesarily. The small speakers used on phones today can rarely exploit the quality gains achieved with bit rates higher than 64k. They simply lack the tonal range.

If you were really happy with your nokia 3650 you could stay with nokia. Perhaps a cheap 6600 off eBay?

Hybrid.... What did you conquer? Egypt? (just kidding - I know you mean "concur")
 
all the series 60 3rd edition phones have active standby which has a list of your shortcuts to applications you select and it displays your calendar events on your standby screen like on the sda.

if you get a nokia N80 the ringers are very very loud and you can set any mp3 or aac as a ringtone.

but to sum up the answer, any new series 60 3rd edition phone is what you are looking for

n80, n73, n91, n93, e60 (cheap with wifi and hi res screen!), e61 (looks like blackberry, supports blackberry, widescreen, wifi!), e70, etc.
