Whichever you choose, you're going to get the car adaptor for that BMW you're buying, right? :laugh:

email capabilities, syncing w/ computer for "to do", internet browsing, MP3 capability, expandability with flash/SD/Memory cards. WiFi for when at home, and at school, good phone capabilities too.

Palm Treo 700 maybe?

Heard good things about it and would do what you want.

I use the XV6700, and I love it. It has bigger keys than the other smartphones I've used. I also just discovered that I can tether it to a laptop, so I can get internet access through the phone. sweeeeet

VX6700. The 700w has crappy/nonstandard resolution. I don't think it has WiFi either.

i think the VX6700 as well, its cheaper, and seems to be a great phone as well.

ill go look at them soon, and maybe buy one. need to figure out what my phone bill is right now per month, i only need like 400 minutes, dont need that damn 1350 minute plan.

Ive played with every single one of them for hours, borrowed them etc.

Motorola Q if you can.

I have the Cingular 8125 which is a similiar version to the VX6700 and it rocks. Trust me, the Q or the treo700 ain't got nothing on it.

I had the Q for a few days but I needed one with a bigger screen for gps so ended up going with the 8125. And the video looks nice on it too. Plus with WM2005 there's so many softwares out there so there's so much more you can do with it.

You're thinking of GSM phones. I believe there aren't official firmwares for CDMA phones.

yes, verizon network... itsthe best in the area, no dropped calls, or very very rarely, best coverage, and service.

Here's a vote for the Samsung i730. It's a similar size to the 6700 with a faster processor and a better form factor.

Even though the i730 is a little older that the 6700, it is a superior phone. I wish I could get one on Sprint.
