Phone decisions

18 Mar 2004

Hmmm. I’m trying to decide what to do about my phone. I’m out of my 12 month contract now, so I can either upgrade, or move provider. There’s 2 deciding points here:

  1. It must be bluetooth and work well with iSync - once you’ve had your phone work seamlessly with your Mac there’s no going back
  2. I’d like a clamshell phone - I just fancy a flippy phone for a change from the T68i I had (before I washed it…)

On Orange the options are either the Motorola V500 or V600, but they’re not on Apple’s compatibility page, and I’ve not seen reports of them working (or not working) with iSync. The best option would be the Sony Ericsson Z600, but Orange don’t do that, so I’d have to switch provider. Of course, I could just cave in and get a non-clamshell T610 which is known to work well with iSync (as do all Sony Ericsson phones).

Oh the decisions! Any recommendations welcome.
