I'm in the market for a new mobile phone and I definitely want Bluetooth and access to my mail. What I would love to be able to have is a good phone to access my .mac account and other email accounts on my phone. Any suggestions?

The Nokia 3650 has a pretty decent IMAP and POP capable mail client. I like it anyway. It also has bluetooth and a 640x480 camera. It's kinda cool to take pictures of things and then instantly transmit them to your PDA via bluetooth or email them to someone in your phone's contact list.

Thanks. Does it sync well with Address Book? I was wondering if, when you receive a call, the person's photo shows on the phone?

Yes, and yes. The interface is way more responsive and easy to use than the SE T68i I had previously too. The phone also has an awesome call management interface for doing group conferencing (up to 6 people) complete with the ability to go temporarily go private, calling a whole group out of the address book, etc.

The picture stuff works pretty nice, you take a picture of someone with the phone, attach it to their contact entry (also on the phone.) Next time you sync with iSync the picture shows up in your address book. Pretty neat. If you have a picture in Address Book but not on the phone you will get that pic on the phone too.

It doesn't support syncing with iCal yet (I think it does in Panther with the newer iSync but I haven't tried it yet.)

Oh, another neat trick is you can export a video into .3gpp format via Quicktime 6.3, transfer it via bluetooth onto a memory card, and watch it on the phone. I usually send the audio to my bluetooth headset.
