I'm finally being forced onto the cell phone bandwagon. Here's the deal: I'd like a small phone with bluetooth capabilities for syncing with iSync. I don't want a camera, I don't want 10 different buttons to access the internet, etc. I want a phone. If those other extraneous features are on the phone, but out of my way, that's fine.

I was looking at the Sony Ericsson T637, but it sounds like it's *very* easy to start accessing the internet since it's got about 10 different ways to do it. It also has a crappy camera - why even bother putting it in? Looks like I can get it relatively cheap with service, and that's a plus.

Are there any other phones I should be looking at?

On a side note, whose brilliant idea was it that camera+phones are match made in heaven?

As pure as phones, go Nokia 6630. Series 60, great battery, speaker phone, aac ring tones, amazing 3G speeds, good bluetooth (though having to sync via bluetooth and my old pda until Tiger comes out with MLSync.

Other than that, it pairs perfectly with my PB. Looks good, no SE-like reception drops. Camera is decent, video option/reduced mmc card are very nice.
