It's coming up on 2 years since I got this phone. Love it, but I could use an upgrade. Mostly because it's too big, and the software that Nokia's putting out for their phones don't support the 3650 anymore.

Has to be Mac friendly (duh)
Has to be customizable (wallpaper/WAV ringtones)
Has to have an option for a vibrate ring

I thought all nokia's were Mac bluetooth unfriendly.

Do you still want to have the biggest phone in the world or would you like something smaller like a Motorola RASR?

I never had a problem with my Nokia talking to my Mac. What I did have a problem with was Salling Clicker crashing my phone.

Even if it was a big phone, it had the best feature for the best price at the time. I'd rather have something smaller without compromising features, and it has to work with whatever flavor of AT&T is in my area

Nokia 7610, if you can find it... Basically a new/upgraded version of the 3650 in a slightly different form factor.

Cingular has it now, but only in some markets. You may be able to get it through their national ordering system.

Generally they are except for the few Nokia's that use the Symbian OS. Pretty much all the Nokia's running the Symbian OS work natively over Bluetooth with OS X + iSync. The Nokia 3650 and pretty much all the other Nokia models mentioned in this thread are Symbian OS-based. The Symbian OS uses stock Bluetooth. The non-Symbian Nokia's use a proprietary BT implementation from Nokia. I don't remember exactly what it is, but Nokia's implementation is either missing some component (like SyncML) or it replaced it with something of their own.

Nokia 6630. I upgraded from the 6600 and it blows the 6600 out of the water. Series 60 is more stable, much more faster and quite comfortable. Camera is good, lots of options and tools. The bluetooth works great with my PowerBook, though for full syncing, you'll need Tiger and MLSync (I'm syncing my pda then the pda to the phone via bluetooth for now).

I think is rather nice - it's what the 6600 should have been.

You get used to the keyboard very quickly apparently.

Much faster than the 6600.

Oh, no...not another funky keypad layout. I'm still struggling with the 3650's.
