Hi,
I want to buy a phone from my provider (Telus in Canada CDMA PROVIDER BUT I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY PROVIDER FOR GMS. I WILL DO IT IN THE FUTURE WHEN IPHONE WILL BE IN THE CANADIAN MARKET. FOR PERSONAL REASONS I HAVE TO STAY WITH TELUS). I want to have the most compability with my Macbook. I think the best phone is Nokia but Telus does not have a good model. My question:

Which model is the best option for Bluetooth? I want contacts, calendar and if possible music without using USB. I looked at the apple list, but it looks only Motorola RAZR V3C is compatible.

Samsung SPH-M620
LG 8600
Samsung U510
MOTOKRZR™
Motorola RAZR V3c
Motorola A840
Nokia 6165i
Nokia 6675i
And in the Category of PDA device
Motorola Q
Palm S700
BlackBerry 7130e
BlackBerry™ 8703e
BlackBerry 8830

Many thanks for your answers to my question.
I am open to install plug-in software.

I currently have the Motorola e815. It meets all your requirements and does a good job of it. It also lets you use MP3s for ringtones which is fun (I currently have a Big Lebowski theme going on: the theme from Logjammin' for my main ringtone, and for text messages the 'Yeah, yeah, oh yeahhhh' from 'Just dropped in').

As for the phones in your list, the KRZR and RAZR should both sync with iSync natively. I don't know about the other non-PDA ones, but the PDA ones will all work if you install the appropriate version of MissingSync.
