I purchased my phone, the Nokia 3360, in November 2001. It is now nineteen months old. Like most cell phones, the battery crapped out in about a year. Now, the screen is crapping out. On top of that, I am using a phone that is not compatible with the system offered by cellular in NYC. So, I am actually getting service through AT&T. Basically, it's not the best situation.

Now, I am starting to think about getting a new phone because I'm planning to stick with Cingular. I would like one that will sync with iSync--which means it will have a contacts section--and it would be nice to have a built-in camera. Unfortunately, Cingular does not currently offer a phone that does both of these.

As I've mentioned in the past, I'm eyeing the T610, which is supposed to be out this month and would fill all my needs. My only qualm is that I've heard wishy-washy things about Sony Ericsson phones. I could wait for new Motorola phones, but I don't know how long my phone's going to last.

What to do.
