Hi all I'm hunting for a new phone. Had a look at the Apple website, which gave me a list to look at, and a cool little table at the bottom which describes which brands offer the best compatibility - they are:

- Nokia '60' series
- Panasonic '60' series
- Sony Ericsson P800, P900 and P910 series phones

I've been using a Sony Ericsson T68i up until this point (interface bugs me sometimes) ... anyone have any recommendations and/or observations on the phones grouped above?

My criteria are that the phone be compatible with OS 10.4, not be too big, have a functional interface (both the operating system and physical form) e.g. buttons made for medium sized fingers, have bluetooth, and have a decent standby time.

Before you say anything Shay, I accept that I'll only get the proverbial 'two out of three' criteria met in a single product. :)

Never hurts to list them all though - 'gives you options.

Cheers,
Tobes.

Hey Tobes,

I'm on the hunt for a new phone too. I'm leaning towards the k750i when it comes out, but not too sure of iSync compatibility. I currently have a Nokia 3650, which syncs well, but doesn't communicate all that well with Address Book ie loses bluetooth contact with Address book (still connected to the OS though), when it is connected, doesn't report incoming calls or SMS messages. I have tried everything to get it to work propoerly, but to no avail. Hopefully that has been fixed with later model Nokia's.

Anybody used a Panasonic?

Rod!
