As I noted earlier, I replaced my old Nokia 3650 with a Motorola V551. I thought hoped that the inability to sync with my Mac via Bluetooth wouldn’t be a big deal. I was wrong. I tried syncing using a friend’s USB cable, and it was a hit-and-miss affair. Furthermore I couldn’t transfer photos, video clips or data between the two. I guess Motorola and Cingular want to force me to use billable air time and bandwidth to move stuff around.
The other thing I realized is that I’ve gone off flip phones. Over the years I’ve had both fixed and flip units, and I guess I forgot how inconvenient it can be to flip open a phone one-handed. If I was planning to use my headset all the time, a flip might be OK, but I’m not. Oh, well. Cingular has a 30 day no-questions return policy, so I’ll probably trade the V551 in for a Treo 650 some time in the next few days.
