If you have a Bluetooth phone you can use GPRS wirelessly on your 12". Very slick. No matter where around town you are, you can get online. No need to look for a starbucks or a free WiFi hot spot. I'm thinking of doing that once I get a 12" (waiting to see if they will be updated in the near future).

Not everyone is used to ubiquitous mobile phone service, especially here in the US. I remember back in England in 1994, my cousin had a cell phone that worked everywhere (including the London Underground). Erik states:... Someone likes Cingular?

Should have mentioned. Don't hold out for the T616. According to the phones you mentioned, Cingular isn't GSM in your area yet. You're limited to TDMA offerings. As you found out, the TDMA offerings are really lame. Crap. Should have mentioned. Don't hold out for the T616. According to the phones you mentioned, Cingular isn't GSM in your area yet.

Check the website... It's available in NYC area but not in my area (Tampa). Also, I think you meant the Nokia 3560, not the 3650. The 3560 is TDMA while the 3650 is GSM. Cingular is not GSM in all locations yet (such as Tampa and most likely your area as the phone listings are exactly the same). Anyway, while talking about the 3650. It's a brick compared to the T616... It's 4.59oz and 5.10" x 2.24" x 1.00". The t616 is 3.35oz and 4.02" x 1.73" x 0.75... Some cingular channels have already gotten t616 shipments.

I've had my Nokia 3650 for about a month now and I'm really, really happy with it. There's no iCal calendaring support yet, but you can still synch your addressbook and upload files/apps and download pictures pretty easily. Yeah, exactly.
