Its very weak. OK if you like the RAZR your all set, but I hate
clamshells (and quite honestly, its not small at all). Had a perfectly
good Sony T637 and just left it on the train. If you go to
cingular.com and try to find a descent bluetooth enabled phone, its the
RAZR or nothing. What happened to the E398, the 6230, or th S66??

On the same topic, there are obviously tons of sweet 900/1800/1900 GSM
phones out there, is it worthwhile to buy an unlocked one? Or would
sacrificing the 850 frequency (Im in NYC) hurt service too much.

If not, someone please get me:
A candybar style, bluetooth enabled, descent camera, MP3 ringtone
support phone!!

nokia 6230 meets all those needs (at least until cingular cripples
the mp3 ringtones in the branded firmware like they did with the
6620. i'm getting my cingular 6620 firmware replaced with
the unbranded version just to get that feature back).

but the 6230 is not offered by cingular. Go to their website. I have
a premier account with some pretty sweet discounts so buying it outside
of the dealer usually costs way too much money. Cingular told me they
had way too many problems and had to send many 6230s back so they do
not offer it anymore.

See my response to your other post, it should be back in stock. I bought
mine
from them in early August.

That narrows your selection.

By a replacement on eBay or a dealer.
