I'm considering an account with Cingular and I wonder what handsets you
would recommend? My main concern is signal/voice quality. I don't need
games/ringtones/music/video/pda. I'd like support for a bluetooth wireless
headset. A camera would be OK too, but not important. Any suggestions?
TIA

I have a Motorola V551 that I see at $69 at Best Buy.
This has bluetooth, and I have used a borrowed headset with it. I already
had a $30 Plantronics headset that offers very good quality, so I use that.

Motorola Razr v3 or less expensive v551. My v3 has better reception than my
v551. Both have Bluetooth and both have cameras. v3 does not have video
enabled (can be done), v551 has video enabled.

If signal/voice quality is your main concern, then the answer HAS to
be Nokia. 6230b would work well for you. The only non-Nokia
phone I'd recommend is the RAZR.
