Hi, I'm really leaning toward Cingular when my AT&T plan expires soon.
I like the rates, rollover minutes, and especially the $7 to start
nights at 7pm option. I want a camera phone, but I don't know about
the bulky Nokia 3600 with wierd dial that my local Cingular store
carries. I wasn't real impressed with the 616 (Sony?) either. My
friend is on Sprint and he has a Samsung VGA 1000 that's neat,
GSM/CDMA, and it has a VGA (640 x 480) camera (maybe flash, not not
sure). Could I use this on Cingular's GAIT plan, or at least GSM? The
Samsung also has an LCD on the back of the case when closed, I think
more fore info purposed, like to see who's calling without having to
open the phone up. If I do have to use the Nokia, what's the
difference between the 3600 and 3650? My local store carries the Nokia
3600. Is the 3650 better? TIA,

Dan

Nope - VGA 1000 is a not a GSM handset

Get the 3600. It supports the 850 MHz band used by Cingular and AT&T (as
well as the 1900 MHz band). The 3650 is identical but it doesnt support
850.

Other options might be to get a camera accessory for a Siemens or Sony
Ericsson phone. I suspect that there might be more camera phones available
as the holiday selling season nears.
