Hello
I'm going to be signing up with either Cingular or T-Mobile (leaning
towards the latter) and am interested in a cell phone with the following
features :
- GSM quad band (for international use)
- PIM functionality (phonebook, appointments etc) with ability to sync
with a PC
- Speakerphone
- Blue tooth
- Camera (doesn't have to be too sophisticated)
- Longer talk time and standby time preferred
I care more about the functionality and don't care if the phone doesn't
look very nice.
My understanding is that only a quad band TREO / Blackberry meets these
needs.
Is that correct ?
Do you have any other phones/devices I should look at ?
Thanks a bunch for your responses.

I have carried a Nokia 6620 for several years. It run Symbian and does all
these things.
It's only tri-band, though: 850, 1800, 1900, but that gets most of the world
these days.
