Hello,
I understand this might seem like a stupid question. But I have been
researching for a couple of days now and the only phone I saw fit was
Tmobile SDA (MDA)
I am looking for a phone which will bring me regular phone
functionality, good clear service and the ability to run skype. I don't
need anything more.
Can anyone please point me to the right direction, which phones can I
choose from?
BTW
My contract with Tmobile is ending in a couple of days, so maybe good
offers with new contract

Also if not Tmobile perhaphs Cingular? I travel out of the country
atleast once a year for atleast a month or so and it would be nice to
be able to use the same phone here in the US and Europe. Or I guess
some kind of GSM/WCDMA/CDMA ...or however they are.

Thank you in advance.

Dmitriy.

Why on earth would you want to run skype on a mobil phone?
Generally the traffic charges Skype generates are a lot higher than
the phone charges.

Oh, sorry forgot to include WifFi.
It has to have WiFi too, so I could use it for free...
It would be very usefull to me since I have many friends and family
member in another country who have skype on computer. It would be
awesome if I could talk to them from a local starbucks... heh. :)

I believe the Nokia E Series phones are capable of this. I am awaiting
the delivery of a Nokia E60 today, so I will actually be looking into
that myself once it arrives.
