Bluetooth-Enabled Phones with T-Mobile

Can anyone recommend any Bluetooth-Enabled Phones, particularly with T-Mobile?

Thanks in advance.

Craig

PS - I pick up my black/ebony 6MT on Monday!

I have been using the Sony Ericsson T610 without any problems. It paired up just fine. The only other T-Mobile option I saw was a Nokia, that was about 2X larger in size -- I opted for the smaller one as it is easier to carry on my belt.

My only complaint is that the longevity is much less that I expected. With 24/7 power on, infrequent calling, but use of Bluetooth, my phone is needing recharging every 3 days or so. My old AT&T/Nokia (no BT) went 7-10 days between charges.

I'm waiting for the T637. That phone hasn't been released in the US yet. It's been in Europe as the T630 for some time now.

If anyone hears anything about the T637's release date, I'd definately be interested.

I'm using a v600 that I picked up on eBay. It works great.

I am think of switching to T-Mobile and the Ericsson T610. Good move? Also, what Nokia were you looking at? The 3650?

Thanks.

I thought T-Mobile would use T630 instead of T637...? 'cause T-M doesn't have T637's specific frequency.

from what i hear, T-Mobile is relatively new and doesnt have as much signal coverage as Verizon and AT&T do.

i went from verizon (most coverage) to AT&T (2nd most), the coverage map for the T-Mobile was really sparse in comparison. this was a year ago. T-Mobile could be better now, but i still wouldnt get one myself.

T-Mobile's been busy making a lot of agreements, like in CA and NV they share a system with Cingular (so there is a lot of coverage in these two states).

Which one sucks least: the Nokia 3650, the Ericsson T610, or the Motorola V66?

Thanks.

Are those both Ericsson and both better than Nokia 3650, the Ericsson T610, or the Motorola V66?

Please tell me again why you do not recommend the Nokia 3650?

Thanks.

cteti...I saw you mention the Motorola V66. That does NOT have bluetooth...only the V500 and V600 from Motorola do.

I use the Motorola V500, bought unlocked from a website I found on howardforums. Works great! I live in SFL and down here, T-Moible has wonderful coverage.

I'd say if you really want a bluetooth phone on T-Mobile, decide what phone you want from all phones, not just what phone T-Mobile sells. You can always get some cheap phone from them, pull out the SIM card, and put it in whatever bluetooth phone you like...as long as the phone is unlocked that is. :-)
