Love Nokia's but may be moving to VZ in January depending on what I get on plan pricing (VZ deal thru work). If I stay with cingular this looks like an good professional option (though the kid in me is intruiged by the NGage QD).</p> Any Verizon (cheap smartphone) recomendations?

Much faster phone overall. Class 10 EDGE (which means you might be able to get 150kbps speeds).</p> If you think the 6620 is sweet, just wait until the Nokia 6630 comes over to our side of the pond.

I've been using the 6620 since the Olympics, when it was the only phone enabled by ATTWS for Olympic video clips. I ended up keeping it -- at a slightly higher price than today's -- and I'm glad I did. It's been my only camera on several trips with some nifty results. (Also some pretty dismal results.) The Bluetooth feature is great -- I use a BT Jabra headset that makes people think I'm talking to myself and syncing photos is a breeze -- although I still haven't mastered using the phone as a modem. I'm considering a Bluetooth keyboard for posting when a laptop isn't practical but I have more than a few words to input. I added a 128 memory card so I can start playing with sound files. My only other major accessory wish right now -- a charger that can handle two batteries at once. More people ask to play with this phone than any other I've had.</p> Good recommendation.

No need to rub it in. =)

I already lust for the 6630, as I’ve neard nothing but glowing recommendations all around (minus a little discussion about lack of memory).

Fortunately, those of use based in North America are accustomed to the pain of watching cool phones come out for everyone else in the world first, to show up on our distant shores months later.

Sigh. Matt
