and big women. Tiny is always a very good attribute. But if you will be using the additional functionality of the larger phone, enough so that it makes having the larger phone worth while, go that route. ---

But if you go with cingular you will be on a GSM network…with their recent takeover of ATT wireless their network is fairly good nation wide (and it blows verizon away internationally). Im sure 800/850 will be fine, check coverage maps. Regardless, you will not have the coverage with GSM you would find with CDMA in upstate ny, it’s just a newer technology… ---

Don’t go 1900 only in buffalo. The AT&T is mainly 850 as well around here, so most of what you get around here is SOME AT&T, but mostly roaming on t-mobile. and t-mobile is the suck. EDIT: If you’re going PDA phone have you considered anything with symbian? I’m currently using a nokia 6620, which the cheapest ive found it unlocked is $180 so its out of your range, but IMO its \>\>\>\>\>\>\> windows mobile ---

The motorola phones with windows mobile are ridiculously full of bugs…in fact, the MPX220’s were pulled right off the market because they were so bad. The new ones are supposedly fixed but anything coming from anyone other than motorola (cingular doesnt even sell them any more because they were so buggy.) I have my phone with symbian set to sync with my outlook on my laptop every day at 4am via bluetooth…plus the app selection on symbian is way \> that of windowsmobile oh and [www.howardforums.com](http://www.howardforums.com) is your friend.
