Nokia N80
N80 for Cingular
I am debating between this N80 or the Palm Treo 650. I know the N80 is a 3G phone and PDA/Smartphone and the Palm 650 is Edge only (I hear the 3G version for the Treo is coming out in October)....so I'm deciding which phone I should go with...
I've always been a big Nokia fan....
Any info and advice would be helpful...
Thanks,

The more I think "logically" about it, I think the N80 is probably a much better phone overall. The Treo is a nice looking phone, but average in functionality. Just looking on Nokia's website and looking at the features this phone has and is capable of, it's truly worth the money. I'll check their website and try to call the store in Chicago....

True, the 2100 is no good on cingular, but that's just with respect to their 3G network, and has ZERO effect on your ability to use the EDGE/GPRS network, which is just the data side of the voice network you would be talking on.

There are NO limitations on the phone no matter if it is a "U

Question on the WiFi capabilities on this phone - does that mean that if I'm at a WiLAN hotspot (like Starbucks), the download speed is at the speed of broadband (DSL) type? Forgive me if I'm getting the terminology incorrect or seem ignorant in my questions.....
Thanks,

By the way, WHO IN THE WORLD MAKES A 6MP CAMERA PHONE FOR CINGULAR!? i've heard of no such thing... i looked on their site just to find out and they have no phone available with a 6 megapixel camera - in fact, i didnt even think there was a 6mp camera available on ANY phone.
I should have made myself clearer by saying a nice 3g phone + (a separate) 6 MP camera such as sony. Last night i did see a new phone with a 5 MP camera built in which is the KG920 but the look is not as sleek.
I also understand that Cingular does not have an "Extensive" 3G network but they do have full coverage in my area of Chicago and the suburbs where i live and i still cannot justify the price for p...
