    (And the idiot is me!)

    Help me choose my new cell phone!

    I've been a Cingular customer for a couple of years. I'm eligible for
    a "free" upgrade. I've fulfilled my contract with Cingular and feel no
    particular loyalty to them.

    I don't have many choices, as far as carriers go: AFAIK, the only
    carriers who offer service where I live (zip code 41143, Grayson,
    Kentucky) are Cingular, Nextel, and Alltel--no Sprint, no Verizon.

    I've upgraded to an Audiovox SMT 5600 smartphone. It does all the
    things I want (see the list below), but a. it's still going to cost me
    money, and b. it's got a lot more stuff than I think I need on it. I
    have 30 days and counting to change my mind and get something else.

    In descending priority, here's what I want a phone to do/have:

    1. WORK! Be reliable, durable, etc.

    2. Synch with Outlook on my computer. My priority is contacts and
    calendar. It'd be nice to be able to read email, too, but my Tungsten
    T-3 handles that just fine. (Does a phone HAVE TO BE a "smart phone"
    to synch with Outlook?)

    3. Speaker phone.

    4. Be free with new activation or Cingular upgrade.

    5. Bluetooth (the T-3).

    6. .mp3 player.

    Does anyone know phones that fit the above description?

    Is there a search engine somewhere that lets me compare these features?

    Thanks for putting up with my ignorance.
