Cingular Phone Decision

I am on AT&T wireless and now upgrading to Cingular. I need help deciding which phone to get. On AT&T I had a very simple phone and am now looking for more features. I'd like to have speakerphone, a good camera, Bluetooth - overall I just want a phone that does well as a phone. I am also wondering with camera phones, how do you get the pictures to your computer? Is it possible to transfer them via USB? I am looking at the Sony Ericsson W600i and LG CU320, which both have had relatively great reviews. I really like both of them, especially the design. Anybody have any suggestions on which to get?

I am a fan of Motorola phones & if you want to go with an inexpensive Motorola phone with the capabilities you stated, then I would go with the Motoroa V557 or the V551. The Sony Ericsson W600i is a great phone, but that phone is mainly geared towards people who want to use it as an MP3 player as well.

Pictures can be transfered via USB or through Media Messaging. I am only familiar with transferring via USB on Motorola phones. Have you looked at the Motorola phones?

here's a side by side:

i did see that both have usb availability, which would be great for your pics you mentioned.

but the tiebreaker for me would be the sony's flashlight! jk

I have pretty much narrowed down my choice to the v557 or w600i. I don't have an mp3 player so I think I would like a phone with mp3 player.. I'm assuming they are transferable just like pictures. Is the process of transfering pictures and/or mp3s pretty easy? Also, how much do the USB cables run for? (for both in general, but if your answer is directed to one of them please specify)

Also I am aware that the w600i does not have a regular headset jack.. but can you still use a Bluetooth wireless headset?

thanks

Any USB cable will work for the phone. I use the same USB when connecting my Palm Pilot to my computer or my phone to my computer.

Yes, the phone is Bluetooth capable & I would strongly recommend getting a bluetooth headset as it makes life very convenient.

Transferring pictures & music on the W600i is quite easy as I have had many friends who have had this phone. The only reason I didn't get it is because I thought the screen was too small for me.
