hi trevor
the t39 dates from 2000 or 2001 i think so i really can't suggest it.  
i liked it because it had a great design, was well built, had  
bluetooth (rare back then), excellent reception, a flip cover, and  
was small. it is that phone that made me a loyal sonyericsson  
customer ever since (except for those 2 days with a moto v525!). i've  
gone through a few since: r520m, t39, t68, t630, k700 and now i have  
an s700…

ever since os x came out (if my souvenirs are right) i have been able  
to sync the phone to my laptop seemlessly, first via ir then bluetooth.

so yes, i can only suggest a sonyericsson phone! the only other phone  
that "might" make me change manufacturer is qtek with the s100 or  
s200. my contract with swisscom ends in july, i'll see then…
