hi
get a sony ericsson. syncing with the mac is seemless through isync  
and you can use the phone as a remote control, right out of the box.  
no additional software is needed!

i've had 3 motorola phones (cd160, talkabout 191 & v525, returned it  
after 2 days) and i will never by another. bad interface, not  
terribly compatible with the mac (last time i checked, you need a usb  
cable to sync, despite bluetooth!). i was tempted by the razr (who  
isn't?!) but saw that the menu system had not evolved into anything  
better. just my opinion though…

(btw my best phone so far was probably the ericsson t39m)
