AT&T will be offering the Symbian S60 on contract. The carrier will be bringing the S60-based Nokia 6650 into its lineup soon, the company made official today. The 3G-capable 6650 comes in red and silver and will be available for purchase tomorrow. It comes with a 2-megapixel camera, 2.2-inch QVGA display, AT&T Navigator, Video Share and a Mobile Music system. It costs $69.99 with a 2-year agreement.

I never thought the Sidekick on T-Mobile was a great phone at all.  I mean, sure it has all these useful applications that allow you to connect to the internet and instant message people.  But, it just always looked ugly to me.  Now, Motorola is making me think again about the Sidekick with the Zante.  It looks like it belongs in nightclubs just so you can get emails and phone numbers from people…just don’t spill your drinks on it.

The Motorola Q900 (Zante) features full multimedia playback support, JAVA, game controllers, Danger OS, EDGE connectivity (via T-Mobile), 128MB of internal flash RAM, MiniSD card slot for 2GB, 5.9 hours of talk time. The phone also supports MP3, WAV, MIMI, AAC, AAC+ and WMA formats. The 2.4″ QVGA display boats of 65K TFT screen. It has a 1.3 MP camera and large 5-row QWERTY keyboard. Bluetooth, Push Email, SMS, MMS and IM are the other specs.

Pricing is about $269, a nice compromise to the iPhone. 

Either that, or they’re just implying that the replacement for the PPC-6700 will be a very important person. Or a popular feature on a ski slope.

Odd naming choice aside, this looks like an impressive bit of phone tech, preferable even to the phone-that-shall-not-be-named due to a (potentially) wider distribution, physical keyboard, and faster Internet connection. It’s not as pretty, but then, what is?

Other notable features include a 2.8" QVGA display, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, a microSD slot, 64MB of RAM, 256MB of flash ROM, and a 2 megapixel camera. It won’t be cheap, though: Sprint’s selling the Windows Mobile 6 smartphone for $399.99 with a two-year contract.

If the $750 Nokia N95 is too much for your wallet, consider the latest Chinese knock-off E-PDA V16. It’s a bit larger, but sports a three-inch QVGA touchscreen, three-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a multimedia player. It also supports microSD memory cards.

For a third of the price, it looks good to me!
