Open to suggestions -- GSM w/Bluetooth

I'm trying to decide on my next phone and need some assistance from the collective wisdom of the group.

I've used nothing but Ericssons/Sony Ericssons since I first got a cell phone but am looking for a new phone and am willing to consider other brands. My current K700i is a bit buggy so I've been looking beyond the world of SEs. My fiancee has a Razr that I've played around with; I could see living with one but the user interface seems lacking compared to the SE I'm used to.

I'm on T-Mobile so I'm looking for a GSM phone; 850 support would be nice but isn't a dealbreaker.

I'm mainly concerned with how it functions as a phone; I don't really care about playing music, taking pictures, etc., with my phone. Therefore RF performance is a big factor for me.

It has to have Bluetooth. Playing nicely with iSync is a must. I slightly prefer a clamshell to a candybar but either is OK.

Thanks in advance for your help.

6230b comes to mind

Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks again.

I'm thinking of getting the SE Z530i, which is a watered down (and cheaper) version of the upcoming SE W300. I'm not sure if it has BT though.

Don't bother with the Z530i. Wait for the w300, it's worth the extra money.

Quad-band, nicer screen, FM radio.

Gotta agree with xtremein_motion on this one though. 6230b sounds like your best bet. If you like the UI of SE, but want something else, go with Nokia.
