If you really want Nokia, get the 6230b, not the i, the b. Yes, there is a difference, the b has 850, the i does not.

Before you decide, ASK about actual coverage in YOUR area, what is proven to work on the network you will be using 99% of the time.

Don't take the word of anybody outside your state or area based on their personal expectations or use, they don't live in your town, you do.

Ask to test a few handsets before you sign on to a lengthy plan, that way you will know what phone will work best for you, and where you travel.

Don't even take my word, I don't live there.

Find out how long the 'grace' period is should you decide to cancel your service, if during that time, request to try different models of phones so YOU can make your mind up and judge for yourself what works best to you.

Before you sign on the line, check the actual signal levels of ALL the currently available models from that provider while you are in the store.
Ask if you can make several test calls to see which ones are clearer with audio and reception....try web access if you can...do these first steps then make up your mind as to which model you prefer over the others.

Test the phones, don't make your mind up by looks and colors alone....BAD choice!

Try before you buy....The more information you have, the better your decision will be as well once you have made up your mind.

Look over the counter, see what phones the sales people have, but don't base your decision on that, just because they work there, doesn't mean they know what's best.

The only customer you have to gain approval from is YOU!

Get the 6230b.

I would not recommend the 6600. That runs off of 900-1800-1900 bandwith. Cingulars main frequency is 850. I would recommend the 6620 out of those two. The 3595 is quite old, I remember that from 3 year ago. Would not recommend. The 6030 by specifications look nice but I have never used and would not be able to speak on that.
Out of these I would go with the 6620, probably the most stable phone I have had but it is also may be the most expensive out of the group.
