Hello i have been browsing this forum like crazy the last two days, and I need some help

I have a tremendous ATT plan, well wifey does and unlimited minutes (sim card based ericsson phone t68i that is dying) and cingular/att wont sell us a new phone without upgrading the plan, or ie losing the unlimited minutes anytime global (I understand why lol)

anyway im in Southern CAL, and I have the sim card in perfect condition, and it works in both older ercisson phones we have, so I assume I can just buy and older unlocked tri band GSM phone right

ive narrowed it down to

nokia 6233
nokia N72
ericsson w810i
nokia 6230i
nokia 6270

allI really need is bluetooth, speakerphone, color screen, text messaging, and email capabilities, long battery life (or extended battery-She is a real estate agent)

these seem to get the best ratings on the boards so far

thanks
please help me out with anything

I'm also on a good Cingular former AT&T plan.
I just got a SE T616 for my wife and it is good, although I am not sure about all these features.
I'm looking at some of these Nokias for myself (and maybe my wife, too, keeping the T616 as a backup).
Watch out for some of the Nokia's from the UK or EU, some have the 850 band fitted for the UK at 900 instead.

My list includes SE P910 (although I would guess this is going to be out of my price range), as well as a Nokia 3620.
