car/phone integration...what's my best bet?

[acd483]

A little background. I've got a V300 on T-Mo. Great reception/service so far. Phone is too bulky, poor connectability, never use the camera/spkrphn etc. I bought it to make my own ringtone, but it doesn't work with mac.

What I want:
a new phone (and carrier maybe as I am at the end of the contract). I want a light, attractive, well built phone. No camera, excellent sound and display, bluetooth, mac compatibility and good battery life with a sturdy charger. It could be a candy bar or a flip. I would consider any company if the phone meets the proper criteria. I want a phone that looks professional and gets out of its own way. Not the bulky thing I have now.

I'm looking ahead so that when I buy a car with bluetooth, I can get in, have it in my pocket and answer the calls I receive over the car's stereo. Is every bluetooth phone capable of this?

Any suggestions? I'd much appreciate it. I also would consider buying outside the offerings made by the phone companies.

I have tried my Nokia 6600 with a Toyota Prius and found that it worked well. I also have Bluetooth connectivity with my Mac, which works about half the time.

Thanks,

I think I'll be going with Cingular and a Nokia 6230
