OT: Advice needed: time for me to go cell phone shopping...

OK, I'm currently using a standard Nokia 5150 series phone via AT&T wireless, and am getting reamed for close to $50/month.

I need a new cell phone and a new service plan, and also need to be able to sync it up with my Entourage contacts, which I presume would be best done by using iSync (by way of OS X's Address Book). I know how to transfer my Entourage info over to Address Book, and I also know that iSync only works with the following phones:

Nokia Series 60 Smartphones
Sony Ericsson P800 and P900
Sony Ericsson Bluetooth phones
Siemens Bluetooth phones
Motorola USB phones
Palm OS phones

I don't really need a full-scale Palm, and the Treo starts at $450, so that's pretty much out of the running.

I've heard great things about Sony Ericcson phones. I don't have Bluetooth currently, but might add it to the G5 that I anticipate upgrading to sometime in the fall.

Beyond that, I'm at a loss--I have no need of cellphone-based internet access or phonecams; basically, the only must-have features I need are 1) good cell phone; 2) iSync-compatible contacts; 3) decent calling area/range, and 4) reasonable price.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance.
