New Phone and Service

[Keith Christian]

Hi,

Cingular is offering the N75 for $199 with a 2 year contract.
Letstalk.com is offering it for $49 with what looks like the same
contract.  Have any of you had any experience with this phone?  Would
you consider a different phone and why?  


Thanks Stephen and others on the list for your advice so far, it has
been helpful.  


Keith
