I use a Treo 650 and "Missing Sync" from mark/space
to sync to my MacBook Pro on OS 10.4.9 and it works
well. I sync to iCal and Address Book. It is possible to sync
to other Mac apps, I just do not want to.
I went to a Microsoft & Palm sponsored marketing event
a month or so ago and met a guy who ran the IT dept.
for a large law firm in DC. He said all his people
(the users) much preferred the Treo 650 over the other
models. He cited low battery life on some of the newer
models and other problems with newer models.
On a Treo 650 you can also surf the net & get email,
but Cingular/ATT want too much per month.
There are at least 2 PDA experts in CPCUG
who may be able to help you more.
One of them is speaking tomorrow at 1PM at the
Cleveland
Park Library.

My son is looking for a cellphone that:
- works on Verizon Wireless in NYC,
- has a QWERTY keyboard, and
- can be synced with a Mac.
So, I looked and didn't see any obvious choices.
- VZW lists 13 phones with QWERTY keyboards,
- Apple lists iSync compatible devices, but
- there were no overlaps that I could find.
However, for some Palms (according to the Apple iSync device page):
- third party software ("Missing Sync" from mark/space) is
required, but
- the only VZW-mark/space overlap I could find was for the Palm 700p.
I find it hard to believe that there are so few choices. Does
anyone out there have any suggestions, or specific experience with
any devices, that would help satisfy those three basic requirements?
Thanks!
