Jane, I currently plan to buy a smartphone and research the same subject. * I am a long-time user of The Missing Sync (Sony Clies), and it works like a charm. I can not remember one malfunction in approx. 5 years of use. * Mark/Space plans a Symbian-version, which is the OS of choice for many phones from Sony-Ericsson and Nokia. That widens your phone options considerably. * Palm has smartphone out called the Centro, currently in the US only for Sprint. It has been announced as a gsm-phone as well, and may also be a contestant. (I have to say though that I normally buy my phones as tri-band unlocked in Europe and swap sim-cards depending on where I am. That typically gives more hardware options). * When I recently mentioned David Pogue¹s comment about Windows Mobile in the NYT that no smartphone should ever show a ³wait² cursor, all the Windows Mobile users in the room moaned and groaned. One kept tapping on his phone with much irritation. From what I hear from users, WM seems to a bad choice. Blackberry, as Kurt mentioned, could be another option.
Please let us know what you decide upon and how you fared, will you?
