I have a Handspring Treo 300. I chose it because it is 
PDA-phone-emailer-webbrowser all in one, and when I was looking there 
weren't as many choices in that niche as there are now. It is 
Palm-based, and syncs just fine. The PDA part of it is solid as a rock.

I would not jump to recommend it. The phone is clunky, the built-in 
browser (Blazer) is non-Java and slow, and the only carrier that 
supports it is Sprint, whose coverage in Louisville is spotty at best. 
Mine seized up completely twice; the first time a hard reset fixed it, 
the second time Sprint replaced it.

If you are interested in a combo unit, there are newer, more elegant 
designs than Handsprings. Sony-Erricson looks to me like the way to go 
in that market.
