Since we're talking hypothetically ...
What _would_ be a good "non-smart" phone that still has decent PIM
capabilities and can sync off the PC?
And, what qualifies as "decent"?
- address book?
- calendar?
- keyboard?
by "non-smartphone", in my case, I'm talking about having some basic
clamshell or candybar phone that does just that; make phone calls. The
PDA/PIM would be a separate device (the way I had been doing things
now). Since that category of device is no longer being made, I'm
looking to move to a computer-based PIM that is able to print to a
small, flexible & portable format (such as a DayRunner size 2 or 3).
Granted, if the Archos 28 had a PIM app, and had the ability to sync to
your local computer, having the extra capability of being a media player
would be acceptable (it's in the right price range). Unfortunately, the
development of such functionality would be a couple years off, even if
such a project started right now. So in the interim I still figure a
paper-capable system is still needed.
