No idea what to suggest, but am curious to know: Did he introduce you to PDAs,
or was it the other way around?

All,
My dad has been a long-time Palm PDA and Treo user. His aging 755p is
dying and he needs to move to a new phone, so I thought I'd ask here
for suggestions.
First, let me be clear, he does NOT want anything that requires a data
plan. So, that rules out all webOS and Android devices that I know
of.
Here's his use case:
- Has to be a great phone (he makes a lot of calls)
- His most important data-centric "app" is contacts/phonebook
- Also relies on Calendar and memopad regularly
- Is currently on Verizon, but can move to any carrier
- He travels a lot, so can't rely on Wi-Fi for anything cloud-based
He likes physical keyboards, but also knows Grafitti; I imagine him
putting up with a virtual keyboard if he had to, but the screen would
have to be pretty big (he's not young).
Any suggestions on specific devices would be really welcome.
Thanks.
