This time you are doing your homework, maybe give Palm some consideration.
I've owned a Palm Treo 650 for 5 months. It's a great tool. I got away
from windows by buying backup software that runs from SD memory and
backs up to SD too. I copy the SD card(s) to three more backups just
to be safe. I'm not a heavy user of talk time or surfing. I sometimes
go 2.5 days with out charging. Sync-ing is not important to my needs
because the quarty keyboard is fast.
My 650 will, email, surf, games, MP3, watch movies, calculator,
several converters(temp distance mass etc.), camera, movie camera,
contacts, calendar, watch, alarm clock, SMS, Plus plus plus.....
My favorite SMS number is "46645" Google. It's the only 5 digit phone
number I know of, and it returns some useful results from Google.
