[OT] Smartphones

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 My account is eligible for a new phone this month. My old Treo650, 
while quite beaten up, is still very serviceable. I would love to have 
a Linux based smartphone, but they don't exist. I've looked at a couple 
of Palm OS phones, such as the Treo 680. The only additional feature I 
would like is built-in GPS. Builtin WiFi is a plus. Unfortunately, only 
the Treo 680 has PalmOS. The rest have Windows Mobile. 

Do nothing and continue to use my existing 650. 
Samsung BlackJack 
Palm Treo 680 
BlackBerry Pearl 
BlackBerry Curve 8310 
AT&T Tilt 

The BlackBerry Curve 8310 and AT&T Tilt have builtin GPS receivers. 

Some questions on Windows Mobile sync on Linux AFAIK, there is no 
problem syncing with Synce on Linux. But, one think I like about jpilot 
is the use of the PalmOS memo pad, but I can live with Kontact or 
Evolution. One reason for upgrading is that I will be doing more 
traveling this spring.
