Have had a fiddle with an O2 XDA Orbit and found the calendar function and pretty much the whole package to be brilliant and had a look to get one. Thing is I'd have to open a £40+ per month contract in order to get it free, but I already have a company contract (can't upgrade my current phone as it's a batch contract, everyone would have to have it).
I suppose then what i'm asking is, are there any other organisers around, similar to the XDA Orbit, (satnav is not important by the way) which wouldn't require a very expensive contract or would be relatively cheap to buy etc. Was looking at the blackberry range etc but don't know much about all these PDA's. I use iCal on Mac OSX which is brilliant but I wouldn't really expect many things to Sync with it as they would most likely be Windows based. Could anyone reccomend anything?,
Many thanks

For syncing with the Mac, try Missing Sync from Mark/Space. There are a few people selling the XDA Orbit on eBay for around £275 brand new if you want to get it that way. This gives you the option to get a contract that you are more comfortable in paying for.

Other options are T-Mobile MDA Compact 3 (same thing as the XDA), HTC Kaiser or the Palm Treo 750. All are Windows Mobile 5/6 devices.

Had a further look and i've been looking at the Toshiba Portege G500, has windows mobile, fingerprint sensor and is pretty small. Looks like a good package and £189.99 sim free. Looking for something like this. A relatively slim smartphone which is compatible with windows mobile applications. Not really interested in the very expensive overloaded smartphones. The XDA was great but out of my price range
