Best Smart phone/PDA phone

I'm spending more time on the road now with work and feel it's time for a PDA/Smart Phone as I hate missing emails when away, lord knows im clueless as to whats about, I'd like wifi, sat nav built in and bluetooth.

I'm also unsure as to go for one with a touch screen keyboard or a keyboard that slides out etc, so a proper keyboard I mean, any advice or recommendations please.

Thanks

Re: Best Smart phone/PDA phone

I got an Orange SPV M3100 a few months ago and absolutely love it. I've now got it hooked up to the car stereo and also use it for music in the car.

Funny thing is I chose this phone because of the keyboard, but never use it. I've got so used to using the touchscreen.

So if I was choosing again I might go for a slightly less bulky phone and give up the keyboard.


regards

Brian

The M3100 doesn't but I believe the new replacement does.

Here's an article about the HTC version

My vote still goes for the Palm Treo 750. For me, it's still the best one hand operated phone with a full QWERTY keyboard.
