Smartphone purchase.

Similar to "stonetab", I am also about to purchase a smartphone. I have always been a Palm (and original Newton) user and currently have a Treo 650. I need to replace it but have questions:

1. If I stick with Palm, 700p or 755?

2. Is Palm still better than MS Windows Mobile as I could choose a Samsung i760?

3. What about BLack Berrys'? Do they have a enough medical software and are they an option?

Looking forward to responses. Thanks.

Re: Smartphone purchase.

Hi Hiker2424, what software apps do you run? Do you use email much, how about web browsing?

Blackberries have more medical software available nowadays so unless you need something specific.

Which operating system/phone type comes down to features and personal preference. What kind of features do you need? Wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS?
