From: LeAnn on 26 Apr 2008 14:03 I would like some feedback on phones. I have Verizon service, Windows Vista home, Outlook 2007. My old Axim PDA has finally died. I would like to replace it with a 'Smartphone. My needs are minimal. I really don't have to have internet or email access (though it would be nice to have); but do HAVE to sync with Outlook for calendar, tasks, notes etc. Recommendations would be appreciated.

I'm surprised no one else has answered by now. Any Windows Mobile phone sold by Verizon will meet your stated criteria. You _may_ be able to use a phone not sold by Verizon. But you will need a phone that uses CDMA, rather than GSM; Verizon and Sprint use CDMA, ATT/Cingular and T-Mobile use GSM, and the technologies are not compatible. I'm not sure whether CDMA phones are available unlocked, the way GSM phones are. I know that you will need to have Verizon activate your new phone. For some good summaries of features, see Chris De Herrera's site: www.pocketpcfaq.com Windows Mobile includes PDAs and phones. The names changed recently. Pocket PC / Classic uses a stylus, but has no phone. Smartphone / Standard does not use a stylus, but does have a phone. Pocket PC Phone Edition / Professional uses a stylus, and has a phone. ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).
