Hi, guys...

OK - Here's my story - I just managed to crack the screen on my LG8000, so I think it's someone's way of telling me something.

What I have:

A palm pilot, Tungston T, with Bluetooth.
A (now cracked) LG 8000 on Verizon (with camera and video)
a T-mobile Sidekick

What I'd like...

A phone/palm/email device - with bluetooth - with multi-email ability - i.e., I have more than one email account, and the sidekick is able to get them all - 3 pop accounts on 3 different servers. I don't want to be a slave to outlook, I don't run Exchange.

I want the ability to IM, email, surf... In a perfect world, it would be an international phone, as well. It would be nice if it worked on the Verizon service, since I just remade my business cards again.

So what am I buying? A Treo? Is it Bluetooth? Can I connect it wirelessly to my car? To my laptop? Can I jack it right to my brain?

All comments welcome. Thanks!

At the moment I'd say the Samsung i730 would be your best option.

I'd also advise the Treo650, but I hate Palm devices, so I won't, but I could, as it would also be perfect for you.

However, the i730 DOES support Broadbandaccess so in places with coverage you'd get blazing fast wireless access. It'll do multiple accounts, has a decent browser and good IM clients. Sadly it won't work abroad, like pretty much every VZW phone.

It will connect to your cars handsfree system.

Hey Scott - any suggestions as to regular Verizon mobile phone? My employer is pushing me really heavy to switch to his Verizon account from ATT/Cingular. I currently have the SE T616.

I like the treo650, but could do without the camera. I am use to 'one hand' texting (of Nokia's w that great speller) so not to happy with the QWERTY keyboard. They could also do with a larger screen.
