I have a SonyEricsson P990i Symbian based phone, it has a large screen and most of the features you need. Whilst I haven't connected it to my linux box for more than USB Disk mode transfers a quick Google reveals that it can be made to sync with Evolution. http://devel.reinikainen.net/content/view/48/40/ Secondly a plugin for iSync on the Mac has recently been released and can be downloaded from SonyEricsson. I purchased an IMAP mail programme for 17 Euros as the built-in email programme is very basic and doesn't support IMAP folders. The phone has Inra-red, Wireless and Bluetooth and the UK variant supports 3G and GPRS data services. You will unfortunately need windows in order to update the Phone firmware, unless of course you can persuade a SonyEricsson dealer to do this for you. Early version of the firmware were a bit buggy, but since upgrade it has been very stable. Hope that helps. -- David Bottrill [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet Free World Dialup: 683864 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
