Ok - two things:

1. I have Exchange Server 2003 @ work.

2. I use Epocrates with my job, and it’s a WM/Palm OS app only at this point, so the Blackberry’s are out.

One thing I noticed with the Q9m, was that the phone doesn’t have inherent WiFi. Which makes syncing @ work more “difficult”… I’d probably have to rely on airtime instead - and since Verizon is now being picky about d/l volume/bandwidth, I don’t want to use that excessively.

So - Verizon being the laggard with new phones, I’d love to see the new Treo 755wx or 6800 before I get a new phone, but so far, it looks like either the Samsung (which also has WM6) or the 700wx are the pics to beat.

Are you not planning on getting unlimited data plan??? I’d strongly recommend against that.

If you are then airtime is not an issue.

If you are planning on using wi-fi on any of these phones be prepared to have your battery die in 4-5 hours… using wi-fi instead of evdo to sync is a bad call.
