• I like the looks of the RAZR very much but others' comments above would put me off!  That and the fact Motorolla make it!

    I'm a PDA phone fan myself, and a Sony one at that, so I'm going to plead both their cases.  I understand concerns after the rootkit issue, but they really do make good phones (I also hate Motorollas as they've just never done it for me, and Nokias haven't been great for me in the past, and other brands have failed to impress).

    I've had a Sony Ericsson P900 for the past 18-20 months, and when I upgrade I'll be getting the newer version of that.  It's got a small flip panel with access to a touch screen that you use with a stylus, and can do everything through that, or you can do everything through the keypad with the flip closed.  You can also permanently remove the flip and only use the touch screen if you want (it can be replaced but you use a supplied tool to get it on and off).  It has a Memory Stick Duo slot which I have a 128Mb stick in, which does me fine.  Copying files to the PC is easy by Bluetooth or just taking the memory stick out (you can hot-swap when the phone's on unlike a lot of phones), and sync is easy too with the docking station & software that comes in the box with the phone.

    It runs on Symbian (which many don't like but I have no probs with), and does everything I need - phone with good address book, calendar/planner and other common PDA functions, MP3 player (just plug in the supplied handsfree headphones and switch on the music player) and camera functions.  If it doesn't have something you want, there are plenty of free Symbian applications you can install on it.

    Battery gives about 10 days standby and a fair few hours talk time, and is still performing well after 18-20 months of use.  Takes a couple of hours to charge and I just stick it on charge normally twice a week.

    I've just checked SE's US website and the nearest equivalent you guys can get is the (slightly better) P910a, which also has a keyboard inside the flip panel.
