In addition to Dan's request, I am also thinking of upgrading in
February. Currently my phone is a Treo650. I've been using a Palm for
my PDA shortly after they first came out.  The Nokia 810 seems to be a
good fit, but I don't know that much about how it syncs with both Linux
and Windows. The features I currently use are:
phone, calendar, address book, memos, and tasks. The Nokia 810 uses
Maemo.  I may want to use it for email and net access on a trip I will
be taking in April, but I can also take my laptop for that. Upgrading
to a newer model PalmTreo (with Palm OS) is also a strong possibility.
