I just found out that I'll regular cell phone access in my job, plus the PDA
connectivty to our Corp Wan.

I was going to go with an IPaq and some sort of CF or PCMCIA AirCard. But
now that I'm told they want me to have a cell phone as well, I'm wondering
on what's best.

1) PDA bluetoothed through a cell phone for its data connection, like an
IPaq h5555 through whatever phone...
2) PDA phone edition, like a Samsaung I700

Eric,

I'm very happy with my T-Mobile Pocket pc Phone ( the same as Siemens
sx56 ).
I am planning on getting the newest one, though, the MDA/XDA II. It's out in
EU,
but too expensive still here for me to buy now. ( > $800.00 @
tekntoys.com )

Problem with phones, as in smart or web enabled types cell phones, is that
you wind
up needing to connect to your laptop anyway to do anything other than simple
text based email. ( small screens and v eeeeery slow performance ) so I
ditched mine and got the t-mobile. The mda/xda II's are bluetooth enabled,
so that will
speedup the performance for faxing and things like that- the kind of stuff
that iritates me now.

Hopes this helps ya',

Wesley
