I'm looking for a PDA with a QWERTY keyboard that I can hook to my cell phone with a cable. The TREO 90 looks perfect, except that the "shipping date" for the cable has been pushed back several times and I'm not feeling confident that it will ever appear.
The Sharp also has the keyboard, but they tell me it won't work with a cell phone. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks

I think some of the Sony models have keyboards, like the NR70... but I am not sure about the cable aspect. Check their site or any PDA site. Pocket PCs can now use full-screen software keybaords that are quite excellent for some purposes. Not sure if/how RIM Blackberrys would fit in but they may since the 5810 has voice/PDA features.

Sony tells me that the they can't work with a cell phone, and neither does the Blackberry. I'm using a Blackberry now, and love the wireless access - when I am in an area where there is coverage. However, I need to be able to use the cell when I am outside the coverage area. Had an IPAQ, and wasn't too thrilled with the onscreen keyboard. Besides that, I'm looking for something smaller than the pocket PCs. Just wanted to check to see if there is something out there I wasn't aware of.
Thanks

Would that work for you?
