PDAs
Kenn, PDA is sort of a obsolete term. It literally means Personal Digital Assisstant. This term arose in 'the old days', back when a fax machine was on top of the technology heap.
You remember? Back when cell phones were the size of a shoe box and weighed 10 pounds?
Today a 'smart phone' and a 'PDA' are about the same thing.
I personally agree with Ken, I have a Palm Treo, several in fact, and an iPhone. The iPhone is rarely further than an arms length from me. The Palm Treo's make sure my desk drawer never fly off into space in the case gravity ever fails. I trust the good Lord to look after gravity, and depend on the iPhone.
Aside from all of that, I find there are a HUGE list of applications (there's an "app" for that) help with nearly everything I do, most especially flying!, but right down to cooking and banking.
I don't know what I would do without it, literally.
'Nuff said.
Best of luck.

Kenny,
I think you're confusing two different terms, 'runs' and 'supports'. You cannot run ACT! by Sage on an iPhone, but it certainly does support it.
You need an intermediary piece of software, an 'interpreter' if you will. The most widely used is "CompanionLink Express" which will import all of your ACT! contacts and information into your BlackBerry, Apple iPhone, Palm Pre, Windows Mobile, Palm OS, and Google Android smart phones.
I tried a Blackberry, didn't like it at all, IMHO clumsy to use and far to restrictive, small screen, poor resolution, awkward controls, not much software, certainly not for what I wanted it to do. Also no comparison in terms of memory size either!
Best of luck.

Kenny, I don't use ACT! anymore, haven't for some 10+ years, so I don't know much about it anymore.
I think the site below will give you some better information than I can.
Best of luck.

Was told could not have company name and them field for employee. If so then could not do a search for company and end up with all employees there. That is no good. Then was told well could have primary contact with second contact which could be company and then employee.

I preface this with a reminder as stated previously, I don't use ACT!, but, as my gal will vouch for, I have an iPhone everywhere I go!
I can search using the iPhones built in search function by any word, it will bring me up any spot where that word appears on my phone, emails, contacts, programs, anywhere!
I routinely search by name of company, in my case there are companies and various Governments we deal with on a regular basis. I can search by the name of the Government (City or County name) or by company name and get a list of everyone associated with that, including incoming & outgoing emails if I so desire.
I suggest you find a (not so busy) store that sells them, or find a person nearby who uses one and understands it, it is a very powerful device.
It's so customizable it will move my alarm clocks and reminders ahead or back based on the weather, to allow increased travel times!
Even the 'iWife' can't do that..... yet.
Best of luck.

Murf, help me here.I understand that the iPhone will not search by Company name.

Negative. You've got that the wrong way round.
It will search by any field I choose. First or last name, company, of a long list of "custom" fields such as Prefix, Phonetic first or last name, Middle name, Suffix, Nickname, Job title, Department, Birthday, Date, or Notes.
So, using your example of the "Earthwrks" company, I could search by Jeff, Jeffy, Circles, Redneck, Frilly tassles, Katrina, etc., etc., etc.
Once you joined the firm I could search by Kenny, Kenneth, Thanksgiving dinner, Pit BBQ, Carolina, Low country, etc., etc., etc.
Best of luck.
