PDAs
I am looking for input on PDAs. I need to remain on AT&T system and want a PDA that will sync with a Database program called ACT!. The PDA I like the best (iPhone) will not. Need a PDA from one of the following families: BlackBerry, Windows Mobile Smartphones or with Windows operating system of at least 5 or Mobile Poket PC again of at least 5 or Treo Smartphones with Windows Mobile.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also if you have had experience with GPS in one that also. Thanks friends.

I probably spent about 4 hours checking out the iPhone and went to buy it this past Saturday. Waited and waited and finally said ok Lord what is it and walked out the store. Came back home and did a search on the most important need of syncing with ACT! and found it over and over it just could not handle ACT!. Bummer...Did find there is some action suppose to be going on with Apple and ACT!. Might end up just makes most sense to give it some time there. From further searches am getting the impression Blackberry is the better business device.
Hey Murf, the cooking and banking app, I call it "myWife" seldom more than an arm length from me also. She has good software but does freeze up at times. The best models often come from the "country girl" line up.

Murf, if the iPhone will work that will greatly please me. But the best I have found even from ACT!'s site it works only with the 2010 Version and then only the Cooperate Package. Based upon other post about ACT! and the iPhone one point made was the iPhone does not or will not seaarch by Company name. THat is one of my biggest needs to be able to search by company name and all part of that company be together.
For fact want a PDA that will work well with ACT! for even the HP iPAC currently used is a pain at times. ACT! does not recoginize it all the time somehow and it ends up duplicating database and moving appts back by 2 hours.

Ted, Murf, I appreciate your help and Ken's. I had talked with Companion link just before opening this. The best I could understand was not sure what they meant. 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. Funny thing their suggestion was do the free trial. Great if I was not trying to be sure on pda before buying it.
I like tractors...much rather hook and unhook the 3pth is much easier than finding out if your product works with this pda or this one and how.

Murf, help me here.
I understand that the iPhone will not search by Company name. I take that to me if you have say Jeffery in there with his company name of Earthwrks you could not search for Earthwrks. So if old Jeffery hired let's say Frank and I wanted to put him in there as employee of Earthwrks and do a search for Earthwrks thinking it would pull both of them it would not.
I talked with a friend this evening who uses the iPhone and he said if it would do so he was not sure. He pulled it out and did a quick look at the contacts and think he tried to do a search but not 100% sure even though he did it right in front of me. He said he did not think it would. Now he has not had it long and he could be missing something.
Your input is really appreciated.
