Need a handheld/cell phone device - see Requirements

Mar 31, 2005 1:10AM PST

Requirements:
- wireless phone
- MS Outlook capability
- MS Excel, Word and PowerPoint suite
- speakerphone
- Internet access
- infrared synch to my office laptop

I used to have Palm as a handheld (not cell phone) and had several problems with the screen.

What do you recommend?

Thanks,
Tinski

No PDA or Cell phone runs these full up Microsoft applications. Maybe you meant that you could view/edit such documents on scaled down versions of such software, but that's not what you wrote.

Simple solution, buy a PC Card wireless modem from you provider and hold your laptop next to your ear.

Funny. I guess I am a bit visionary. Will just need to wait another couple of years for technology to catch up.
