what phone???

Jun 8, 2006 12:35PM PDT

i'm looking to buy a new phone from verizon. i currently have a blackberry, but my biggest qualm with it is that i cant sync it up with my mac. i have a powerbook and an imac and i cant stand being able to use them together. im looking at a pda style phone and i am considering the motorola q, the treo 700p smartphone, samsung sch-i730, and the verizon wireless xv6700. anybody have any experience with any of these and linking them up with a mac? any info is greatly appreciated. trying to get the phone as soon as possible. thanks guys.

I don't have a cell phone but I do have a number of Mac's.
I would take a look at the MarkSpace website at
http://www.markspace.com/

They have a list of compatible phones and PDA's that, with their software, will sync nicely with the Mac.

As to which Verizon phone you should get, have you tried asking Verizon about such things.
Currently it looks like there are no Mac users who own Verizon phones!
Margin of error on that poll is 100% either way
