Hi folks,
Anyone out there use a smartphone? I am looking for a blackberry or
treo or something -- something that combines palm-like functions with
a cell phone. I love my old palm Vx (battry dying though) so a PalmOS
device would be nice (graffitti even better!). But obviously the main
criterion is that it has to Play Nice With Linux! I mostly use Debian
or Ubuntu, with xfce or Gnome -- so something that syncs to
Evolution would be great (I suppose I can consider moving over to KDE
if there is some great advantage).
SO what are the options?
Thanks,
Matt

We have been developing a Blackberry tool that runs in Linux. We have a
developer devoting two days a week to the project and we are getting quite
a few web sites hits on it.
Check out <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry/</A> and
<A HREF="http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/index.php">http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/index.php</A>
Currently it is a library and command line tool that is successfully backing
up and restoring several of the blackberry databases. It works on three of the
recent blackberry models that we have and we expect that it would work on
all of the current models.
