I researched this when I went looking for my new phone. I was interested in 
the level of compatibility with Linux that these units offered. 

The resounding answer I found was "zero"

So I bought a Treo 600. Palm based.

Everything works. Everything syncs, Treo --> Kontact --> Groupware. Backups 
work.


I hope you find information that I did not, for your sake. The blackberry 
units are nice.
