Does anyone know any phone/pda combo that works with t-mobile?
Thanks
Thanks
Otherwise, hunting around for any unlocked phone that has the PDA functions you want should suffice as well.
(Palm One) said:Our "unlocked" GSM Treo 680 smartphone works with almost any GSM/GPRS/EDGE network worldwide, so you can use it with your existing GSM/GPRS/EDGE service plan. Or use it overseas with additional international service from your service provider or a new SIM from an international service provider. Perfect for the frequent international traveler.
NOTE: Please call your mobile phone service provider to make sure their service is compatible with phones that run on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE network before purchasing an unlocked GSM Treo 680 smartphone.
if you really want to stay with T-mobile it looks like the T-mobile Dash is your only option (windows only though). blackberry's don't offer medical software to my knowledge.
if you really want a smartphone I suggest cingular, sprint, verizon for their options.
It's not that I don't like the Dash, it actually has a pretty cool form factor, I just don't know enough about it to give a whole hearted recommendation for it. I do not know if it has a touch screen or not which I personally consider mandatory for these devides. Next, I believe it runs on windows PPC which for me is a minus.
if it does have a touch screen though and runs windows allowing you to add enough 3rd party med software then it should be a decent smartphone for the wards.
if you get it please let us know your thoughts.
and in terms of preference, if you search around you'll see I'm clearly biased to the treo with palm OS (650 for me)
ok, just did some looking and it turns out NO touch screen and NO ability to modify documents (word, excel, powerpoint) once they are loaded onto the Dash. all big CONS in my book, the one plus is that it does have WiFi. however this isn't enough to outweigh the negatives for me.
They have a successor to the Wizard (8125 on Cingular), the 8525, and it is a solid device as well. I would highly recommend it.I've had the HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA) since last May. It's been good to me, and I haven't had any problems with it. I definitely think the Wizard is a solid choice if you decide to go that route.

You can purchase the TyTN directly from HTC or get an "unlocked" model to use on T-Mobile.True, the HTC TyTN looks mighty sweet. Too bad it's a Cingular exclusive...

This is fairly accurate. Access did recently show off a prototype of the ALP OS at CeBit, but that doesn't mean much. What can be said for sure is that the Palm OS as you know it is dead and will never receive another major OS revision.1) Is it true that Palm OS is getting too old, and that the promised Palm 6.0 has been delayed time and time again with no end to the wait in sight?
That's a tough question to answer without knowing exactly what you need/expect/want out of a platform.What criteria should I be using here to judge these OSes? I've never used a PDA, so I'm not used to either one.
UMTS is kinda seen as last gen. by now, you should be asking "Is HSDPA (or EVDO-Rev A) really necessary?" and that all depends on what you want to use your PDA for. If you plan to tether it to your laptop as a main source of internet or you plan on surfing/downloading a lot on your PDA then I would say "Yes" otherwise it won't really matter.2) Is UMTS broadband really necessary (or highly beneficial)? Should it matter to me?

Question...
So if I get a Treo, and I have T-Mobile, do I need to unlock it?
Will my sim card work?
