What is your choice? I, personally, still think the Palm PIM suite is the best I have used on a mobile device. Even the latest phones seem to be much weaker in this aspect.

To qualify for me a PIM must have contacts,calendar,todo/task,notes

Of course I have not used many others so I am curious to hear other opinions

Symbian, Iphone, RIM, ....?

For me, the Palm TX is still #1.
I tried to make the N810 replace it, but ended up going back to the Palm TX.

DateBK by Pimlico is the best PIM I've seen so far.

How I wish there was a good PIM for the tablet! But as it is I still use my T5 for PIM and the tablet is merely a toy.

Symbian 60 ser. 3 has served me well a couple of years, especially with the "Search" program.
Palm seems to have about the same functionality.

Why not run Palm within your IT, using Garnet VM ?
On my N810 I can use the keyboard with Palm.

This is easy, pi-sync for the Zaurus. Effectively KOrganizer on a pda http://kontact.kde.org/korganizer/

I can't see how anything even comes close.

But then you could say that for most of the software for the Zaurus.

Because it doesn't work. The VM is very unstable and blows up, taking all your apps and data with it, when an alarm goes off.

KOrganizer wasn't meant for a PDA and works very poorly on it. I have a Zaurus SL-C760 and KOrg was extremely cumbersome to use.

My personal opinion - and that shared (AFAICT) by anyone who ever used it - EPOC R5, as seen in the Psion Revo, Series 5(mx), Series 7 and netBook:

Revo screenshots (lower res than on the other devices):



netBook (a bit bigger ;-)):

That is a matter of opinion. I have a SL-C1000 and get on fine with it. It would be better on an N800 size screen but that is not the software's fault.

Thanks for the tip, I had considered trying it myself.
Guess I 'll stay symbian for a while.

( I use Garnet for bokreading, library e-books are coded (in Sweden) and Mobipocket/Palm is the only decoding reader I have found.)
