Good Contact Management and Lists
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: JStandard

Hello,
I've been looking at upgrading from your standard free flip phone.
The main things I'm looking for are:
- Great contact mgmt, especially for entering notes about contacts
- Good list management, grocery lists, idea lists, etc.
- Using Google apps, especially gmail and gcal
- One or two clicks to get to what I want

secondaries are:
- Web browsing
- Wifi
- plenty of free 3rd party apps
- 3g

Stuff that doesn't matter much:
- MP3 playing
- Camera
- GPS

I've narrowed it down to these phones, but have only had the chance of playing around with Windows Mobile and BB based contact mgmt. BB seemed alright, WM seemed pretty cumbersome to scroll through 600 fields to get to the notes section.

- Sidekick LX (untried)
- Sidekick Slide (untried)
- Blackberry Curve (tried, seemed good for typing, email, contacts = so-so)
- IPhone (tried, really liked goog integration but virtual keyboard = so-so)
- TMobile Shadow (untried)
- TREO 700 (I considered but a few people mentioned they crash/hang a lot)

Any recommendations in light of the points I made above? Feel free to propose any not on this list.

Really appreciate the help, I don't know much about smart phones.
