Best mobile / cell phone for GTD?

Hi all,

I'm going to upgrade my trusty nokia 6230i this weekend as I'm out of contract. I'm looking for recomendations for a good phone that I can use the calendar and tasks management during the day to sync with kGTD via iCal at home.

At the moment I don't really use either feature in the phone as the screen is too small and fiddly, and the tasks management is just poor. Instead I 'sync' to moleskin day-planner calendar and index cards over breakfast.

Any good experiences with mobile phones and GTD? I've allways had nokia phones: I like my UI quick, simple and clutter-free, but I am willing to switch brands if the recommendation is strong... I had considered a treo... any thoughts?

thanks all,
Matt Wynne

I'm holding out for the T-Mobile Dash coming next Wednesday. I've been a Blackberry user for a while now, but have always missed the camera!!

I use a hybrid digital/analog system using the phone mostly for contacts and calendaring and paper for capture and action lists.

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
