Hi,

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to PDA's, smartphones, and what the current capabilities are. I have some requirements in mind and am wondering if a single device, or combination of devices currently exists which is capable of meeting my requirements. Would be grateful if some of you knowledgeable guys could comment.

Thanks,
Dredd.

1. Decent speed Internet access (GPRS/G3?)to enable PPTP VPN connection to customer firewalls, then run RDP/ICA thin client sessions to perform remote support, etc.

2. Ability to receive "pushed" email/new message notifications from a corporate email server, e.g. Exchange 2003.

3. Ability to view and modify shared/workgroup calendars on corporate email server, in real time if possible.

4. Bluetooth which works and is easy to configure/reliable!! Ability to be used by another device (e.g. laptop) as a 3G/GPRS/dial-up modem over bluetooth for general Internet access plus PPTP VPN and thin client as in point 1.

5. Easy and reliable connectivity for bluetooth headset (pref from same manufacturer so same charger can be used for device and headset).

6. Ability to "ActiveSync" with another device (e.g. laptop) over Bluetooth.

7. Ability to transfer files (e.g. MP3) to and from another device (e.g. laptop) over Bluetooth using simple explorer type interface.

8. GPS options.
