Hi the main uses of the new smartphone I will need will be microsoft outlook syncronisation (ie when contacts are added to the phone, outlook will update itself when the phone is connected and vica versa), web browsing, alerts of emails, sending emails, good recepption, Mac compatibility and wifi but i obviously dont want to pay too much, could someone please advise me on which one to buy.
Thanks
Daniel

I do not know anything about the blackberry's, but I own a Tilt and I love it. It does everything and more than you need. It has WiFi, I am not sure if the others do or not. Now the Tilt is definately a heavier phone. So you know it is there. It is about 6 oz which is like a hockey puck. That is really my only knock against it. But you name it and it does it.

I would stick with a Smartphone (anything that uses windows mobile as an operating system) or an iPhone. where you have a mac. you might wanna lean towards the iPhone

It is now October 2008. What are your thoughts on the AT&T Tilt 8925? I need to sync with my PC which is Windows, VISTA Outlook. Not needing all the Internet, Music, GPS or IM, but rather a quality phone that syncs my calendar. Thoughts?

IMO the BB works best if you or your company uses exchange, outside of that the only perks are the GPS. I've used both and like them equally, my first impression of a BB was it was sometimes hard to navigate through the settings to find what options I wanted to change. If you don't use exchange I would go with a WM device, something WITH a full qwerty keyboard. I have also used the iPhone extensively but have always had a hard time adjusting to the built in keyboard. The WM platform should be able to handle everything you need but the devices are generally a bit more expensive, but you save on the data plan.
