There are many threads here that discuss various issues related to mobile phones or PDAs or (more recently) SmartPhones. But, bottom line, ultimate question is: WHICH ONE LOVES UBUNTU? WHICH ONE RECOGNIZES AND SYNC WITH UBUNTU EASILY?
So, for those experienced: please, help us ignorants, and tell us what would be the best SmartPhone to bye? Palm, iPAQ or BlackBerry?
Palm seems to do well with Linux, in general. Also, there are some iPAQs that can run Familiar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar_Linux), which can "fall in love" with Ubuntu easily. Finally, BlackBerry is well supported with Google and one can sync Ubuntu with Google and Google with BlackBerry. Some additional interesting possibilities are offered by Motorola with A780, A1200 etc. But, it seems that those Linux-based SmartPhones are to be synced with the Windows (it is almost sarcastic, to my opinion).
Best,
PM
