I'm considering upgrading my mobile.
Having been with Nokia for most of my mobile life, I'm getting frustrated with their phones firmware (great when you first use them, but like Windows they just get slower and slower with use; it now takes me several seconds to open the Messaging application on my N82). And I've never had any real joy connecting the Nokia to my Linux box.
The trick with Nokia's is to get something from the E (business) range and avoid the N (consumer) range. As they tend to be more robust (both in terms of software and hardware).
I don't think my E71 has ever crashed or shown any signs of slowdown despite having a boatload of 3rd party apps installed.
Well that's certainly not true of mine. Several times it has go into a state where whatever you do it says "Out of memory, shut down some applications and try again". There were no applications running at all and checking memory showed loads of memory free. A reset sorted it out but bug-free it isn't. A Google search showed up lots of other people with the "Out of Memory" issue.
Not sure about linux sync. I think it was possible via evolution wasn't it ? Mine erm *cough* syncs everything over the network to an Exchange server.
Via a Funambol server.
