I am researching the same thing. So far, I am more likely to buy a phone with Windows Mobile, Phone Edition than a smartphone. Call me crazy, but I just don't want to relinquish the touchscreen. I would like to get one of the versions of the HTC Magician or maybe even one of the slightly bigger models. It would be nice if Siemens hadn't decided to flee the cell phone business, because the Siemens SX66 quickly disappeared from all the Cingular sites. That was just about perfect. It was quad band, had WM2003SE, a slide out thumbboard, and just about everything else I might want except a VGA screen.

If anyone has used a tri-band GSM PPC phone in the South on Cingular, let me know. I'm interested to see if only having the 1900MHz band is enough to maintain decent reception.
