Hi. I am new to the world of PDA's and need some serious help. I have never even held a PDA, so I am a total virgin here. Verizon is my carrier, but that can change if necessary.

My current phone is a chocolate. Its broken and I find myself wanting/needing more features for when I upgrade. I am not a novice to syncing the phone and such.. I made all my own walls and ringtones for my chocolate, used bitpim to mod my phone, etc.. so I'm not a total noob

My profession is freelance photographer. I carry a huge camera bag and lots of gear with me, tripod, etc... and my laptop (to edit and transfer photos to my publisher).. I'm getting older and its hard on me to carry all this into the field, I am kinda looking to leave the laptop at hotel and use a PDA out in the field to let the publisher see what I am working on until I get back to my hotel room, then I can do proper editing on my laptop. If this is even possible.. with MicroSD and windows on a PDA I just can't see how its not.

Here is what I need:

• WiFi - I do not want to pay data charges.
• If it has a camera, it needs to have flash.. I just can't see the point of no flash on a camera
• I need a qwerty keyboard with larger sized buttons and ample room cause I have sausages for fingers.
• I prefer a flip open, but a slide/glide is ok as long as the qwerty keys are easily accessible.
• Accessories for driving like Speakerphone, Bluetooth, Car Mount, etc
• Stability. If open or glide, must be stable on a table to type

Here is what I want:

• As a photographer, it would be great to transfer images to a PDA, either by a microSD (my camera already uses the regular SD card, so I could put the microSD in the adapter, shoot with it, then put them on the phone via MicroSD? or by some type of usb cable from camera to PDA? Please tell me this is possible?
• I know this is probably impossible.. but a photoshop type program? minor editing, cropping, resizing before emailing? IF I even can put my photos on a phone to begin with.
• Word, games, music and such.. other windows apps.. like being able to connect to my home pc from the road - remote I think thats called.
• Something with a decent amount of memory/space. Enough that I can store images, etc on the phone.
• Text to speech would be great, for text messages while I am driving down the road and such..
• Ability to play videos from the SD card and something like youtube.
• I also love the touchscreen keyboard on the iTouch. Its very handy.

I like the voyager but it has no wifi, I like iPhone but no cam or microsd and all that itunes mess.. I LOVE the older enV with the flip open and screen with speakers on the sides, but they were unstable on a table to try to type, and not wifi either. I love my sons iTouch, but it needs more programs, camera, phone lol..

I'm currently looking at the Samsung i760..... please, suggest away. I am a few months away from purchasing and will need help to make a decision. Thank you for any help!!
