Email Marketing Software

I’m in the market for a PDA. My plan (months ago) was to buy the Axim x51v from Dell. It ran MS, which I’m familiar with. I need it to check a web-based email (so wireless internet is a must) and to manage my web-based calendar. I’ll also store documents, etc. I learned today that the Axims are not being made any longer.

I’m doing research and am finding that the MS-based PDAs don’t have very strong battery power, and some don’t even have a battery that you can change out (you have to charge the whole PDA). I’m not familiar with Palm software at ALL, and would much prefer to use MS, but I’m wondering if there are any PDA experts out there who can recommend one over the other and explain why.

I’m looking at the Axim x51v (on ebay), the Pharos 325e, and the Palm TX handheld. Any thoughts on any of these three? I’m very open to suggestions other than these 3 as well, but I do NOT want a PDA mixed with a phone because I often need to be on my phone and PDA at the same time.

But i really wanna know is there a way to put pics using the usb connection.

Blackberry synchronization allows address book to synch with Outlook Express, but even the newest version doesn’t specify Windows Email, the free email software which is included with Vista. Anybody know how to make this work?

Where can I find a service or software that will call my mobile phone when I get an important email? I am not looking for sms alerts, I want the actual phone to ring with an incoming call and then either tell me I have a new email or read me the email over the phone.

- I prefer if it can be done via push email
- working links and no log-in/registration required would also be appreciated
