Did you ever try the Handspring Treo 270c? Unlike on the new Treo600 there is no camera and SDIO for Bluetooth, but the connection with MacOS (8, 9 and X) works great, especially via Palm Desktop. The ability to keep the categories from the Mac side is essential for me, as I routinely move more than 8000 addresses from the Mac (originating in Hypercard) within a few minutes via USB to my Treo270c, my Palm Tungsten i710 (W) and hopefully soon to my new Treo600.
Also the lack of software for Symbian (not even  one decent database program yet!) compared to the PalmOS makes a PalmOS based smartphone a much better choice for me.
