Clamshell to replace Audiovox 5600 Functionality? bluepost22 06-02-2006

 Is there a small clamshell phone that does
Outlook sync of contacts and calendar -- that
is a full sync of all contact fields including
the (possibly large) variable length "notes" field
in the contact record?

To get this functionality am I constrained to
the Windows Mobile world?

I don't need a camera or ipod in my phone.

I'd like to replace my Audiovox 5600, the current
version from Cingular being the Cingular 2125.

The 5600 does what I need, but I'm really tired
of it unlocking itself in my pocket, calling
the last person called in the call log, and then
basically acting as a "bug" in my jeans.

This is a problem with any candy
bar, but I thought keylock would work. It
doesn't. If the 5600 has a large pocket all
to itself it is probably ok.

It unlocks itself in your pocket? How is this possible? I keep mine in
my pocket a lot with no problem.

I assume that the unlock key gets depressed putting
the phone only 1 press of the # key from unlocking. As an
example, I just took my thumb and rubbed it from the unlock
key diagonally across the keyboard towards the # key. The
phone unlocked.

Try settting a password that is longer than one key. The likelihood of 3 or
4 keys all getting hit in the right order is pretty slim. I've never had my
5600 unlock in my pocket. Of course, the compromise is that it will take
you a little longer to unlock the phone.

On my 5600 I have to depress the left softkey twice. First to "wakeup"
the phone, then to start the unlock sequence, then depress the # key
within the allowed time limit. The odds of this sequence happening
randomly in my pocket seem astronomical. A more likely senario is
forgetting to lock the keyboard before slipping it into my pocket, which
I have done numerous times.
