Hmmm, this is a tricky one. I just received my Sendo X which does all
the things you mention.

I say its tricky, because the phone is far from perfect. There are
lots of little bugs, some bigger than others, but it depends on how
you intend to use your phone.

I had a Palm Tungsten T, which I mainly used for calender, contacts,
and avantgo, to read news. My main requirement was to get a
"smartphone" that would do these things, so I could carry one
device
instead of 2. It does a raft of other stuff too, like camera /
camcorder, RealOne player, MP3 player, great stereo speakers, "speaker
independent voice recognition", syncs with outlook express etc, etc...

For me the hot swappable SD card was a big plus too.

On the down side, the documentation is awful, some features are a bit
slow, its just not as perfect as you would hope. But I'm still a
satisfied user :)

It does bluetooth, and from http://www.apple.com/isync/devices.html
it
appears to sync with isync [http://tinyurl.com/4vvel]

If you require more information look on the Sendo X forum, although
take whats there with a pinch of salt, I think these types of forums
attract a certain kind of person (I'll say no more)

Hope this helps :)
