Well, since you're probably in the United States, you are limited mainly to the selection of AT&T and T-Mobile's devices. Verizon Wireless and Sprint and all the rest of the U.S. doesn't really use SIM Cards.

If you were to go ahead and get a PDA/Smartphone from another carrier, other than T-Mobile...you would need to search places like EBay and places that unlock devices. Unlocked devices cost 5 times more than that of a locked device. You may also be able to get international GSM devices from EBay, which may be more stylish...but also more expensive.

Here is a list of wifi devices available from AT&T (USA):

• AT&T 8100 Smartphone
• Applie iPhone 3G
• HP iPAQ Pocket PC h6320 Cell Phone
• RIM Blackberry Bold
• Blackberry Pearl 8120
• Blackberry Pearl 8100

*Other devices may exist. The devices above may also meet your standards as far as PowerPoint and other needed items. The iPhone is the only one I'm a little concerned about having everything you want.

Here is a list of wifi devices available from T-Mobile (USA):

• Samsung t339
• Samsung Katalyst
• Nokia 6301
• Nokia 7510
• Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220
• Blackberry Pearl 8120
• Blackberry Curve
• Blackberry 8820
• T-Mobile Shadow
• Blackberry Curve 8900 -- Coming Soon!

T-Mobile is known for being the leader in wifi. My personal opinion is find a good phone from them or one made for them (even if you don't buy it from them). They have unlimited wifi calling, if you use one of their wifi phones! I personally say go with T-Mobile's devices...don't pay the high unlocked phone prices.

I hate to bother everyone with one of these questions, but I wanted to know everyone's view on this, as it's hard to search for what phones are compliant with SIMS cards, and I don't want to feel restricted with JUST T-mobile phones. My problem is that I want to try and get as cheap a smart phone as possible, however, I'd REALLY prefer if it had wi-fi (being able to load youtube is enough). I am not interested in any data plans, so cost is a big deal for me. I am ultimately looking for:
*A phone that works with SIMS cards (T-mobile)
*Smartphone (MUST be able to read documents, ppts, etc..)
*Organizers such as calendars, as well as word (or some good word processor)
*Wi-fi capabilities (able to load youtube would be amazing, but absolutely enough)
*Either a full QWERTY keyboard, a "solid" touch screen, or if all else fails, at least a decent keyboard that has half-keys on it.

I would REALLY appreciate ANY help!
