What is the most compatible smart phone for Mac?

[BestBuyBoy]

I need a new phone and was looking at (I am with sprint now but my contract is up) the Treo 700 wx. I have read that the palm version is more compatible but I have used palm for years and I think its an outdated os. I like the windows based models for some reason. any advice?

There are none.

WM based Palm isn't much better than others as far as OSX (mac, I suppose u meant OSX) compatibility is concerned. which means:

you can sync it with third party app.

iPhone should be somewhat compatible with mac

You can find list of phone isync supports here:

Safest bet seems to be a phone based on Symbian S60.

i will be extremely shocked if it turns out otherwise

Treo 650

I use a Treo 650 and purchased Missing Sync by Mark Space. I am very picky about my data, and Missing Sync was some of the best money I have spent on my mac. It is a fairly easy setup, and everything from ical and address book sync perfectly with my phone (including birthdates and other info that users often have trouble syncing). There are also options to sync with iphoto and itunes albums.

So, I would recommend a treo matched with Missing Sync. Hope this helps.

I use an Orange SPV M600 (Windows Mobile 5 based), and with MissingSync it works fantastically. Including iPhoto and iTunes integration

There's nothing wrong with Windows Mobile - I really like it.. However v6 is out now, so try and get one with that instead of WM5.. It's a big improvement. Don't even think about one that isn't v5 or v6.

Symbian-based smartphones (most Nokias) automatically can sync at least Address Book and iCal with no 3rd party apps or drivers needed. My T-mobile SDA (WM5) is a great phone, but I still haven't brought myself to make the plunge and purchase Missing Sync.

i would wait for the zune phone from msft. i would imagine it will be perfectly compatible with os x. probably even easier to sync with a mac than an iphone.
