    So I went to the Sprint Store yesterday to look for a bluetooth phone. The phones I were looking at were really cool and had lots of fun features and I was about to buy one, but they were all lacking one feature. They had a notepad function, but there was no way to put text from your computer into the notepad.

    Why?

    The phone can transfer files to and from a computer. However, the notepad app can't open a text file. I could send myself an email but you can't read them offline - useless if you want to check flight info when you're on a plane. I could send myself a text message, but that's limited to 128 characters.

    So is there a phone that does all of this:

    (1) Allow me to use it as my travel brain by storing text files on it for flight information.

    (2) Has a camera

    (3) Plays mp3 ringtones

    (4) Works reasonably well with the Prius.

    If so, please point me towards it.

    You must not have looked at any PDA phones. Our Sprint Treo 650 does all this. And the newer 700p would too. I imagine any PDA phone would meet your needs if you can verify it works with Prius.

    I forgot to add:

    "And doesn't cost $8,000,000" ;)

    I currently have a palm phone. I might have to keep using those.
